And all the Iowa fans were upset that the watch party at Carver was canceled.

Am I crazy or does it look like these storms are going to converge like right over CR?

 

[Freebird]

So Chanel 8 says metro and Ames are in the clear. Are we done? Thought there was a round 2 or is that the snow and crap?

In the Timmer stream chat there saying there is a mile wide tornado on the ground in Iowa right now.

 

[cowgirl836]

That's a big ass tornado in Iowa. You need to be underground in SW areas near IC. This is going to be a tornado emergency if not already.

Need to those two separate cells to merge before this gets to more populated areas.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Omg some
Of the pictures on KgAn are insane. The structure is like nothing ever seen on these tornados. Almost looks like they are made of really intricate Lego bricks.

They are literally join together right now, watching live radar on channel 9.

 

[ISUcyclones11]

there is a massive amount of energy in that tornado

 

[huntt26]

Do cells joining together mean they get even stronger or does that weaken them?

 

[cowgirl836]

I'm going to be offline/mobile for an hour or so but this Iowa tornado is huge and insane energy. If you are anywhere near you really need to GTFO.

Iowa City, Cedar Rapids

Should weaken it. But who tf knows in this environment.
