MASON CITY, Iowa (AP) – Assessment teams have confirmed that at least five tornadoes touched down in north-central Iowa.  Officials say no injuries or deaths have been reported from Wednesday’s storms, which damaged homes, businesses and farm buildings.  One that hit within a mile of Belmond rated EF3 on the tornado scale, with winds of 155 mph. Meteorologists say its 200-yard-wide path ran for eight miles.
 
Another that came down near Belmond was rated EF0, which on the scale means the winds ranged from 65 to 85 mph.  A third tornado struck the ground about a mile north of Alexander, carrying winds estimated at 112 mph, damaging some farm buildings.  Two tornadoes reported near Hampton were rated as an EF1, with 90 mph winds, and an EF0, with winds up to 70 mph.

New light is shining on Road to Omaha sculpture

Sports

June 14th, 2013 by Ric Hanson

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Fans attending the College World Series at night will notice some new lighting on the Road to Omaha sculpture in front of the main gate at TD Ameritrade Park. Lighting fixtures and glass panels attached to the sculpture’s concrete backsplash, as well as a new spotlight, provide a different kind of illumination. 

CWS Inc. president Jack Diesing Jr. said the lighting is synchronized to provide an alternating spectrum of colors behind the sculpture.  The 1,500-pound bronze sculpture was created by John Lajba and depicts four baseball players celebrating victory at home plate. It was dedicated in 1999 and moved to the downtown ballpark from its original location at the old Rosenblatt Stadium.
