Iowa Tornadoes Leave Several Dead, Dozens Injured

Officials did not yet release the names of those killed

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.

The numbers released Wednesday bring the total number of deaths to five after authorities announced previously that a woman in a vehicle had been killed by a tornado about 25 miles from Greenfield. The Iowa Department of Public Safety said Wednesday it's believed that the number of people injured is likely higher.
