derecho

Many Iowa lawmakers want disaster prep items included with an extra day to save.

Last week's storms that left 49 Iowa counties deemed as disaster areas, were indeed another derecho.

One person is dead after their semi-trailer.

If you have a large tree that needs to be removed, it could be just what the city of Cedar Rapids is looking for!

Thanks to the derecho, many neighborhoods are noticing how much worse THIS problem has become!

The derecho impacted 27 counties along U.S. Hwy. 30 corridors primarily in central and east-central Iowa.

In August of 2020 this mother, Brooke Porter, took her kids with her on a few errands in Grimes, Iowa. Porter was on her way to pick something up from Facebook marketplace when the storm hit.

It's hard to believe, but it's been one whole year since that devastated derecho ripped through Iowa.

There's still so much work left to do.

Marion will hold a series of events this August to commemorate last summer's derecho.
