Calm before the storm‼️

"Isn't it fascinating how the calm before the storm can feel almost eerie, as if nature is holding its breath before unleashing its wildest fury?"

I live in Iowa. This same storm system hit Des Moines just a few hours Pryor. Des Moines was hit with a tornado that ended up making Des Moines look like a war zone.
