A photogenic, yet scary, storm.

That Glenwood IA tornado was about 6mi SE of me. Our family was at the gym--it sent everyone into the bathrooms/locker rooms.

In my Opinion, I really think some of these watches should be PDS this is a very dangerous situation in many areas.

Yeah there were a couple that in the end warranted PDS but the environment isn't fully conducive for development (hard to believe, this is all happening with the environment at 50% of potential). Tomorrow we'll surely see some PDS watches.
