GREENFIELD, Iowa — Multiple people were killed when a tornado tore through Greenfield and left a wide swath of obliterated homes, crumpled cars and splintered trees, while outside the small town, massive wind turbines were buckled and twisted to the ground by the howling winds.

After devastating the town of 2,000 residents, the storms moved eastward to pummel parts of Illinois and Wisconsin, knocking out power to more than 130,000 customers in the two states.Greenfield's hospital was among the buildings that were damaged in the town, which meant that at least a dozen people who were hurt had to be taken to facilities elsewhere, according to Iowa State Patrol Sgt. Alex Dinkla.

'I could hear this roaring, like the proverbial freight train, and then it was just done,' she said.Camille Blair said the Greenfield Chamber of Commerce office where she works closed around 2 p.m. ahead of the storm.'I can see from my house it kind of went in a straight line down the road,' she said of the tornado.Gov. Kim Reynolds said she planned to visit Greenfield on Wednesday morning.
