think how far that smell will travel 🤓
yep. that got the blood pumping. took me right back to 2020
Counties eastward can only hope to be so blessed. Crunchberry Day for everyone.
Same.
Well, the weather folks got this one right. They've been talking about this since Sunday and pretty much nailed it.
@jamesvanderwulf how are things looking for you? Looks like Hills took a direct hit.
That’s my favorite Mexican place.

Hope it didn’t do much to the restaurant and will just affect an upstairs.
Sshh don't tell anyone about it... it's our go to spot as well, despite a capacity of about 15 lol.

Lots of hail and my backyard is flooded in the D
Wow. The people on radio made it sound like Tiffin was going to get hit but it must have went slightly east
This guy is great to follow and his coverage during the whole storm was/is superb! Ryan Hall
Tornado went right over my folks farm North of Solon. I was able to let them know it was coming due to watching that guy as my dad was out in his shed working and had no idea it was that bad.

Pretty wise idea to cancel the watch party at Carver tonight. I can only imagine a lot of folks may have been on the strip eating/drinking before heading up there.
We're good here, thanks for your concern. It destroyed some of the homes in the far NW corner of town. Casey's damaged and some of the 12 units I helped build. Power lines downed just west of the sand road and lots of damage on the Robertson farm, just north of the old Dave Long building. Did you make it to old 218 today? I went through about noon and didn't see any bikes. I would have stopped and introduced myself...
Neighbors in SE Cedar Rapids found bank statements from residents from Hendrick in their yard today....crazy.
The amount of live tornados I saw on tv today was insane...KGAN Road Warrior had the Brooklyn one develop live, had the Coralville one and then another later in West Branch...
Today was unlike anything I've seen with most of the afternoon having 3-4 confirmed tornados on the ground at the same time.

This system was HYPED up big time, and totally lived up to the hype. Absolutely nuts.
Score another one for science. The models nailed this and likely saved lives.
Good to hear! I saw some video of the NW side of town and it looked nasty.
I did make it down, but didn't realize Hills now has Food Truck Fridays so ended up getting a pizza and just heading north ASAP. Figured it was best to just get home and not mess around as I tend to get lost in the tap occasionally!

Modern tv meteorology is also amazing. They show down to the block level where and when rotation is happening. Very helpful.
They take a beating, but the job these on-air weather pros do is fantastic, I watched CBS2 and Rebecca K went wall to wall and had composure and nailed it, covering several significant storms and debris balls, I'm sure the other channels did the same...the environment is changing but luckily technology is keeping up with it.

Storm nights were actually very satisfying when I was in the biz. Feels good to help people stay safe and the teamwork behind the scenes is a big part of it too.
