In SC WI so far today I don't feel the same sort of pressure in the air as earlier in the week.

Hopefully that means some generally milder storms.

A few sprinkles off and on here and the temperatures dropped 21° in the last hour and a half

In a matter of five minutes it got dark in the west here in Marion. Clouds moved in thicker then I got a lightning notification for a cell that was newly developed in NE Linn. It is now warned with 1" hail reported. Escalated quickly.

Welp now I can feel the pressure and it looks like we're going to get blasted and everyone is going to die.

Pretty sure the front just moved through Waukee, so I'm assuming we're in the clear. Temp dropped 10 degrees on my ~3 minute walk to the mailbox and was windy AF

This has to be the most frequent hail situations and tornado warnings in a week I've ever seen in my life.
