US authorities confirm that “several deaths” occurred as a result of several tornadoes passing through the state of Iowa

On Tuesday, US authorities confirmed that there were “several deaths” and “at least ten injuries” due to strong storms that struck Iowa, which gave way to several tornadoes that left more than 40,000 people without electricity and commercial establishments. “We can confirm that there were deaths due to this tornado,” said Sergeant Alex Dinkla, a spokesman for the Iowa State Patrol, referring to the town of Greenfield, which has a population of about 2,000 people. In addition, he reported that the hurricane “destroyed a large part” of the town and its surroundings, where emergency services are still continuing search and rescue operations, according to CBS News. “We just want to make sure that with our search efforts (…) we do our homework and make sure that we cover that area broadly. We have already done a lot of searches, but we want to make sure that we search even better.” “He added. The hurricanes even destroyed three wind turbines about 80 meters high. In addition, one of them was “on fire with black smoke coming out of it.”
