More in News:
Tornadoes ripped through central Iowa on Saturday, leaving at least seven dead, including two children.
The state’s deadliest storm in over a decade, according to officials, downed trees and power lines, and damaged homes. The State Department of Natural Resources reported one person dead in an RV parked in a campground at Red Haw State Park in Chariton, Iowa.
Four others were injured and six others were killed in Madison County when a tornado touched down in Winterset, just outside Des Moines. The storms left about 10,000 customers without power at one point on Saturday, officials said. The storm is the deadliest since 2008, when a tornado killed 9 people in Parkersburg.
Governor Kim Reynolds issued a disaster proclamation for Madison County on Saturday. The proclamation “allows state resources to be utilized in Madison County to assist with response and recovery efforts.”
