A deadly tornado wiped out four members of the same family on Saturday – leaving a young boy without his dad, sister or toddler brother.
“This is, I think, the worst anyone has seen in quite a long time,” said Diogenes Ayala, Madison County Emergency Management Director.In total, seven people have died as a result of the storm.There was significant damage reported south and east of Chariton and damage was also reported in Red Haw State Park.The Iowa tornado missed the city of Winterset, with most of the damage occurring in rural areas, reports indicate.
“Let people that are living there, let them clean up, give them some space. This is pretty devastating for our community,” Ayala said. “Give people time to heal. Keep our community in your prayers tonight.”Anyone looking to volunteer to assist with clean up in Winterset can call the Madison County Chamber of Commerce at 462-1185.
If you are aware of someone who is missing or who has not been accounted for, you can call Madison County officials at 462-3575 extension 8.Share this article:
