Weather update
Just short of 7pm in Iowa, stuff has Started. My boss and coworker teamed up to make sure I was out before five, because shit was scheduled to kick off at six and this would allow me the time I needed to get home before then, even with a stop to refill my gas tank.
So far I haven't noticed anything in particular where I am, but my brother and his family, who live in a different area of town, have lost power, so Dad took a couple of coolers and some ice over to them. He also took a couple of lights I bought at the Dollar Tree after the derecho last year, which are actually still working; not bad for a couple bucks' investment, I must say!
Will update if needed.
Update: Just after 8pm; tornado sirens are going off. I believe I will take this opportunity to sit away from the window in my room.
Update 2: Just after 10pm; hopefully the worst has passed? I haven't been outside to investigate, but it's so far so good inside. Oh, also, there was a miscommunication; turns out that only the fridge at my brother's house is not working, rather than the power being out in the whole house.
