(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds issued disaster proclamations for 12 counties this weekend after several tornados touched down Friday.. The governor’s proclamation allows state resources to be used to respond in Cedar, Clinton, Delaware, Des Moines, Dubuque, Grundy, Johnson, Keokuk, Linn, Mahaska, Wapello, and Washington counties. Delaware County Emergency Management Coordinator Mandy Bieber says the storms spread across the county — with significant damage in the Manchester area and also in Greeley and Oneida.

The National Weather Service is out assessing the damage and has confirmed there was an E-F-2 tornado in Wapello County northeast of Ottumwa. At least three homes and one hog confinement facility were damaged. Other assessment continues.
