DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) -- Powerful storms moving across Iowa are dumping heavy rain and causing flash flooding, while producing a lot of wind damage and a few tornadoes.
Several tornadoes and funnel clouds were reported late Tuesday across northern Iowa. In Bremer County, winds damaged several homes and blew down two barns near Tripoli (tri-PO'-luh).
No injuries are reported.
Heavy rain, however, is causing problems.
In Wright County, the sheriff's office says over 5 inches of rain fell overnight, flooding roads countywide.
Several homes in Clarion have water in the basement.
Sheriff's dispatcher Linda Darland says the rain came down so fast, it just flooded everywhere.
