Now that was one hell of a storm [View all]

I am hoping all Iowa DUers are safe and I hope your power is back on.

We were without power for @11 hours. It was pretty strange. Heard reports of power poles down in bid numbers from friends and relatives.

From what I could gather my town wasn't hit nearly as hard as cities along Hwy. 30.

This storm game from nowhere. We were just getting ready to go for lunch when I stopped to quickly call my SIL. He has a close friend who is a weatherman. His friend texted my SIL to tell me to stay home! Boy what a lucky break.
