Prairie and Center Pt have canceled things for tonight. CR schools have not.

Just heavy rain and small hail in town in Indianola anyway. Sounds like it was worse just to our NW

Waukee here... My smoker got thrown off my patio and the smoke stack is damaged and I've got a tree leaning bad but all in all, not bad.

They just finished the new Top Golf netting yesterday and it looks like 1-2 sections got ripped off.

Are they going to weaken at all before getting to CR?

Anyone know the status of the tornado that passed east of Nevada? It was heading toward Zearing and St. Anthony. My father lives a few miles south of Zearing on 65. I called him to say "get in the basement" and he said he could see it coming.

 

[AgronAlum]

A lot of sirens in Ankeny heading north out of town.

Didn't even lose power in the derecho here so its surprising

It might just be my neighborhood. We lose power with a gentle breeze, but it is usually back up quick. TWSS.

He's fine. Called after the storm passed. It missed him by about a mile. Thank you to all who left a kind reaction character to the first post.

Whew, a little too close for comfort.

It sounds like Ames was kind of in between some really nasty stuff. I always worry because my mom is there by herself. She didn't want to go to the basement until she was done cooking dinner

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Wow

 

[wxman1]
