Iowa tornado kills ‘multiple’ people in small town reduced to rubble

Iowa, (SONNA) – A powerful tornado ripped through a small Iowa town on Tuesday, killing multiple people and leaving at least a dozen injured, authorities said.
Images from the town of Greenfield show a path of utter destruction, with homes reduced to splinters, debris strewn everywhere and several large wind turbines toppled.
“This tornado has devastated a good portion of this town,” said Sgt. Alex Dinkla, a spokesperson with the Iowa State Patrol, during an evening press conference in Greenfield.
“We can confirm there have been multiple fatalities with this tornado.”
Dinkla did not provide a death toll, but said it may not be before Wednesday that figures could be provided.
At least a dozen people in Greenfield, a town of about 2,000 people, were injured in the twister, Dinkla said. Because the local hospital sustained damage in the storm, those people had to be transferred to facilities in nearby towns.
