Tornadoes In Lowa Killed Seven People, Raesulting In A Million Disaster In The United States

More than 75 million people from Atlanta to Philadelphia were threatened by severe storms on Monday, just days after a horrific tornado outbreak in Iowa killed seven people, including an EF-4 twister.

According to CNN meteorologist Haley Brink, other cities that could see severe weather include Washington, DC, and Baltimore. The main threats include isolated tornadoes and damaging winds.

Monday's storms will bring heavy rain, especially throughout the Ohio River Valley, with rainfall rates of one to two inches per hour possible, she said. Flood warnings have been issued for sections of Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, and West Virginia, and the area's soil has already been soaked by torrential rains over the last two weeks.

Any extra rain, according to Brink, will exacerbate the current river flooding.

As broad swaths of the country prepare for the possibility of additional severe weather, recovery efforts in Iowa continue, where several tornadoes struck near Des Moines on Saturday, killing seven people, two of whom were children, and destroying scores of homes.

Residents in Madison County, where Emergency Management Director Diogenes Ayala reported six people were killed, may have had less time to prepare and find shelter due to the delayed broadcast of tornado warnings sent by the local National Weather Service.

Ayala revealed at a press briefing in Winterset on Sunday afternoon that the oldest victim was 72 years old and the youngest was two years old. He had previously stated that there were two children under the age of five.
