Some Iowa Disaster Videos
About three weeks before the town of Oakville, Iowa was flooded, on May 25, an EF5 tornado struck towns in northern Iowa. The torrential rain that accompanied the storm contributed to the floods later. Below is a security video of a bank in Parkersburg showing the tornado hitting.
A resident of Parkersburg captured tornado footage and pictures then created this video from them. Seven people died from the storm.
Another person posted a video containing various flood and storm pictures from northeast Iowa and set them to music.
On June 11, a tornado struck a Boy Scout camp in western Iowa and killed four scouts. This is the storm that dropped torrential rain in northern Iowa, up to 8 inches overnight, that exacerbated the dangerous flood conditions. Iowa has had a year it doesn't want to experience again.
