A tornado devastated a good portion the small US town of Greenfield, killing multiple people and leaving at least a dozen injured.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has signed a disaster emergency proclamation for 15 counties in response to the extreme weather. This includes Adair County, which covers Greenfield.

The town is home to around 2,000 people and lies 55 miles (88.5 kilometers) southwest of Des Moines.

Its hospital was one of the buildings that sustained the worst damage, and injured people had to be taken to facilities elsewhere.

  3. There will be reports of major events heading towards the End as recorded in your Bibles. Time to get right with God thru our Lord Jesus Christ.

  5. Knew "climate" had to be thrown in with zero evidence as the numbers only went up cause radar tech got much better at finding and storm spotters became a thing in the late 90s but know there's a lot of spotters going for that internet fame.

  6. Our life is not down here, soon is the end of this earth and soon Jesus will be our king, no more natural disasters, let us accept the only one who tell us things to happen!

  7. Ukraine is softening Russia in Crimea. Russia has no answer for ATACMS and it still arrests its competent generals. Russia is in free fall. No one can prop it up not even China

  13. As an Iowa native, this one is a bit unusual. We get tornadoes all the time, towns do get hit, but deaths are pretty rare. Nobody has to stop and think when the tornado siren sounds, you head for the basement or an interior hallway if you're unlucky enough to not have a basement. The wind speed means this was an EF4, the amount of damage makes me think it was a slow mover. 🙁 for those who did not survive.
