Also in North Ames. Glass of bourbon in hand. Bring it on, weather.

bourbon does not act as an anchor in case of a wind event.

I'm not hearing any sirens yet.

Sirens going off near us now. Park Avenue in Des Moines just south of Water Works.

Same here by the airport. Kinda stupid considering we aren't in the warning area.

I see the tornado warning boundaries end just south of Ames. Watching the coverage on KCCI from my Frederiksen Court apartment because my cable channels keep going out.

Sirens going off in Boone, per a friend there.

Down in the basement for real

Sirens in Johnston and rain starting to come down hard

The downfall of sirens. Most counties don't have the ability to pick and choose which ones to activate leading to an all or none situation.

Wind and heavy rain in Grimes. Plenty of thunder. To the north looks much worse from the view I can see. Very low clouds.

Ed just said Madrid doesn't even have sirens. How is this possible?

Moved sleeping in laws to basements, yay

Still mostly lightning in Ames. Little thunder and rain, but nothing too intense, yet.
