Just hit the camera live on WOWT

Just heard one of their weather guys tell people in rural areas near the path of the storms to go to the basement immediately. "45 minutes in your basement could save your life."

This jumped back up quick but looked sketchy for a bit.

The synchronization of the velocities on the two confirmed in W IA is mesmerizing.

PDS warning for that Carter Oak Ute storm

Parents took the kids so we could go to a 7pm movie here in Waukee. Does it look like it’s going to be rough here and hail? If so, will reschedule.

Parents can see the tornado by Underwood now. Luckily far enough away and not in the path.

The amount of rotation on the Nola storm is crazy it might produce another huge one.

I'm reading this with weather nerdiness, then concern for all my friends in Omaha, THEN my freakin' brain reminds me my FIL and his wife live in west Omaha.

Edit: Husband just got in touch with his dad. They're good. *whew*

Looks like going straight into Minden.

Scary storm “This is May 3rd stuff” as they say in Oklahoma City.

Edit: holy **** this is a scary tornado. Very scary.

I’m flying back to Des Moines tonight and arriving at 9:30pm. Hopefully I won’t have any weather delay.

Oh Lordy

April 30, 2019, tornados hit our area and our property. Luckily our house was spared.

I will never again watch tornado weather again with the attitude that it won't hit us!

Anyone in DSM area: I see the temp has shot up is there any clearing going on?
