Wow folks. I'm in S.E. Iowa and we had those tremendous straight line winds...maybe 50-60 mph. I stood on the front porch to finish my smoke like an idiot...then was afraid to open the door once it started and go inside. Figured it'd get ripped outta my hands. That north facing porch got real wet, but kept me outta the majority of the wind. Carhartts were pretty well soaked in those 15 minutes.

We got 0.6" in that short time...sorry for all your damage and just glad none of you were hurt or worse. Feel pretty bad about those other poor souls...

In a lifetime, the average driver will honk 15,250 times. My wife figures I'm due to die any day now...
