Storm hits Iowa with 100 mph wind, causes blackout
| Quote From Source: |
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - A line of thunderstorms battered Iowa with winds of up to 100 mph early Monday, knocking down trees and power lines and blacking out more than 200,000 homes and businesses.
No injuries were reported, and there were only a few reports of structural damage, including a roof torn off a small building at the state prison for women in Mitchellville near Des Moines.
The storms didn't produce a lot of rain, but a wind speed of 100 mph was reported at Dawson, a town of some 150 people about 30 miles northwest of Des Moines, the National Weather Service said.
By late Monday morning the storm system had crossed Illinois into Indiana, where the weather service posted severe thunderstorm warning for northern counties.

They should take the warning labels off of everything and let stupidity sort itself out.
