Extreme weather continues to claim lives here in the United States. On Wednesday, four people were killed and nearly fifty injured when a tornado tore through a Boy Scout campground in western Iowa. Tornadoes also hit Minnesota, Nebraska and Kansas, where at least two people were killed. The Kansas State University campus suffered extensive damage while the Kansas town of Chapman was nearly completely destroyed.
The tornadoes come on the heels of storms that have caused extensive flooding across the Midwest. The National Weather Service is predicting the worst flooding along the Mississippi River in Missouri and Illinois in fifteen years.
