Really intensifying.

Always surreal (and horrifying) to see such a small target get hit head on; the debris fallout swath on CC definitely reminiscent of other very historic tornadoes since the dawn of dual-pol. Interesting how somewhat messy storm mode didn't necessarily preclude a violent long track tornado. Fingers crossed the casualty count remains as low as possible

Omaha taking over for DMX, they took shelter. Strong rotation near the radar site.

Spring Hill couplet is gone.

Greenfield before and after. I want to cry.

looks like a tornado might have gone very close to the Des Moines radar

Tornado warnings all over the metro and KCCI keeps stating the tornado threat is not as high as earlier. Don't know if I would keep stating that, right, wrong or indifferent.

Yep. That's a damaging tornado in progress northwest of Ankeny.

Yikes.
