Here’s a first look at the damage I’m seeing in downtown Cedar Rapids after a MAJOR storm came through. I’ve never seen winds like that. So far I have no heard of any injuries. @KWWL pic.twitter.com/IAYhc1LJTj

More damage from downtown. Police say damage is widespread through the city. I’m out of power here and tweeting from my car, a good place to charge devices If you have the gas. How’s everyone doing? pic.twitter.com/jZVgnxwTdo
