Chis may be a one track minded obsessive but at least he isn’t a pussy who hides behind multiple handles. Scum of the earth, there.

We lost power for a couple hours last evening. A few twigs and limbs came down. Otherwise, could've been much worse. One death just SW of Cedar Rapids. Trucker flipped while driving during some of the worst of it and was not wearing a seat belt.
I went to the gym last night after the storms blew through. When I walked out it was hazy as hell outside and I noticed that same smell. There was a looooot of smoke blown in/csb
Damn, that reminds me...I will have to put up my exterior Christmas light again.
Same here. At least I brought in some of the 'standing' decorations. Although, I did find a new one in my yard that had been my neighbor's. Wonder if they'll notice it in my yard now 😄Damn, that reminds me...I will have to put up my exterior Christmas light again.
This happened right in front of first responders out on storm watch. They got there almost immediately and it was too late.
As was your mom!
Always gotta be the turd in the punch bowl, dontcha? Keep pushing for that WPOTY, my non-Gentile friend. 😉
Dave's son Pete lived on my dorm floor my freshman year at Iowa. He was a great guy and the closest thing to a celebrity on our floor.
Just got a notice emailed from Mid American Energy. Estimated time for power being restored is SATURDAY AT 6 PM. WTF. To make it worse, ordered more home fuel to fill tank for my Generac Generator and was told the price of fuel is now $1.94 a gallon instead of the usual $1.15 per gallon. I asked if it was going to go down at some period of time and they laughed at me. I won't say what else they said because it would get political. When you are ordering 700 gallons, that adds up.

its day time here now. Its pretty cold. Im in Cedar Rapids.
We lost power at around 6 last night and it's still not back on. Getting a tit bit nipple in the house.
Dang hope it's soon this cold not good to combine with it.
MidAmerican had 6500 customers without power according to my last email at 10am. Usually they have an estimated time for restoration, but that one just said they will update when they know an approximate time. So not looking good.

It's come down substantially. 1 bright side is you can put your fridge and freezer items literally outside and not lose it. The plumbing is of concern. Hopefully this afternoon.
Ugh! Good luck to you. If it gets too bad, would your insurance cover a motel stay? We were without power for 11 days after the derecho, and I was seriously considering it just to get a comfortable night sleep for us.
Just walked the front half of my property. I lost several trees, many of which were already dead, but I did lose a nice white oak back in my meadow.
Manageable.
Manageable.
We've had multiple friends reach out with a place to stay if needed. We only live 10 min from mason city and 15 from Clear Lake.
CR may have lucked out last night. Never had a tornado warning issued, just Severe Thunderstorm.

We lived. Probably have $150k in property damage claims, but that isn't much, thankfully. It certainly was windy though!

Saw pics of that. Just awful.
My notification was Saturday between 6-9. Last I saw there were still 19K without power in Pott County.
Yes. It is about an acre and a half and consist of native grasses and wildflowers. It's also where my shooting range is. You may be able to grow tomatoes year round at traditional manor but we have some cool shit around here also.
