Weather Reports Say That Iowa Is Likely To Get Hit By A "Land Hurricane" Tonight So I Guess See Ya Later?

Yahoo!- According to the National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Okla., the severe weather outbreak is expected to stretch from southern South Dakota through Nebraska, Kansas, southern Iowa, northern Missouri and west-central Illinois.”It’s called a land hurricane, and one could develop tonight across the Plains,” CBS Chicago’s Megan Glaros tweeted. According to Accuweather.com, the storms will be accompanied by heavy rain (2 to 4 inches) that could cause flash flooding in some areas.

Wait, what?  What in the holy hell is a land hurricane?  That’s actually a thing?  I’ve lived here for 25 years and never has the word “land” been paired with the word “hurricane” to form whatever hellacious type of storm that is.  Never.  Not once.  All I know is it sounds fucking terrifying.  Laughing at hurricanes is, or at least it was, one of the joys of living in the Midwest.  We see those things crash into the gulf states on a regular basis and all we do is chuckle.  Chuckling at the fact that those blasted things can’t reach us.  Sure, we get horrific tornadoes from time to time that rip apart entire towns in a matter of seconds but that’s expected.  Comes with the territory.  But land hurricanes?  That’s a new one.  So I guess this might be see ya later?

Seriously though, stay safe people.  And when I say “stay safe” I’m not sure what that entails because it’s a fucking land hurricane and I still don’t know what it is.
