The humidity these last few days has been miserable. Going to be a hot, humid summer with all the rain we've been getting lately. Low humidity has been about the only pleasant thing to come out of the droughty conditions the past couple years.

Man, pouring here just west of Mpls. Torrent of rain. Side garden on hill is just washing away and the driveway is a river of water. Once it stops drive will be mostly mud covered.


Edit: Yeah, the tweet below sounds about right. Fast and Furious.

One of the most photogenic tornadoes ever on multiple streams right now.

Was watching this one and it's forecast hail on the radar. Was supposed to hit my burb at 7:10 but ended up tracked south of me. Did a happy dance.

Got another .3" last night. That's 1.7" in the past 2 days out in Waukee. I'll take it.

If you think about how strong the updrafts have to be to carry these bad boys up into the freezing levels multiple times to make them that big … that’s a stupendous amount of energy in those storms.
