Mile-wide tornado touches down in U.S. Midwest Oct 5th 2013, 02:09 Share this Email Print Reprints By Brendan O'Brien Fri Oct 4, 2013 10:09pm EDT (Reuters) - A tornado at least a mile wide was reported in Iowa on Friday as a series of twisters swept through the U.S. heartland, causing significant damage, according to the National Weather Service. The wide tornado was spotted in Woodbury County and again in Plymouth, Iowa, and caused major damage between 6:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. local time, according to preliminary reports by the weather service. It was unclear whether it was the same tornado, according to Billy Williams, a NWS meteorologist in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Damage was also reported in Wayne, Nebraska, Quimby, Iowa, and Union, South Dakota, according to the weather service. "There has been some significant damage, but we don't have all of the details yet," Williams said. The National Weather Service is forecasting severe weather throughout the region through Friday night.
