A spokeswoman for Iowa Homeland Security
says at least four people were killed and 40 injured when a tornado
struck a western Iowa Boy Scout camp.
Iowa Homeland Security spokeswoman Julie Tack says a search and
rescue team has been deployed to the camp near Little Sioux in
Harrison County. She says the camp is covered with debris and
downed trees after the tornado hit about 7 p.m. Wednesday.
Tack says there were 93 campers and 25 staff members at the
camp. The campers were between 13 and 18 years old and were
attending a leadership training camp.
"They were considered some of the best in the area," Tack
said.
At least 40 people who were injured in the storm were being
taken to area hospitals.
