    I'm Officially An Iowan, Huge Tornado...

    Watched this one from my back porch.



    North side of town got hit hard.

    Thankfully I live on the south end of town.

    Dang, that was quite the spinner. Got a notification on my phone for tornado touching down in Iowa, likely the same one.

    I’d rather deal with hurricanes than that tornado BS, no thank you!

    Having done both, I'd rather do tornadoes. You can actually go outside and see where it's going. Also there isn't two weeks of "maybe we might get this storm."

    Just saw film on TV of a residential area near there getting ripped up by 2 funnels.

    I was driving into Pella for dinner when it hit. The clouds were crazy but the sky didn't go green. Next door neighbor works at Vermeer--his truck survived but it took a beating. It was a blue sky thunder afternoon.

    Y'all can keep the tornadoes and hurricanes both!

    This is the first one to hit town in the last 30 years or so, so theoretically we should be good to go for the next 30 years.

    I find tornados and other acts of extreme weather fascinating and mesmerizing. I know it ruins lives and kills people but you can't help but be awe struck.
    I am part of that power which eternally wills evil, and eternally works good.

    This is possibly the greatest tornado video ever filmed. Dude just stands there, filming, while it takes out his house. Unfortunately his wife died in the tornado as well as the neighbor.
