If you had two bad posts,a good chance the rest was starting to go. There is a chance that what they did expedited the others falling but it was just going to be time.
I was startled awake this morning to my phone blaring the warning. After I practiced my Kung fu to get it turned off I realized we weren't even in the warning. It sure got the blood pumping though.Still don't understand why we didn't get audible alerts on our phone for the Story County tornado warning. The alert came through because we had to dismiss them, but no sound. Talking with folks in the office this morning and it looks to be split pretty close to 50/50 whether the alert was audible or not. We would have slept right through it had I not waken up at 4:30 and happened to check the radar right before the warning came out.
I apparently DID. And no phone alert.Heard those but only after my mom got an alert on same phone that I have and woke me up.
If she hadn't woken up I could have even slept through sirens.
Seems like a drought always bring flooding eventually. Problem with 2013, we had all the flooding, then the rain shut off again after mid June and we went right back to a severe drought.This is starting to feel very, very 2013...
Tired. Gonna be a long day at work.
I’ve been thinking this too. Constant rain until mid June and then it was like somebody shut off the spigot.This is starting to feel very, very 2013...
Williams is a taskmaster.I thought you worked here?
Well, that worked. Juice just returned.Going on 6 hours with no electricity in Ankeny, east of I-35. Got my 3 mile walk in and saw no storm damage.
I was just saying that this reminds me of the 93 floods. Seems like serious rain every 1-2 days.I don’t love this pattern that Iowa is in right now. Reminds me of some of the big flood years and June is right around the corner.
I remember a continuous loop of rain-evaporate in the heat-rain for nearly the entire month of July 1993. Des Moines had no water for quite a few days. I met my husband right after those floods, and heard many horror stories from him.I was just saying that this reminds me of the 93 floods. Seems like serious rain every 1-2 days.
I was one of 3 on staff Civil Engineers directing flood fighting efforts at a Military base located on an Island in the Middle of the Mississippi during that all time record flood event on the river.I remember a continuous loop of rain-evaporate in the heat-rain for nearly the entire month of July 1993.

I was at FT Hood for an Army school. My wife was 7 months pregnant during that time. When I got home I never heard the end of it. I missed the no water in Des MoinesI remember a continuous loop of rain-evaporate in the heat-rain for nearly the entire month of July 1993. Des Moines had no water for quite a few days.

That's on you.
It's definitely a much different pattern from last year. Love the new normal of extremes.
I drove down 37th this morning and saw a large tree that had been uprooted by the storm very close to that track.Johnston with the double dip this week.
NWS confirms EF-0 this morning, Terra Park to the NE.
