(Atlantic, Iowa) – Cass County Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Kennon says he has applied for a Disaster Proclamation from the State, and Governor Kim Reynolds is expected to issue a Proclamation for Cass and other counties, sometime today. Kennon said they’re just beginning to assess the damage that spans west/southwest of Atlantic to northeast of town.
Kennon says they had a total of nine semi tractor-trailer rollovers in the County, primarily along Interstate 80. There were no life-threatening injuries reported. He said just because the storm has passed, doesn’t mean there aren’t hazards people should be aware of.
He said power crews are out and about working on downed lines. The tornado sirens in Atlantic went off twice, Wednesday evening. He offered advice to residents in the County, following the storms…
Residents with damage or downed power lines should call the Cass County EMA at 712-254-1500.
(Radio Iowa) Iowa and Iowa State are adding to their ranks with the start of the early signing period. The Hawkeyes released a class of 17 players, including Southeast Polk safety Xavier Nwampka and Southeast Valley lineman Aaron Graves.
That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz who says after a slow start to this class momentum kicked in when the campus opened up for visits in June.
Ferentz says the ability to host recruits made this a more normal process this year.

(Radio Iowa) – The 14-hundred residents of the northwest Iowa town of Kingsley lost power as Wednesday’s storm damaged power lines, trees and buildings. Duane Walhof is Plymouth County’s Emergency Management director. “Parts of roofs torn off and those type things, mainly on the south side of Kingsley,” Walhof says. “…Titan Machinery had the roof torn off and tossed across the road.”
Walhof says there were reports the roofs of hog barns in rural areas around Kingsley were damaged as well. Walhof says since the storm hit at about 5 p.m., it was difficult to assess damage in the dark. “The National Weather Service will be out to try to identify whether it was straight line winds or a tornado,” Walhof says. “We’ll see what the day brings in how quickly we can get Kingsley back up and restored and back on it again.”
The Plymouth County Sheriff restricted movement within the Kingsley City Limits overnight to residents of the community, to limit the number of sightseers driving through the damage. Kingsley-Pierson School was cancelled for today (Thursday).
2 cups frozen shrimp, thawed, patted dry with paper towels
3 tablespoons corn oil
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
6 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1/2 cup diced yellow onion
1 tablespoon brined capers, drained and minced
1 cup dry white wine
1 cup bottled clam juice
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (about 7 tomatoes), quartered
2 ounces (1/4 cup) cold butter, quartered
Baguette, for serving
Stir together the garlic paste, mustard, garlic salt and lemon pepper in a medium bowl. Add the shrimp, stirring to coat, and let stand for 5 to 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet over high. Place the shrimp in a single layer in the hot skillet; cook for 1 minute on one side. Return the shrimp to the bowl with the marinade. Add the lemon juice and 4 tablespoons of the parsley; stir and set aside.
Put the onion, capers, and remaining 1 tablespoon of oil in the skillet. Cook over medium-high until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, clam juice and cream, and boil until reduced by half, about 5 minutes, adding the tomatoes during the last 3 minutes of cooking. (You can always add water if the mixture seems too thick.)
Remove from the heat. Add the shrimp mixture and stir. Whisk in the butter until melted. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons parsley. Serve with torn pieces of baguette or grilled bread.
