a tornado was reported east of Des Moines

Bad timing for this event for this area. Most of the stuff will have crapped the bed before reaching here later tonight. Next shot at decent rains will come Monday.

here is the debris ball close to the Air Force Base

It would have been a record year with all the 7+ day snow we never got.

Looks like it just barely missed the afb but many structures nearby are destroyed

possibly the most dangerous tornado emergency this year

Ravens got what they needed most- protection for Lamar. VEGA! Talk about an upgrade over Filet-le.

non-confirmed tornado at West Des Moines

Nice. My next-door neighbor has one similar to that one, maybe a few years newer. I get to work on it and borrow it typically a few times per year, it has a big bagging attachment that comes in handy. My standard lawn machine is a 22-inch walk behind; it's a three-mile round-trip hike through the yard.

Well, if Dustnado chasing is a thing I'm the king lol. I counted a Bakers Dozen in my travels today. Some pretty stout ones too, a couple hundred feet tall and 10 to 20 feet wide. Some rated a 5 on the limb whipping scale when they ran into woods from the Dust Fields. Probably scared the crap out of some squirrels. Just call me Tweed Rimmer..... The Dustnado Chasing King

Three tornado warnings in the Des Moines metro area

Large tornado near Oklahoma/Kansas border (same as previous post)

Good ole Craftsman GT 3000. Almost 30, first cut of the season.

this. I cut the cable about 6-7 years ago, and 4 years ago replaced the AM/FM/cassette radio in my antique Honda with a carplay touch-screen hands-free aftermarket unit with back-up camera that connects to my phone the internet is a much more efficient time-waster than teevee, where you have to surf through 57 channels to figure out there's nothing on worth watching; there is always something on youtube etc. worth wasting time on

Since there's no active severe thread in the other subforum I'll just it here. PDS warned storm approaching Braman OK.

me either people still watch tee vee ?

It’s not that difficult these days. Would be much more impressive if it were 1985 and not 2025. Lots of sources for news and sports without having to use traditional media. And I used to work in radio…

The "media" know what (too many) people want to see and hear, so that's what we get. Informed / entertained; does it matter which ? Profit is the goal.

I don’t

Mammoth got 16 inches of snow earlier this week. Probably another month of winter to go for them.
