Today two cities in our area will start picking up damage after last nights rounds of Severe Weather. Thurman, Iowa is 90% totaled with many homes damaged and unlivable. But, I am very fortunate to tell you that no body was injured or hurt as of 9:30AM this morning.
Another area with damage is Creston. The hospital in Creston has been destroyed completely by last nights storms. Again, fortunately, no body was injured in this situation either. We have also been told that the Middle School and High School in Creston were destroyed as well. Good news however, work is already beginning to rebuild.
