A LSR of 106 mph winds at a PWS near LeGrand in Marshall Co., Iowa. That came from NWSchat. (edited)
Earlier the KDMX radar N of #DesMoines found some of the highest velocity data I have ever seen in a #Derecho.
These values were higher than any velocity data seen w/ #Isaias last week. A very damaging & dangerous wind storm moving through Iowa.

this reminds me alot of the eastern nebraska derecho of 2017. 132mph ASOS wind recorded. several tornadoes up to EF3 spawned
Maybe I'd think different if I was a decades experienced chaser, but you'd have to be constantly driving east never stopping, and it still might be gaining on you

Man we had a good corn crop this year
Royce Sheibal (Papillion,NE)10-Aug-20 01:42 PM
Time to buy corn shares. Half the corn in the US is under that watch or already hit

Gonna get flattened with this

It’s definitely in the corn belt but half the corn is being a little over zealous lol.
The Corn Belt is a region of the Midwestern United States that, since the 1850s, has dominated corn production in the United States. In the United States, "corn" is the common word for "maize". More generally, the concept of the "Corn Belt" connotes the area of the Midwest dom...

30+ sig severe wind prelim reports already. Will be 100+ in the final database. In the top 3 of derechoes I've worked in real-time during 15 years at @NWSSPC.
More CRAZY pictures coming in from yesterday. If Jason Mikkelsen wants to use his patio chair, he may have to do some creative gymnastics

Corn losses will be huge
Mind you, prices had dropped like a rock cus covid. So it might help other farmers
Pat Kepka (Russell Co. KS)11-Aug-20 01:08 PM
Really depends if they snapped or just got laid over. There will be losses regardless but if it’s just laid over, it won’t be as much as a loss
Prelim info from survey crew found damage to buildings and trees in N IL just across the WI state line consistent with a low end EF-1 tornado. The tornado continued NE into the Camp Lake area of Kenosha Co. where damage to trees was observed consistent with an EF-0 tornado. #...
Aimee sent us this picture from Whispering Pines Court SW in Cedar Rapids. It appears to be an airplane wing lodged into the garage of a homeowner. The people inside are fine! We hope you are as well. Share your photos with us: https://t.co/T0PYzr6WbO
