Friendly reminder to those in the earlier path, weather radios are great, charge your cell phones/power banks and for the littles (and yourself honestly), have shoes and bike helmets ready if you'll be going to a basement or interior space. And any critical prescriptions/meds close at hand.

And for the dad's figure out where outside or in the garage you can watch from and remain reasonably dry.

DSM be watching that circulation near Macksburg. Thats the path of the Winterset tornado from a few years ago.

Radcliffe is between Ellsworth and Hubbard but it is in Sherman township. Don't know why they would use it for a warning

Google Maps shows it.
