Definitely could have used more rain though.

Everyway I thought of typing it I knew that this was the response

Holy heck is it raining hard. Hail too.

There is a derecho line setting up in Iowa going through Des Moines right now and headed this way for the mid-to-late afternoon hours. Could be pretty brutal especially around Rush Hour. Definitely going to be some trees down and power outages in the area later on

Good thing I just contracted a shit ton of corn.. hopefully the wind is kind.

80-100mph wind gust have been seen in Iowa. Sustained winds of 50 miles an hour or more blowing for like 10 straight minutes have also been confirmed. Going to be a rough afternoon.

One of my Iowa Facebook friends posted pics with chunks of lumber that got blown through the side of a house.

If I wasn’t an idiot, I’d try to share a pic...

The people that post on that page on FB are easily some of the most insane people I've ever seen. It scares me that many of them live around me.

Well that was fun. Lasted about 30 min. Knocked everything out. No power,cable went out 10 min before.
At the height was almost as bad as a hurricane

I’ve seen worse. Stood on the front porch for a but of it and contemplated life as I half expected the linden tree to snap in half. I actually think the storm that came through about a month ago had higher winds locally.

Tornado warning according to my phone!

Once the thing hits Dupage it starts smelling the lake and peters out.

It must be bad, no ones calling it panic porn for weather nerds.

Lots of tornado warnings but any actual tornadoes yet?

Tornado ain't messing with the Sears Tower

Looks like demolition debris that wasn't covered well enough.
