Here we go.

 

[CYdTracked]

Going to be interesting to see where things develop. I've been watching forecasts and apps and seen everything from nothing in DM to a pretty decent cell passing through around 6pm

 

[Pope]

I'm going to be so pissed if I lose power tonight while playing NCAA 25

Power is going out in Ankeny already, but it's not storm related. Folks who participate in Mid American's energy savings program are having their AC turned off periodically between 2-5pm today.

I forgot I signed up for that - just cancelled - it's 76 upstairs where my pregnant wife's office is. Less than ideal.

That sucks. Its 117 degrees heat index at my house.

looks like things have shifted east a bit.

Kinda looks the same, minus the area now in moderate risk. Last map before still had Ames and Des Moines in the slight risk.

Do not want

 

[CyCrazy]

Thunder is strong in Ames right now.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Oh.

 

[CRcyclone6]

YUCK

 

[awd4cy]

Really picking up steam now

 

[Gunnerclone]

Really hoping that a true derecho doesn’t happen this evening in eastern Iowa.

 

[BigJCy]

Really hoping that a true derecho doesn’t happen this evening in eastern Iowa.

Yeah nobody needs to go through that again.

 

[madguy30]

Well if this comes to fruition, hold onto your butts.

 

[Gunnerclone]

Yeah nobody needs to go through that again.

Storm motion is so slow. So hopefully that maintains.

 

[Hoggins]

Feels very August 10th 2020 right now…

How many weeks pregnant?

 

[cowgirl836]

It's important. You range the risk of strong vocal lashing to dismemberment.
