I'm in Iowa City, which is about 20 miles south of Cedar Rapids. We had winds around 80 mph and I had a few medium branches down in the yard and part of the wooden fence down. So not bad here compared to a few miles north. Only lost power here for about a half hour, though parts of town were out for 4 or 5 days. I didn't have internet/cable for 8 or 9 days. Saw plenty of reports about it on national news and of course local news was nothing but. Of note on this forum, the first person reported killed was a bicyclist caught out on a wooded trail. Crushed by a falling tree.
