She is trying to kill you. We need to assess the situation.
Hitting hard now here SW of Iowa City. Currently watching my younger trees bent almost sideways and yelling at them to hold on.
He was... just twiceWell then we know you aren't involved.
Mine didn't make it in the derecho. The root ball didn't want to quit so I let a small shoot grow and 4 years later I have a 15+ ft Maple again.
So OP's mom is getting railroaded tonight, (Duh), Lucas will be dead tomorrow, I take firsties on his widow, and the storms are going to take the tigerhawk off the water tower. Does that about sum things up?
Now see. You just jinxed yourself. Power will be out and generator won't work brag dawg

Looks like we made it without major damage. Letting up now, just a few limbs down. Had to be at least 75 mph gusts. Hope everyone stays safe and damage free.

Remember that by law if your neighbor's stuff flies into your lawn you legally own it.
I assume this diatribe is directed at @jellyfish10 ( and right on the money )
Don't forget the MAGA mother in law from Indiana is part of the deal plus the flea bitten 19 pound turd ball...
Donāt want it. Chucked it back in the neighborās yard. They are such idiots that donāt pay attention to the weather forecast and leave everything out to get blown away. You canāt fix stupid.
Pretty sure I posted this, but if not. My Aunt has a farm north of Roland. When she was mowing, she found paperwork from Greenfield. That is well over 100 miles.

And that's how you get a new roof in the Midwest nowadays.
Muscatine looks like the set of a Doomsday movie lol.
"And the sea was angry on that fateful day"...
I've told the story before here - in 1970 my family and I got caught out on the river by a tornado on the Mississippi near Cassville WI. Made it to shore, but the boat got swamped and we wound up spending the night on a nearby island.
We were in a back channel north of Cassville fishing, and things got really still and we could hear thunder to our west. My dad says "I don't like this, reel your poles in, we're heading home". We flew down the back channel and as we rounded the island corner back into the main channel, there it was about a half mile upstream.
The one thing I can still picture to this day was my brother was sitting on an air mattress, and the river waves were bouncing us so bad, it threw him off and wheeeee! Off it flew, pinwheeling end over end down the channel.
When the sun came up, we got the boat bailed and motor running and headed back to camp. Coast Guard and a bunch of campers were out looking for us. When our neighbor first saw us, the first thing he said was "we thought you were all dead".
Wow, that storm is consolidating. I texted my buddy in Chicago and told him to get stuff out the yard if he wanted to keep it.
Just some limbs and a good sized tree in the neighborhood took out a shed. Other than that, no. A fire dept in Western Dubuque County noted a wind speed of 102. It blew for a long timeā¦.not sure what the specs are for an official derecho but this was pretty crazy.
Glad your safe and not without damage
Still alive, and didn't get blown away.Muscatine looks like the set of a Doomsday movie lol.
I actually live just up the road from that bridge.
No tornadic activity but we had some really strong winds at the front of the storm and a good deal of rain for about 30ish minutes.
