The big picture: One of multiple tornadoes that hit Iowa — in Greenfield, Adair County — resulted in multiple fatalities and injuries, State Patrol Sgt. Alex Dinkla said at a Tuesday night briefing.
• As officials in Iowa responded to the destruction in Greenfield and other places including Carbon, Red Oak, Corning and Villisca, the storm system moved east — leaving many without power.
• The Greenfield tornado tore bark off trees, tossed cars and piled them like pancakes while sweeping homes off their foundations — the hallmark signs of a particularly intense tornado of at least EF-4 intensity.
• Greenfield, fortunately, had ample warning that a tornado was coming, according to Jonathan Erdman of The Weather Channel.
Don't mourn, organize.

Currently, emergency crews have just declared a mass casualty event after a large, violent tornado passed through Interstate 35 in Valley View, Texas as Police scanners are reporting that at least 150 people are trapped inside a shell truck stop gas station with a collapsed roof. Multiple injuries are being reported, and there is major damage, with numerous semi-trucks along with other vehicles being flipped over. Power lines are down, and debris is scattered across the highway, making rescue efforts challenging. Emergency services from neighboring towns are being dispatched to assist. This situation is still developing, and residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid the affected area.
