That was scary.

I sure hope Hide Hunter is alright. Within the last 1/2 hour we had 5 tornados on the ground at one time

in a 25 mile radius of here. One passed just south of me by about a mile and a half. We got some 2"

hail and I have a large tree down in my front yard. Ihope that is all the damage. I could actually hear the

signature freight train sound of the twister. I won't even try to go out and look at the car until morning.

 

I don't really know where hide hunter lives but it is somewhere just south of me I think. I hope it is

far enough away that the tornado split the uprights and went between us.

 

I don't have any fishing reports from here. The bait fisherman are taking some crappies and the

jig fishermen some walleyes down on the Mississippi. I wanted to be down there and try for some stripers

but hurt my back and haven't even been able to leave the house. when it heals I need a little operation that

will put a crimp in my fishing for at least another 4 weeks.

 

And me with two virgin fly rods never been out. Every day all I can think is that I gotta go fishing. :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

I think I just might have to find a kiddie dock and try for bluegills. All of the streams and rivers here will

be well above flood stage for a while so thats that. Any way I am just rambling. If you are in the path of this storm please take it seriously and be well.

 

Tight lines

Glad to hear you are alright. I've been up since a SEVERE thunderstorm complete with hail came rolling through just after 3.

Hoping things have settled in your area, how is everyone doing?

Whew - looks like you folks had your hands full up there FlyGuy. See you had a fatality in the area. Whole thing went just north of us then dropped east - so - We had it all around us but it missed.

 

 

Hope everyone's well.

Everything here is ok. That fatality was here in Muscatine county but about 10 miles away. I have a downed tree to clean up and my old car got some hail damage. A lot of others had a lot worse. I was down at the river today and didn't see a single fishing boat. It will probably be at or above flood stage for some time now.

But there will still be pond fishing.

 

 

Good luck and tight lines to all.
