I agree. Along with the number of power outages… there could be millions of people without power with colder air coming in on the backside of this storm

On the cold note, news in Waterloo saying low of 29 tonight! Kind of a big drop from high of 73
Whole line is severe warned! ?per our local mets
Definitely an impressive line. I’m surprised with how many tornado warnings there are as well.

One thing is for sure. The central US has much more interesting weather than the southeast.
Sitting in Waterloo, screen door open, 67 degrees, line bowing out just to my West, good times
Semis blown over on Interstate 80, farm buildings flattened, local met said the storms are moving at 70 mph
Line is strengthening 
Just said line is moving at 100 mph now! ?????????

Yeah I mean thats just ridiculous and pretty unprecedented, like literally the only time you would normally see anything remotely like that is in a landfalling hurricane....
A positive thing to take away from that is that the winds aren't mixing down to the ground as much as they were earlier. Only 70 MPH gusts in that wording.
Dud here! Gusts to 25, looks like wind stopped as storm got here! 3 flashes of lightning , a clap of thunder, next!
