Tornado Warning UNL

Sign me up.

I got a truck and can go grab a chainsaw.

Big line of storms heading towards Des Moines. Crazy if Omaha and Des Moines get hit by major tornadoes the same day.

I’m in the deer creek neighborhood at the moment. Sounded like a huge explosion or something

Maybe a transformer blew up

Almost had to be. Not a whole lot out that way

If anyone here is affected and needs help please let us know. We could start a fund or see if we could get some guys down to help in any way.

My sister is good, her and her neighbors are helping each other board up their broken windows and cleaning up what they can. It's a newer neighborhood so not many trees.

Unfortunately some of her neighbors weren't so lucky -

This is crazy.
Lived in Oklahoma for the last moore tornado and this seems so much worse.

They have to cancel the game tomorrow right?

It truly is amazing how 50’ can make all the difference with weather. One house looks mostly untouched (though I’m sure there is damage), and one is completely gone.

My house is 2 miles away from where it hit in Elkhorn, and all I got here was some sprinkles. It didn’t even rain, no wind, not really anything. And then just complete destruction just down the road.

They're playing baseball in Haymarket right now. Cancelation seems unlikely to me. Would be a good opportunity to pass a donation plate for relief funds.

Confirmed tornado in West Des Moines.

These were just posted as well. Thoughts and prayers to everyone impacted

My daughter is taking shelter at her college now there

I got a truck a chainsaw and I can get a trailer

We’re supposed to get more rain tomorrow around 4. Gotta take the lady to the airport at like 5am and would run back to the hometown to get my polesaw, chainsaw and whatever chainsaw maintenance stuff we’d need. Still haven’t seen any organized volunteer stuff but I’m sure there will be something.

Another tornado in southeast Des Moines heading towards Carbondale and Pleasant Hill.

Pretty midwest video right here

There's an organized clean-up effort group meeting at the Menards in Elkhorn at 7 a.m.

There's another church group (Relevant Church) organizing one as well. I believe they're gathering at 8 a.m.

Good stuff. I’ll be back by then for sure.

I’m sure there will be something too, but right now they aren’t really letting anyone in at least the Elkhorn areas. Everything is blocked off.

I know many other areas outside of Elkhorn were obviously affected and will need help as well. So maybe those would be some areas to start. But I know some of the families that were hit here have had trouble just getting into their neighborhood so little has started as far as cleanup.

*see that Loud has some more details!

My mom just sent me this. She said it's supposed to be an area close to my sister's neighborhood in Elkhorn.
