Multiple Fatalities Reported After Tornado Strikes Rural Iowa City
ai generated text
A destructive storm system swept across western Iowa, resulting in multiple fatalities and injuries. The city of Greenfield was particularly affected, with a tornado touching down shortly before 5 p.m. Local emergency responders quickly initiated search and rescue operations, and at least four medical airlift flights were conducted from the city's lumberyard. While some sources report that buildings were destroyed and vehicles overturned, others provide more specific details on the extent of the damage.
Two tornado warnings for the Des Moines metro with both warnings having observed tornadoes. Seek shelter.
Record or near-record warm overnight temperatures will provide little to no relief to those without adequate or reliable cooling.
Debris was lifted thousands of feet in the air and ended up falling to the ground several counties away from Greenfield. That's evidence of just how intense and deadly this tornado was.
