It has been going since last night in Nebraska and Colorado so it has been one for a bit already.
We had strong winds here in Bloomfield, but no trees down, I had 1.4 inches in my gauge, really the first measurable rain we have had in at least 3 weeks.
Says 85% chance of rain for us and chance of flash flooding. I bet we get nothing. Glad to be wrong but everything seems to be way to the south.
Edit, now 30% chance, we'll get nothing.
That is some impressive bowing on radar rolling through Illinois right now.
Have some family down in C-Ville. They had some big mature trees blown right out from its roots.
Out our backyard in late April:

Can confirm. Springfield Illinois and surrounding communities all declared state of emergency. Lots of people with damage and without power.
I lost the lid to my garbage can.
Yep. A substation turned into a fireball after presumably being struck by lightning. I have a couple friends without power. Lots of trees down. I've only seen one cornfield with minor wind damage, but there's probably more of that too.
Weather is depressing. Getting a couple day break from smoke but it looks like it's going to be an all summer thing.
And dry dry dry. Going to end June a at miniscule .93" of rain for Minneapolis. Had only 1.62" in May. Mean of the two months would be a little over 8". Looking just like last year. For April/May/June rain has been only 43% of mean.

Forecast is looking good for drought relief. Things east of Des Moines in central Iowa are looking good.
Yellow just can't get all that excited...
Looks like someone wants to pee on the Florida panhandle or teabag Texas. I'm fine with that.
