Watched it go to the south I’m on the southern boarder of wright county they said flattened the grain bins in Luther Iowa which is heartland coop I believe.

I was working at a new Kwik Star on Center Point road and 42nd st. Just left Cedar Rapids as it hit. Got to Center Point and stopped at the truck stop just off of 380. That wind was relentless. You couldn't see 10 feet in front of you.

Cargill plant I work at sustained a lot of roof and side panel destruction. Trees down everywhere. Lot of damage to surrounding structures. Plant running on generator power only with power out in surrounding area as well as in metro. Counted around 10 semis on there sides going north on 380 out of Cedar Rapids in 10 miles. Kinda looks like a war zone.

Watched trees and part of my shop roof come off, power out in Marshalltown and towns east of there, tractor trailers blown over on highway 30 between tama and m town, trees and power lines down in half dozen towns I drove thru

It was derancho storm, I think some kind downdraft , we had one around 09 somewhere, sunday in August, 90-100 mph wind driven hail, probly 3 Rd of every roof in town had be replaced. Living down south in tornado areas. Would be bad on roofs. Windriven hail well destroy shingles in short time. Look like someone took shotgun to siding

kevin im right outside freeport and it was absolutely crazy kids play pirate ship almost made it to Winnebago county was crazy windy

Is the casino alright?

Forreston got hit hard with winds. I didn't here any damage at Groenewold's but a lot of damage in trailer park behind them. I live in Baileyville and had a little over a inch of rain and no damage. Tanker trailer was blown in Freeport. The wind and rain was crazy.

Just got done picking up branches however no significant damage to us. 6 tenths of an inch rain here.

gotta think it was meant for Chicago and god missed.he's a busy man right now.

sayin a prayer for all that did get it.

anything more-anymore is piling on.

Generators and chainsaws are in high demand. Electricity is still off in most of Cedar Rapids I believe so stores can't open. Menards in Norfolk NE sold 5 generators this morning heading to Iowa.

Casino closed to public but let tribal families stay if they lost dwellings, Idk if they open today yet. No power lots of towns along 30, some gas stations open but lines are blocks long to get to pumps.

Where's BLM when you really need them to help with the clean up.

I am working down there, just got back home. There are so many power poles snapped, trees uprooted or sheared off. Dozens of semis and campers at RV place tipped like dominos. All intersections with no lights. Cell service is sketchy at best. Wouldn't even want to guess how many signs twisted or snapped off. I- beam ones and huge ones with mega anchor bolt patterns. Lot of roofs gone. Unreal, like a tornado with a 30 mile wide path. On my way back North , every gas station had 50-100 card waiting for gas. The power companies have there work cut out to get power back on in the near future.

Still no power at my place. I'm way out in the sticks so probably not a high priority. Except the kids aren't happy they cant play on their new trampoline. My power pole fell within 20 feet of it so they've been told to steer clear of that. Cousin let me borrow his generator and my house is set for it so we have fridges,freezers and water again. Getting nervous because the pigs were getting low. Was planning on hauling buckets of water from the creek so were relieved that we have power to run the well.

A guy can think, boy we have a beautiful crop and now the prices will be cheap and in 24 hrs he gets wiped out and now he thinks prices will go up and I don't have much to sell.

The ex-wife left this morning to go help her Sister there. She stopped in Norfolk NE and bought the last two generators at Menards. Sounds like a nightmare.

On the Ag radio stations they say it was 500-750 miles long. One point they kept emphasizing was the damage to field corn and grain bins. The main point on the grain bins was many of them had cell and WiFi antennas on them and the impact that might have on schools in our current situation. Interested to know if that is relevant??
