Iowa Tornado


This past Saturday night there was some severe weather in the state of Iowa. It was mainly over the central and eastern side of the state. Parkersburg, a small town, was hit severely with a mile wide tornado. It wiped out a huge part of the community and it is so sad to see the destruction. This tornado lifted and landed about 4 times before it quit. It affected other areas also.
There were fatalities because of this horrific tornado. Seven people lost their lives. Some of them lost their lives because they were in their basement where they thought they were safe but they were not because their house fell in on them. How horrible to have to deal with all of this. One day you have a home and a town and the next it looks like a bomb went off. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of these people.
