I have one of the windows open & I can feel the power of this storm building. It's incredible 😲
The car is gassed. Hotel money in me pocket.
FBN: was there a quake in your area a couple of days ago?
Multiple tornado warnings in W. Iowa

You're lit up now with multiple tornado warnings on my local weather.
Storm is 30 min out.
ETA: The CD sirens are almost non-stop.
It's about 10 min or so now.

The storm is moving fast, so the worst will be over quickly.
I will have to be alert till midnight here.
with ya online and in spirit, buddy
It's here @ 1824 hrs. :panic:
watching your linked weather reporting
Yea gives us the all clear when it is past
The temp is being reported as having dropped 17°F in 9 minutes.
I believe the worst has passed. I still have power.
Destructive winds until midnight here.
Yea it's still blowing hard here also.
There is a strong smell of smoke in the wind. They have evacuated the town of Ellis KS due to a large wildfire. Ellis is near Hays. It's about three hours west of me . So that must be a heck of a fire.
In answer to the earthquake question. Yes. Didn't feel it. epicenter about 60 miles away.
Anybody hear from Woodghost? This passed over Omaha
I'm getting a smoke smell here.

News is coming in about my area storm.. threat (done)... wind damage (small numbrs of random severe damage. Could have been much worse).. power outages (at this posting, scattered, 180,000±).. smoke (3 lrg grass fires westrn Kansas began, may have merged? Maybe 3 towns evacuated ahead of smoke? fire?).. dust storm in western Kansas (done, almost zero visibility 90mph wind n some places for awhile. AQI right now- bad)... earthquakes (4 Saline county)
History making weather in KS today.

Tomorrow 👵
I live about 20 minutes north of Kansas City, and we got a lot of wind, but nothing really bad. However, that Russell County fire in Kansas, which is roughly 4 hours from me, is burning bad enough to have an extremely strong smoke smell in our neighborhood, and the smoke is noticeable in the porch light of our home. No power loss or other issues though, so we came out pretty good so far I'd say...
This (large) apartment building was having multiple calls to security from tenants reporting smoke in the building.
I had my small air cleaners (https://ufozs.com/smf/index.php?topic=356.msg6089#msg6089) on high for maybe three, four hours to help keep it down. With the wind way down and direction not straight at us right now, that one dense smoke area on the weather report may be skirting us for the time being.

I'm thankful to see that all of our affected members seem to have made it through safely, so far, though I do have concerns about Woodsghost.
Should any of you need assistance that this community/family can provide please don't hesitate to ask. None of you are ever really alone; we've got your backs.

Holy crap!
I would never try to drive in those circumstances....of course, driving in snow here is a breeze to me.
I guess it is all what you are used to.

About how fast would y'all say those winds were? The highest I rode the scooter in was around 35-40, and that was highly entertaining.
What I heard was 60 to 100.
After the Thunderstorm passed ( I'm hearing now that it was a derecho) The wind was still howling. My wife and I decided to run to town and just get burgers from Mc Donalds. Driving down the wind was from rear quarter and not too terribly bad. When we got to the drive through they had just got power back on and told us it would be awhile to reboot their systems. It was half an hour. Got our food, I'm starving and start eating my free upgraded large fries while driving home. The drive home with a front quartering wind direction with gusts to 60 was a whole different animal as I was fighting the steering wheel the whole way while clutching my bag of quickly turned squish fries

The Iowa loop shows the line of tornadoes heading towards MP That I commented on last night.
Oh, and btw. My home weather station did not survive this storm. The pole it was mounted on snapped at ground level and the station is in pieces
Hey Ya'll!
Kitts & I survived just fine. Power here was out for about 2.5 hrs tops. So far, the twisters are classified as EF0's It was a good exercise for me. I don't think the Kitts noticed anything.
My core preps easily held up, but the landline is out, DSL is crawling. The tablet from the VA is how I'm getting around online. I id have to reset my YT Music app. Again. I'm getting tired of that.
After the Derecho last year (2020), no one here was taking any chances but it wasn't near as bad here (Capital Area) in DSM.
Woods, check in.
I've reached out to Woods via alternate means. I'll let you know if I hear anything before he gets back in here himself.
He's probably one of the more capable and prepared people we know, so it would likely take a pretty direct hit to seriously affect him.
Looking after family during the holidays is probably a bigger challenge for him right now.
