Midwest Suffers Hits from Deadly Tornadoes

The damage assessment continues from tornadoes that hit the upper Midwest. At least eight people died in Iowa and Minnesota - the small town of Parkersburg, Iowa, about 80 miles northeast of Des Moines, was the hardest hit. A high school and numerous homes are no longer standing.

More people may have died, if the warning sirens hadn't sounded early, officials say.
