Niece in Urbandale lost 3 trees. Luckily her house is fine structurally. Had to park a ways away and walk in.
WGN should have placed Tom Skilling in a glass case labelled "Break In Case of Emergency".
We live a half mile north of Bucs Ice Arena. Saw the debris ball approaching from Karen Acres and ran for the basement. Warning didn’t sound until it had already passed. Tornado basically took a stroll down our street. Fortunate we didn’t take too much damage, but a lot of houses and vehicles east of us got rocked. A shingle tore through one of our window screens.
I sat by him on the L one time, no one in my family believes me but I know in my heart it was him.
Janesville, WI. Wasn't supposed to rain at all. It was sunny where I was so I was really confused at first. A cold front came through and produced a small lime of storms.
Max Velocity is great. Ryan Hall has kind of jumped the shark, but Max is just a straight up broadcast meteorology junkie. The future of weather coverage imo.
Agreed. I switched to Max Velocity.
Same. He might get over his skis like RHY someday but by that time another guy will just be starting out and I’ll switch to him.
I will say that some of his Iowa city pronunciations have been hilarious. He once called Ames "A mess"
I don't know if this was posted, but I just saw it elsewhere online from the storms that formed over central Iowa into a derecho and did a lot of damage in Illinois and Indiana last night.
Much cooler today but the wind is still kind of weird feeling and the pockets of sun still are kind of the broiling heat.
Yeah went out and did some yard work and thought hey maybe I won't be drenched at the end of it this time....wrong.
Yeah it's like a lower temp but it doesn't have that 'air out of the balloon' feeling.
And I typically associate lower temps with less bugs (not guaranteed and the recent rain doesn't help) but if I was out of the wind today mosquitos and whatever else was around was all over me.
