Five people dead and at least 35 injured as tornadoes rip through Iowa

Obliterated homes, splintered trees and crumpled cars were seen in the path of the twister about 25 miles from Greenfield

Five people died and at least 35 were hurt as powerful tornadoes ripped through Iowa Tuesday, with one carving a path of destruction through the town of Greenfield, officials said.

The Iowa department of public safety said Wednesday that four people had been killed in the Greenfield area. Officials did not release the names of those killed in the storm because they were still notifying relatives.
