Multiple people died and others were injured after a tornado tore through the Iowa town of Greenfield on Tuesday, a state police official said.

“This tornado has devastated a good portion of this town and community," Iowa State Police Sgt. Alex Dinkla told reporters after the deadly storm.

Dinkla said that “we do have confirmed fatalities,” but he did not have a number. At least a dozen people were transported to hospitals, he said.

The tornado hit Greenfield, a town of about 2,000 around 40 miles southwest of Des Moines, on a day in which there were tornado threats across Iowa and neighboring states.
