874 days later, we finally came home. ❤️

Last night was about so much more than pushing a fire truck into a station. ❤️🚒

On May 21, 2024, a tornado took our fire station from us, leaving behind damage, uncertainty, and a long road to rebuilding. Since that day, we’ve continued to show up, answer calls, and serve our community, even without the place we once called home.

Last night, we pushed our first truck into our new station. A simple tradition, but one that carried a lot of meaning for us. It represented the end of a long chapter, the beginning of a new one, and a reminder of everything it took to get here.

There were a lot of emotions behind those doors last night. We remembered what we lost, thought about how far we’ve come, and felt grateful for the people who stood beside us along the way.

To our community, thank you for standing behind us. Your support, generosity, encouragement, and patience throughout this journey have meant more than words can express. You helped us get to this moment, and we will never forget it.

A fire station is more than a building, and a fire truck is more than a piece of equipment. They represent a team, a family, and a promise to be there when our community needs us.

May 21, 2024, changed a lot for us, but it never changed our commitment to this community.

Last night, we finally came home. ❤️🚒

We are incredibly grateful to have a place to call home again, and we look forward to serving our community from our new station for many years to come. Here’s to a new chapter, new memories, and continuing to be there for the people who have always been there for us.

**OUTDATED POST**

⚠️ SEVERE WEATHER WATCH POSSIBLE — SOUTHWEST IOWA

The Storm Prediction Center says the potential for severe thunderstorms will increase through late this afternoon and evening across eastern Nebraska into western Iowa. There is currently a 60% chance that a Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado Watch will be needed.

Storms that develop could be capable of damaging wind gusts of 65–80 mph and large hail between 1.00–1.75 inches in diameter. A tornado or two will also be possible, especially if storms can remain more isolated and become surface-based.

The greatest concern in Iowa is currently across southwest and portions of western Iowa, while uncertainty increases farther north toward and north of the I-80 corridor due to cooler temperatures near the surface.

The environment is becoming increasingly favorable for severe storms as instability builds northward. A watch could be issued within the next 1–2 hours (by 5 to 6PM).

Stay weather aware through this evening and make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings. We’ll continue to provide updates as storms develop.

🌪️ TORNADO THREAT LATE AFTERNOON MONDAY

The tornado threat is something we’ll be watching closely across portions of western and central Iowa later this afternoon and evening.

The environment later today could become favorable for rotating thunderstorms, with strong wind shear and increasing instability. If storms can become established and remain discrete, a few tornadoes will be possible as they move from eastern Nebraska into western Iowa.

⚠️ There is still uncertainty. Morning storms and cloud cover could limit instability, and storms may quickly merge into clusters or a line. However, if a sustained surface-based supercell develops, the environment could support a stronger tornado.

The greatest concern appears to be during the first few hours after storms develop later this afternoon and evening, when storms may have the best opportunity to remain discrete.

Large hail and damaging winds are also possible, along with very heavy rainfall and a flash flooding threat.

Make sure you have multiple ways to receive warnings today. We’ll be monitoring the latest data and will provide updates as the threat evolves.

Some of your fire department volunteers spent a few hours this morning training on grain bin rescue. Special thanks to PRI for coming out today and providing the training. Also a special thanks to Adair County Ambulance, Orient Fire Department, and Bridgewater Fire Department for participating.

⚠️ TORNADO RISK ADDED FOR SOUTHERN IOWA ⚠️

In its midday Friday update, the Storm Prediction Center has added a 5% tornado probability across portions of southern Iowa for this afternoon and evening. The overall severe weather risk remains a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) across portions of the state, with damaging winds, large hail, and a few tornadoes possible.

The biggest question continues to be how much the atmosphere can recover following this morning’s storms and widespread cloud cover. A boundary is expected to develop somewhere across southern Iowa or near the Iowa/Missouri border, and areas along and south of that boundary could become moderately to strongly unstable by late afternoon.

Thunderstorms are expected to redevelop later this afternoon into the evening, and there will be enough wind shear for organized storms and potentially some initial supercells. The SPC notes that enhanced low-level winds near the boundary could support the tornado threat, particularly across southern Iowa. Damaging winds will also be a concern as storms potentially grow into bowing segments this evening.

Where that boundary ultimately sets up will be important, so we’ll be watching trends closely through the afternoon.

⚠️ SEVERE OUTLOOK THURSDAY EARLY MORNING ⚠️

If this forecast sounds familiar, that's because it is. The same “Ring of Fire” weather pattern we've been stuck in the last couple of nights continues tonight, and another complex of thunderstorms is expected to roll into Iowa early Thursday morning.

The Storm Prediction Center has a Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) across western Iowa, surrounded by a Marginal Risk (Level 1 of 5) covering a large portion of the rest of the state.

Storms are expected to initially develop farther west across the High Plains this afternoon and evening. As we get into tonight, those storms should merge into one or more larger clusters and race east across Nebraska before reaching western Iowa early Thursday morning (after 3AM).

Damaging winds will be the primary severe weather threat in western Iowa. As the storms continue east across Iowa Thursday morning, they will be moving farther away from the environment most favorable for widespread severe weather. However, there should still be plenty of moisture and instability around for portions of the complex to remain strong or severe. Isolated damaging wind gusts will remain possible farther east, which is why the marginal risk extends across a large portion of the state.

We'll be keeping a close eye on how storms develop to our west later tonight and watching how the complex evolves as it approaches Iowa. Be sure to check back with our pages tonight and early Thursday morning for the latest updates as we fine-tune the timing and threat.
