No trees down, corn seems to be standing tall. But I haven’t got out of the house yet.

77 mph wind gust at Independence last night around 2 that set off the alert system. We went to the basement around 2:30 with the 5 & 3 year old just to be safe. No damage in Monticello but 65 mph gust was recorded here

I was expecting a lot more than we got in Ames, which was pretty much nothing. Hope all elsewhere are OK.

Robins FD claimed they measured a gust to 98mph which prompted the warning to be upgraded to considerable damage possible and the sirens set off. I looked at the largely lack of storm reports and decided we were fine. I could see gusts to 70 but it wasn't 90+ less than five miles from them.

Seems to high wind reports were very isolated across the northern part of the state. People here derecho now and are all thinking of 2020, but that event was extreme even for derechos. Sustained 100+ mph winds is insane. That is a freak of freak type storm.

Lost power for several hours. F U Alliant. Drive to the farm to get the generator and all the yard lights were on everyone’s acreage. Farm was full power.

Looks like some more **** already this morning over some of the same areas in NW Iowa.
