At least seven people are dead, two of them children younger than 5, after multiple tornadoes swept across central and southwest Iowa overnight, officials said Sunday morning.
One person living inside a destroyed camper was also killed in rural Lucas County, county officials confirmed Sunday.
“This is the worst anyone has seen in quite a long time,” Ayala said during a predawn news conference Sunday. “This will be impactful for many years to come.” Initial interrogation of photos and videos from around Winterset suggests at least EF3 tornado damage occurred late Saturday afternoon. NWS survey teams will be out Sunday to thoroughly investigate the damage and further assess a potential rating.Violent winds ripped through an area along Carver Road, roughly three miles outside Winterset. Ayala estimated 20 to 30 homes on both sides of the road were destroyed with the damage localized outside the city.
