I have lost rooves off several tin buildings. Houses are shedding shingles. Doors are gone off machine sheds. Dozen power poles are down within a mile or two.. Rooves tore up and are in my overhead power lines, so I can't generate. No power no water for cattle. Its a real shit show here. The wind straight from the west is something we usually don't see.

Central KS here as well. Had some gusts over 70mph around 5:30. Fort Riley sent out a mass text message telling people to stay indoors because of falling trees and power lines. Watch a tree in my side yard snap in half as shingles were being torn off. Yes, Todo, we are in Kansas.

Just finished buttoning stuff down and getting it covered with tarps to keep the water off so I don't have Frozen shit in the morning. Got the vehicles moved out of the way of any falling trees, I'm on my second beer, I think I still have time to take the dog outside to play fetch for a 15 or 20 minutes

Hour and a half south of the twin cities. 62 on my way home today, melted most of last Fridays snow. Rain and a pretty good lightning show coming in from the west now.
In my garage watching, we'll see what happens! |

I've already dealt with a tornado at 1 wind farm and it ain't fun. Luckily it didn't hit my house but we had some crazy strong winds. Power is out, hopefully it's not out for too long |

Saw a little bit of lightning earlier. A few small waves passed by so far, but just minor stuff. Looks like the edge of the big storm is just about to roll in.

NW Chicago suburbs here. Was getting a hair cut after work. One of the big plate glass windows at the front of the salon took a hard hit from a gust and really bowed in. Stylist and I were both watching it and it was freaky. Wind is about 25 mph right now.
The NOAA Great Lakes forecast this morning was saying there could be hurricane force winds on Lake Superior. Maybe a gusty t’storm here after midnight. Keeping my stuff charged just in case. |

Safe here in Boone, Iowa. Very high winds, hail, rain, constant lightning but thankfully no naders. 70+ mph winds nearby. Lights flickered a bit at my house but others around me have lost power. Limbs and some trees down but that seems to be the extent of damage here.

Ugly here in Northern Iowa. Tornado sirens going off for 25 minutes without stopping. Kids were scared, but ok now. Still raining and windy but sirens have finally stopped and hail has stopped. According to the radar, round two in less than two hours.

Thankfully, I live just south of a huge patch of asphalt and concrete that’s been basking in the sun all day. Should be just enough heat rising tonight to push the line of storms on radar to the north.
I feel bad for folks in central missourah and the missourah-Arkansas border, though. Stay safe, everyone. |

We only had regular thunderstorms, pea sized hail. Wind is picking up.
Not so much as a power flicker, but the generator is literally sitting ready to fire it up so I can overreact to an outage

We've only had heavy horizontal rain of big drops, glad it isn't snow but it will be a skating rink when it's done since it's dropped below freezing with the wind and rainfall rate keeping the water on all the streets while they go to freeze mode. Main roads are getting the liquid de-icer prophylactic stuff, not sure what qualifies for that, i guess it's more spendy but they use the "safe" / corrosion reducing additive (no clue what) ice and snow melt and gravel everywhere else.
Not as bad now as it was a bit ago, and looks to be winding down. Current Wind Speed W 28 G 41 mph Rain and snow likely, possibly mixed with freezing rain before 10pm, then a slight chance of snow between 10pm and 11pm. Some thunder is also possible. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 19. Windy, with a west northwest wind 25 to 35 mph, with gusts as high as 60 mph. Chance of precipitation is 60%. Little or no ice accumulation expected. Total nighttime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible. |

Sirens went off about an hour ago, power went out...was in basement for a while. Wind gusts of 102 MPH reported 11 miles East of me where parents live. Several tornados spotted. Local radio station and tv news station still out. Des Moines to Rochester still getting 71 to 82 MPH wind gusts. I've seen a few tornados...had one go by our house as a kid at 3 AM after work. You'll never ever forget the power of the suction and sound they produce.

Had some tornado touchdowns the next county south of me about 4:30-5:00. Then pretty quiet, until about a half hour ago, and now the wind is really picking up again.
