If you are curious as to what is causing the very high winds today, below is Exhibit A. A very strong low pressure system over western KS has created a wide range of weather impacts throughout the Midwest today. pic.twitter.com/wFVSKvCvtO
We caught a line of strong thunderstorms off that lower tail about 3am. Temp dropped from 70 to 60 and it's pretty breezy today. Nothing compared to what some are getting. [Reply]

We had thunderstorms a couple of nights ago. It's always cool watching the lightning reflect off of a foot of snow!
Of course, it rained all day yesterday and was almost 60 degrees so it's time to change the thread title to "Another Fucking Flood Thread" [Reply]

90 MPH winds and also our Texas facility had a roof blown off.
Cyclone bomb is the real deal!
UPS was flagging packages as "undelivered due to natural disaster" in like half the country. LOL [Reply]
We had several inches of wet heavy snow and 60mph winds since yesterday noon. Winds have slowed to the 25mph range. Lost power last night at 6pm and got it back on about 2am. Thank God temps were in the 25 degree range because it could of gotten cold real quick after the power went if it had been around zero. Looking around I see some 4ft drifts but see any major damage. Friends lost 3 trees in their yard and an attached patio canopy type thing. [Reply]

Yep, same here in central Iowania.
The worst part is the big rivers are still 2 months away. When the snows in the Dakotas start melting, the fun is going to start.
Better stock up on the arm floaty things before they sell out. My farm ended up with a flood control pond on the upper Grand river drainage after the 93 floods if I remember correctly. [Reply]

Des Moines had 275,000 people without fresh water for a couple of weeks.
In 2008, downtown Cedar Rapids had like 10 feet of water in it.
