Violent storms kill 8 in Iowa and Minnesota By HENRY C. JACKSON, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 2 minutes ago Violent storms kill 8 in Iowa and Minnesota - Yahoo! News DES MOINES, Iowa - Powerful storms packing large hail, heavy rain and tornadoes made for a deadly Memorial Day weekend across the nation's midsection, killing at least seven people in Iowa and a 2-year-old child in Minnesota. Iowa Homeland Security administrator Dave Miller said seven people were killed Sunday by a tornado in northeast Iowa — five from Parkersburg, a town of about 1,000 some 80 miles northeast of Des Moines — and two from nearby New Hartford. At least 50 injuries were reported. "It's been a long time since we've had those kinds of injuries and deaths reported," Miller said. Witnesses reported parts of Parkersburg — particularly the town's south side — were reduced to rubble, including most of the town's high school. The Des Moines area had heavy rain and lightning Sunday night with wind gusts of 70 mph. Warning sirens sounded early enough to give residents time to seek shelter, said Parkersburg Mayor Bob Haylock. "Without that, we would have a tremendous amount of injuries and loss of life," Haylock said. "People were down in their basements and waiting it out."
