This **** is really getting old.

 

[exCYtable]

I was terrified of storms when I was a kid. This spring would have traumatized me back then.

 

[tyler24]

I live on the south side of Ames. Got some strong winds there for a minute as the area with rotation went over us.

 

[ForbinsAscynt]

Weatherman said we are in the clear. Chances I fall back asleep are slim

 

[Sigmapolis]

I feel like Waukee has a forcefield around it.

The worst of the storms always seem to split around us.

 

[FerShizzle]

My 2 year old is running laps in the basement right now. He is not going to be going back to sleep.

Heavy rain just started but looks like winds on the way

 

[cy4prez7]

Not how I wanted to fully wake up this morning. And looking at radar, the heavy stuff will be here right when I'm wanting to head to work.

Yeah don't do that! Jason S on KCCI said to blame it on him if you're late!

 

[isufbcurt]

Living room window pulsing from the wind.

Tv going out now

Power out now

 

[wintersmd]

Same location for me. Got a little intense.

Same here.

Personally never experienced wind like this. Hopefully it passes fast

West Des Moines as well. Trees moving more intense than they did on Tuesday for us. Might have been me watching from 2nd story vs walkout basement, though.
