A tornado devastated a good portion the small US town of Greenfield, killing multiple people and leaving at least a dozen injured.
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has signed a disaster emergency proclamation for 15 counties in response to the extreme weather. This includes Adair County, which covers Greenfield.
The town is home to around 2,000 people and lies 55 miles (88.5 kilometers) southwest of Des Moines.
Its hospital was one of the buildings that sustained the worst damage, and injured people had to be taken to facilities elsewhere.
