Prayers up for all.

Things are getting a little exciting up here in Iowa again as well. And more moving in out of Nebraska.

I think I’m going to have to stay up a lot later than I intended...

Gosh, these babies are moving fast up here.

Just had a pretty intense cell pass just a couple miles to the west while another cell was moving past just a couple miles to the east. Went right around us on both sides.

Near Woodward, OK as well. OKC Channel 9 live coverage just talking about apartment complex that’s been hit/destroyed, theater hit as well, natural gas smell.

I’d been back on earlier, but the power was out for several hours. I’m in Haysville. It missed us by about 2 miles. We aren’t far from Oaklawn which seems to have got the worst of it. A close call for us. Prayers to all affected.

Looks like the Creston, Iowa hospital was hit tonight.

http://www.kcci.com/news/central-iowa/Creston-hospital-hit-by-possible-tornado/-/9357080/10820290/-/emdn5xz/-/index.html

CRESTON, Iowa - A possible tornado damaged a hospital in Creston on Saturday night.

Authorities with the Creston Police Department said the damage was reported at the Greater Regional Medical Center about 7:30 p.m.

The extent of the damage is not yet known, but a nursing home near the hospital also sustained damage.

Creston Mayor Warren Woods said power lines are down all over Creston, and much of the city is without electricity.

At Southwest Community College, roof damage was found on dormitories, and there were other reports of damage there.

Police said there were reports of injuries.

If the general direction of the storm holds and it holds together, it looks like it’s headed just north of the storm that just hit Wichita.

Woodward, Oklahoma HIT HARD.
Multiple reports that Tornado sirens DID NOT go off.

At night, that could be very, very bad.
