Haha, yes. It has been pretty busy here this year, although most of it has been in western or central Iowa this year. Several days of large tornado outbreaks, I believe we had 3 F3 rated tornadoes, 2 of them on the same day, as well as several F2's. A town in north central Iowa had every building damaged when an F3 tornado came through, Bradgate, IA.
