fr wtf

[@TBA_EAS]

to the point where des moines get double headers

[@L30GH05TDUD3]

@Gelatin As far as my knowledge about tornadoes go, there are considerable factors taken place for a tornado to form and increase intensity. This includes wind, humidity, storm development and duration, climate tho im not so sure about that and the geographic location. Plains are most likely to have more destructive tornadoes than places with higher and more bumpy terrain. But im no weather expert so take my word with a grain of salt.

@@chrislarson5507 is the bed heavier than a car? If that's your best option then anything is better than nothing but if you can get to a lower level please do. This is a potentially devastating one for the des moines area.

@@chrislarson5507 ah I see. I don't see the original for some reason anymore but I had understood it as this is where you were taking shelter and that you had brought your cats with you. Either way, my hope is you and your cats are and remain safe with the severe weather.
