Yeah, it's pouring rain to the south of you, but this is a fast-moving storm. I have errands to do in Ankeny, but those are on hold until the storm passes.

We got a good storm last night. Our next round of severe weather got moved to tomorrow night. Which probably means we will get hit again tonight.

Hi Guys,
This is just east of us. It passed over us. The damage is significant. All the local fire depts are busy with wires down and lightning strikes. We haven’t had a storm like this since the one that nearly destroyed downtown Kalamazoo when I was in high school. (In 1980…40 years ago this week)
According to our local news, no casualties yet.
The weather guys are saying that this latest storm is following I-94. Pray for these poor people…they are sitting ducks on the interstate!
Blacknarwhal…this thing is headed toward your neck of the woods…heads up and prayers for you!

Red Baron,
That is what I’m watching. They say that the Kellogg and Post Plants are potentially in the path.

I think it was a localized storm that just popped up: it was a fast mover. Within about 15 minutes we went from sunny to black - to - green looking clouds and then it poured rain, so hard that I couldn't see across the street. Glad that I was home and not out on the highway. In about 10 minutes or so, it moved out.

Ankeny got a ton of rain from what I saw on the radar.

My errands are canceled for tonight. I will try again tomorrow morning. Stuff can wait.

Sounds like a good plan, with the amount of rain we’ve had the rivers and creeks are starting to rise.

They just upped the warnings for us this afternoon. Hail and the whole box of possibilities. Our skies turn yellow before tornadoes but the storms are due after 4 pm so that clue probably won't be visible. Stay safe everyone.
