3 innings done and then it went from here comes the storm to a gust front white out from sand and dirt as everyone ran for the vehicles.
It's crazy how long that thing stayed damn near stationary. That combined with how aesthetic it was made for some great video.
Yeah, it stayed in one spot on the road in front of them and grew from little more than a whirlwind to a full blown tornado in about a half hour. You’re spot on regarding the aesthetics too. The brown tube encircling the funnel was remarkable.
The first set of pics look solidly ef4 to me. Structure taken down to the basement or slab. The one guy had a partial underground setup; probably thought he was better protected from such weather. Guess not.
1.50 last night. Seems like we keep catching an inch or more every week somehow now. River is pretty full, not a huge concern from myself but my Mom's house is probably 100 yards or so from it.
In SW Iowa my Dad said they've gotten 9 since 5:30 Monday night. It would be nice to not get inundated today.
