It sounds like Ames was kind of in between some really nasty stuff. I always worry because my mom is there by herself. She didn't want to go to the basement until she was done cooking dinner
The funny is only because she wanted to finish cooking. I'm really glad she is fine. No offense meant by the emoji I used.
Hopefully he was not empty, a full tanker semi trailer might be pushing 40 ton so might not have gotten flipped. That flying debris though. Yilkes.
Yes, I found a clip that was a bit longer and less obscured. That's exactly where it looked to be. A close call for Nevada, for sure. My aunt lives on the east side of town, so she was far too close to it also. Haven't heard from her yet. Hopefully they were either gone for the day or it's simply a cell tower issue due to the winds.
Edit: Heard from my aunt, they're ok too.

She would have if it had gotten really serious. But I do feel obligated to keep an eye on things on days like this. Including this thread, which is actually about as useful as the actual NWS warnings.
I am looking at replanting 1/3 of corn and beans. Maybe more. Have 46 acres not planted yet, which is a good thing. I don’t like the idea of planting corn in June , but we will this year. Rain totals and pics of fields, if true are wild.

Friends and family who are worried...
WE ARE FINE!
We lost power AND internet in the house so other than the siren we had no idea what the path was, so we parked our asses in the basement.. Lew managed to reach Becca and she told us the tornado was over Cambridge and heading our way. Iy apparently crossed HWY 30 a mile or 2 west of us and continued NE from there.
All people, cats and property are accounted for. We had very strong winds but don't seem to have any damage to our trees.
Thanks for all the concerned texts...we love you!

Any word on what did happen to him. Doesn’t look like the guy who sat there ended up in great shape.
Literally my first thought too when I saw the video!
was at the gym in ankeny and the staff made us go to the locker room. Was following the radar and you couldn't even see the tornado because it was in the radar dead zone.
