The drought seems over here in NE Iowa. River levels went up nicely and all the rain has filled the lake up nicely where I live. I was worried the low water levels would keep me from putting the pontoon in the water, but it’s good to go now.

Nothing like getting the pontoon back in the water after a dry spell. Bet it's a huge relief to see those levels back up.

First tornado watch of the day issued for SW Minnesota.

Twin cities. No rain. No lighting.

Winnebago/Mapleton/Mankato under the gun now.

Weird. We have both of those down here.

Northern Iowa has had a few tornado warnings so far. The line must be powerful - the wind here is blowing straight into it at about 45mph.

Been zero reports of tornadoes today. Surprising.
