If the Channel 13 radar predictor is correct (which often is not the case), it looks like the storms should hit Omaha around 8pm and Des Moines area around 10:45 or so.

Here’s an even crazier look at it.

I was out buying flowers and decided it was a pretend tornado. Didn't die.

Popping off in NW Iowa.

Is the worst if this staying north of Des Moines?

storms getting stronger into Western Iowa

 

[ClonerJams]

Sounds like we could be in for an interesting evening

From the radar it looks like what will roll through DM will be a thinner line.

Separate reports over the last hour of tornadoes on the ground in/near Salix, Kingsley, and Cleghorn.

Western Sarpy county Nebr about 40 mins ago. Lowering but really not much spinning. Went over Omaha and now heading NW of CB.

Whenever I've never heard of the town names I know I must be safe for the time being.

Is a derecho like storm developing west of fort dodge? Quite a boow is showing up on radar.

We are in the basement in Kossuth County. Doing what the 13 guy said. Notice just said until 10:15.

Channel 13 said no to that a half hour ago. Things change?

Still more rotation spots popping up on the northern half. Looks like the central and southern sides of the state won't have quite that much trouble. Northern Iowa above hwy 20 up to the border has been chock full of activity.
