Jim "Ham on a Bike"
Checked into the #iowacityamateurradioclub 2 meter #amateurradio #hamradio #johnsoncountyskywarnnet from top floor of University of Iowa Healthcare Hospital during a #tornadowarning. I've got a full view from the west and east. CERTIFIED #skywarnspotter

@N4JAW If you're on the top floor of anything during a tornado warning, you certainly should be certified, Jim 😳

@weezmgk I was lucky to have the stairwell next to the elevator 3 feet away to duck into. Always have several escape plans during an emergency weather event.

@N4JAW oh hell yes. I'm also WD9GYO and was a tornado spotter in Indpls. Once had an EF4 take off the top story of an apartment bldg while I was in the downstairs bathroom with a mattress over my head. It's no fun, Jim!
