Midwest Storm Leaves Destruction and One Fatality in Fort Wayne
A derecho swept from Nebraska through Iowa to Wisconsin and Illinois, killing a Fort Wayne woman trapped in a toppled mobile home while a five year old boy survived. Power outages hit Iowa with about 210000 customers in Iowa and 150000 in Iowa and 50000 in the Quad Cities area facing outages, and 4200 Wisconsin WE Energies customers without power. Authorities assessed widespread damage to roofs, downed trees, and agricultural losses across the region as utilities and public agencies coordinate repairs and safety efforts.
