In the United States, a huge tornado devastated a town in the state of Iowa. A state of emergency was declared. Residents were able to film the phenomenon.
It only took a few minutes for the tornado to devastate a small town in Iowa (United States). The swirling, devastating winds were filmed by a resident. “It’s the biggest tornado I’ve ever seen, especially this close,” the man wonders. Even the wind turbines did not resist. On the highway, the violence of the blast overturned trucks. The 2,000 residents of Greenfield discovered their town devastated. “There’s nothing left. We can only guess that there was a house here,” deplores a woman.
Many took refuge in basements during the worst of the storm. The tornado was deadly, according to authorities. However, it is currently impossible to draw up a precise assessment. Already in April, another tornado had killed one person in the region. A state of emergency has been declared in 15 counties in Iowa, the governor is expected to visit this Wednesday, May 22.
