Tornado warnings popping up everywhere early this morning. This is just unreal at this point.

It's exhausting.

Tornado warnings popping up everywhere early this morning. This is just unreal at this point.

Totally normal to have multiple tornado warnings at 4:30 AM...

 

[CYaeger]

Sirens are sounding in Johnston.

 

[MeowingCows]

Ankeny too. This **** is getting real old.

WHO said there may be rotation near Polk City or something of that sort?

 

[dafarmer]

Funnel cloud over Griswold earlier and Exira . Everyone East of here be prepared for pop up tornadoes. Been up since 3:30 following this crap. Stay safe.

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Sirens are sounding in Johnston.

Rise and shine little dragons.

 

[SaraV]

Not how I wanted to fully wake up this morning. And looking at radar, the heavy stuff will be here right when I'm wanting to head to work.

Tornado warning now for northern Des Moines suburbs.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

This cell is big but doesn't look as intense on radar. Bird just chirping away outside my window in Johnston. Should be a promising sign of safety.

 

[ClonerJams]

I'm tired

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Ames too. This sucks. Sirens just turned off.

 

[Sigmapolis]

My wife wanted to get an uninterrupted night of sleep tonight.

Then the sirens came.

Then the dogs did a howl with the sirens.

So much for that.

 

[CYaeger]

Man.... F*** this

 

[ClonerJams]

Grimes in it per 13

 

[JP4CY]

Megan S said maybe debris in Grimes?

 

[cycloneG]

Good morning fellow fanatics. Nothing like waking up to the blissful sound of a tornado alert blaring on the smart phone, followed by some invigorating exercise of carrying sleeping children down to the basement.

I just happened to wake up at 430 and saw the tornado warning heading towards Ames and stayed up. All 3 of the phones in the house got the warning when it was issued for us but none of the phones went off. Was weird.
