If you were building new it really wouldn't be terrible expensive to do that at ground level would it? My biggest problem would be not filling it up with stuff. It would be a great place to store important stuff though.

Assuming you are talking about Greenfield, and I’m just spitballing. it was a PDS Warning right? Tornado emergency seems to be used for larger population centers?
Our daycare lost power at 4:30 yesterday and is still out, so they're closed today. Last update indicates they don't expect power back until midday tomorrow, which probably means they're closed again tomorrow. Working at home with a toddler is not for the weak.
For all of you weather geeks in this thread - is there a website where I can find an image of the path the tornado took; the one that passed near Cambridge, Nevada, and Zearing?
I've been searching this morning but I don't really know where to look. At least our internet is back. From yesterday afternoon on, all I had was throttled data, and Lew couldn't even access THAT on his phone. We're guessing a relay tower got hit...maybe the ones in Alleman? For a short while yesterday we couldn't even make phone calls.

They used it for Barnsdall which is half the size. It looks like there's NWS guidance but then up to the local ones to dole out. So could be differences between Norman and DSM. Maybe with the city of DSM targeted down the line, they didn't want to drop the emergency too early.

Yes, the Greenfield tornado had a PDS warning. If I recall, it appeared the tornado was on track to move just west of town by a couple miles. But it made a right turn shortly before striking the town.

This shows damage reports and can kind of guess the path from that. Not sure an official path will be out till NWS gets done with their surveys.
Our daycare only had power to certain rooms of their building. Apparently they had three power lines going into the building and only prioritized one of them. They had the kids consolidated into a few classrooms.
Correct. They will have the exact path in the storm summary but they do not have that page published yet.
HO-LEEEE SHT...,
If that red dot indicates one point on the path of the tornado, it was less than a mile east of us! I've never had one closer than 5-6 miles despite over 40 years in the midwest.
If there's enough hail or flood damage some crops may have to be replanted. Most should survive. I'd rather replant than pick up debris. I imagine picking up the debris is what most are concerned about right now.
Corn growing point is still under ground until V5 (5th collared leaf) and will regrow even if shredded off. Not ideal but will survive unless buried under mud (or water for a couple days)
Took a walk through the neighborhood and we got pretty lucky, saw at least 10 small to medium trees, large branches down and some mature oaks down in the adjacent neighborhood. One section of the neighborhood about 2 blocks away looked the worst.
