Northwood, N.d.
A tornado destroyed a small trailer court, uprooted trees and damaged homes and businesses here, including a nursing home and grain elevator, officials and witnesses said. One man was killed and at least 17 people were injured."This town is a mess. This town is a disaster," said Kevin Dean, a spokesman for an emergency operations center that responders set up in the city fire hall. "There's virtually nothing ... that hasn't been damaged."
Some streets were impassable because of debris and power lines brought down by the storm, which hit the city just before 9 p.m. Sunday.
Dean said Monday that electricity had been cut off to the entire city as a precaution, although some buildings, including the Northwood Deaconess Health Center's hospital and nursing home, were getting power from generators.
