So I guess I survived a tornado last night

[torbee]

My house is in the green line path. Two trees down and no power but Mrs Torbee, the two hounds and Mrs. McGillikitty rode it out in the basement.

good thing there weren't any bison on that bridge!

 

[OrlandNole]

To be fair, unless it hit your specific trailer park, you can't really say you "survived."

 

[TennNole17]

Am I doing it right?

I thought you were going to tell us about a new sex position Mrs. Torbee tried out on you

Hope you are well @torbee

 

[torbee]

It’s a real shit show along Locust Street. No functioning traffic lights from Bettendorf border to at least Bridge Ave.

 

[torbee]

Hope you are well @torbee

All good - just stuck with no WiFi, hot water, TV, lights etc. Eating out of a cooler.

I’m an “urban camper!”

Why? Bison are good swimmers.

I hope you also rode Mrs. Torbee out.

EF-1 is barely a tornado. Stop being such a drama queen!
JK, glad to hear you didn’t have much damage and everyone is okay.

 

[QChawks]

Tornado tried to get away from QC pizza as fast as possible!

I haven't delved too much into the where's and what's with this one (details like above are just now beginning to come in...will take a few days to get all the facts from everywhere it hit) - but last night's storm seemed to not want to follow the rules so to speak about decent sized to big cities. I do know the Chicago metro had a helluva time when the line rolled into town.

While I don't believe this one had any one particular cell that re-arranged anything quite like for example Greenfield - but it was indeed a very powerful storm that left a huge path of "holy shit it could have been a LOT worse" across Iowa and Illinois in particular.

It wasn't at a 2020 derecho level...still, pretty damn big storm. I'd say the NWS/weather nerds got this one right.

Peak winds 100 mph. That’s not screwing around.

@torbee reach out if you are in the County of Johnson.

 

[MikeyHawk]

They were talking about maybe a derecho in central iowa.

Glad you are safe, been a stormy past few months in Iowa

Tornadoes don't care. The vast majority of land in the US is not in an urban setting.

 

[bagdropper]

Certainly. And that's tearing through a densely populated area in comparison to out in mostly farm fields. That's gonna re-decorate the immediate areas so to speak.

Like I say, could have been a LOT worse. Just bump that up to an EF2 and holy hell...

Called out of work - cleaning up limbs and stuff

If you do need help, the beacon crew can meet you at pints. I hope you didn't suffer home damage.
