"KB   You have one heck of a lot of yard to keep up"

I like that saying tsk...yup I do, and that's only the front yard..the back is bigger. Gardening is good for the soul.

windmills fall over like matchsticks.

BL - yep thanks just torrents of rain..

My work at gardening makes looking out at my neighbors back yard that much worse.....

this is my view from my upper deck and dining room: That's invasive garlic mustard lining her chain link fence. On my side it's full of creeping charlie...Both invade everyone else's yard so must stay on top of it almost daily. The MN Dept of Ag would not be happy.

Home safe. Had to dodge some flooding on the freeway and it was difficult to hear Miss Google maps at times, the rain was so hard.

Here is a drone video from Brett Adair of the damage at Greenfield, IA today...

5-21-2024 Greenfield, IA Horrific tornado damage   -   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ew9mlhlGO9E

MPMom had a close encounter this afternoon - tornado lifted as it approached her town.

It appears that most of the storms have gone to our NE now, with current warning in Illinois and Wisconsin.
SE Iowa - Grew up within 40 miles of Decorah

If you watch Reed's video you will see multiple vortices in the main funnel....amazing. I couldn't count all of them.

KB - This is the second time this season that I have seen the multiple vortices tornado - both in SW Iowa, the other was the Minden tornado - 60 miles apart for locations.
This is not a common type of tornado -
The Video by Reed was near Preston, I think it was the same storm cell for Greenfield.  I had never seen the power windmills get damaged before by a storm.

April was already a rough month for Tornadoes in Iowa.
59 preliminarily per the SPC.

Here are a few maps of what Iowa averages look like:

It’s not their home, it’s just a swarm and they are looking for a home

Good Morning Beakers!



Lani, the storm was scary when it went through and then the sun came out! The town of Greenfield was hit bad, just 54 miles SW of here... They won't give out the death total yet. Love the kitties watching the rain, and love those fluffy Albies!

Drone views of Greenfield:

Phyl, Hummers drinking with the bees! Thanks for the info on the baby bluebirds, I think it would be fascinating to watch them! Mama and Papa must be used to you snapping pics! OMG, that sunflower with the bee swarm on it!  Thanks for the Moon links!

oldguy, that video of Greenfield, such devastation! Even worse than the one that hit Minden on 5/7.

kb, love the woodwork in the Swedish Institute! You just need to stop looking at your neighbor's yard!

Lisa, so you have an ice cube loving cat too!  Sam is the weird sleeper, snapped this one of him last night:


E4E, where do the days, weeks, months and years go?
