It’s much worse.

This past Sunday a Tornado ripped across the Midwest, doing probably the most damage in Iowa and causing the most fatalities in Parkersburg. Luckily we only dealt with high winds and hail at our house, as most of the storm ended up a few miles further to the north. I have some family in Dunkerton that had some landscape damage to deal with and my parents took some pictures when they went out there.

There’s also a community group for Parkersburg on Facebook with several more photos showing what they’ve had to deal with as far as home and business damage. Aplinton-Parkersburg will not be finishing what would have been their final week of school this week. You can check out that support group with more information here.
