THERE. MILLS HEY, SYLVIA AND TARA. SO, WELL, PEOPLE HERE ARE EXHAUSTED BOTH EMOTIONALLY AND PHYSICALLY. THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING NONSTOP TO TRY AND CLEAN UP ALL OF THIS MESS, AND IT IS PRETTY HOT OUT HERE. THE SUN IS A BEAMING DOWN. SO THIS IS SOME HARD, LONG WORK THAT THESE PEOPLE ARE REALLY TRYING TO DO RIGHT HERE. BUT EVERYONE I'VE SPOKEN TO HAS TOLD ME THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO DIG THROUGH SOME OF THIS WRECKAGE AND TRY TO FIND ANYTHING THAT COULD BE VALUABLE. IT SOUNDED LIKE TWO FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDING EACH OTHER. PAUL BATHURST WAS A FEW BLOCKS AWAY WHEN THE TORNADO HIT. I WAS IN SHOCK. HE CAME HOME TO FIND THIS. I LOST HALF OF MY LIFE SAVINGS RIGHT HERE. YEAH, I LOST PROBABLY $30,000 WORTH OF STUFF. I LOST A LOT OF MONEY, A LOT OF VALUABLE STUFF. ALL MY FAMILY PICTURES, THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS THREE SEPARATE TORNADOES HIT THE HAWKEYE STATE. SO THE DAMAGE PATH ACROSS GREENFIELD IS ABOUT ONE MILE LONG. AS THE CROW FLIES, WHICH MEANS IT TOOK JUST ABOUT ONE MINUTE FOR THE DAMAGE TO DEVASTATION IN GREENFIELD. THE TWISTERS COMPLETELY WIPED OUT MORE THAN 200 HOMES AND KILLED AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE. THE LADIES THAT WE TALKED TO, SHE VERY FORTUNATE TO JUST BE IN THE RIGHT SPOT, TO HAVE HER LIFE SAVED. BUT SHE SAID, I'VE PICKED UP HERE AND I'M MOVING AND HELPING OTHER NEIGHBORS CLEAN UP THEIR HOME AS WELL. SO JUST A LOT OF CAMARADERIE OUT THERE, REALLY A LOT OF SUPPORT FOR EACH OTHER. THE FEMA DIRECTOR, DEANNE CRISWELL, SAYS IT'S BEEN A ROUGH SPRING FOR PEOPLE HERE IN IOWA. WE HAVE HAD SOME STAFF ON THE GROUND FOR SEVERAL WEEKS NOW BECAUSE OF THE PREVIOUS TORNADO THAT WENT THROUGH, AND SO IOWANS HAVE NOT HAD ANY CHANCE TO REALLY RECOVER FROM THOSE LAST STORMS. AND WE KNOW THAT WE'RE EXPECTING MORE WEATHER COMING IN OVER THE WEEKEND. WE COULD SEE THAT SEVERE WEATHER AFTER MIDNHT TONIGHT. SO IT'S GOING TO BE THOSE EARLY MORNING HOURS WHERE WE COULD SEE MORE STRONG WEATHER HERE. AND PEOPLE HERE ARE JUST WAITING TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER OR NOT FEMA IS GOING TO APPROVE THE PRESIDE
