Authorities said on Saturday night, 6 people, including 2 children, were killed and 4 injured in a powerful tornado in the US state of Iowa.
The apparent tornado in Madison County, Iowa, was not confirmed by the National Weather Service, but federal meteorologists said images of the damage showed it was an EF3 tornado.
