Mother's day weather thread

Love when these come during the day but dang at night this can get scary. Sounds like it will get north of me but the storms will have the kids coming to my bed pretty quick
 
In northwest Ames on the deck with CF watching it come in.

Also, the coverage on the Weather Channel is awesome
 
I will say John made explaining wind formations interesting for the last ten minutes. I like how he's describing it.
 
It's starting to get a real sinister feel here in Ames. Still quiet, but lots of lightning on the horizon.
 
Tornado warning here for Ankeny. I suppose the 3rd story of my apartment building isn't the best place to be
 
Looking at the radar it looks like the two tornado warning areas will split Ames - one to the north of Ames and one to the south of Ames
