GREENFIELD, Iowa — Officials said multiple people were killed Tuesday when a tornado ripped through a small town in Iowa, decimating homes and damaging businesses.
The tornado destroyed much of the town of 2,000 located around 55 miles southwest of Des Moines, during a day that saw multiple tornadoes, giant hail and heavy rain in several states. “But everyone else is not so much, like my brother Cody, his house just got wiped,” Paxton said. “Then you see all these people out here helping each other. … Everything’s going to be fine because we have each other, but it’s just going to be really, really rough. It is a mess.”
Mary Long, the owner of Long’s Market in downtown Greenfield, said she rode out the storm at her business in the community’s historic town square, which largely escaped damage. Long said there appeared to be widespread damage on the east and south sides of town.Camille Blair said the Greenfield Chamber of Commerce office where she works closed around 2 p.m. ahead of the storm.Gov. Kim Reynolds said she planned to visit Greenfield on Wednesday morning.
The storms and tornado warnings moved into Wisconsin Tuesday evening and night, including a warning for the capital, Madison.
