It's nature night on IPTV, interesting show about the Pacific 1st,now a show about Caribou migration in the Arctic.
looks like pretty heavy damage in McGregor, IA. Friend near there posting pics - we stayed there a couple years ago for a wedding, beautiful little town.
Town is closed to traffic. Emergency calls are being routed to Delaware county casue they have no power a sheriffs there. Implies enough damage to have knocked out generator power which I would guess they would have (maybe not).
This is a second story collapsed and crushing the 1st floor.
Had a long, fun day. Today my paternal grandma turned 88. Her health issues have led to living at Rolling Green in Nevada. Today I cam and checked her out and my dad and I took her to Perkins for breakfast, then to his house for the rest of the day through supper.
Glad to see her having so much fun. Here she is from a few years ago with her friend CY when RVTV came to Nevada.
I saw that 2nd pic on fb and had wondered if part of the bluff gave way in a mudslide or something before I saw it was a tornado. Sad to see, the downtown area was lovely. Also buried in the bluffs, seems like an odd spot for a tornado to get.
Better now than a week from now.The weather gods are not being nice to Clayton and Allamakee counties (again).
Spelling bee? No problem. Quilting bee? Break out the Benadryl.I have considered those for bees. I had a couple of bad reactions when I was in my 20's to stings, mostly swelling and dizziness. Got stung last week by one that was impatient when I was watering the garden. As dry as it is, they all show up for that. I immediately got a kid to help me clean it up and didn't react. It may depend on what kind of bee it is.
Like everything else medical, I think they are bankrupting people who need those now.
So technically a tornado can get anywhere but I would bet my life savings that this was all straight line winds. The storm was moving at 70-75 mph so it doesn't take much of an actual storm wind to amount to 100+mph vector winds.
Get to go to Cedar Rapids next week for a company open house/golf tourney. Really hoping I don't embarrass myself to bad on the course.
