Nice town. Was there about 20 years ago.
County seat for Adair County.
An Internet storm chaser is verifying one fatality so far. Someone was in a truck and the tornado hit it and ejected ‘em from it. Not sure where though.
Tornadoes in the Des Moines area too.
I have been following this all afternoon. It looks like that entire town was flattened. The tornado hit it dead on, and was about as wide as the entire town. And it blew through at about 55mph. It was over in a few minutes…..
It’s breathtaking.
We’re gonna get it here in Northern Illinois in an hour or two.
