(Radio Iowa) — Clean-up is underway in Waverly after a weekend storm injured five people and left wide-spread damage throughout the northeast Iowa community. Officials say straight-line winds uprooted trees and blew down utility lines around noon on Saturday. The sudden storm hit Waverly just as the city’s annual Heritage Days Festival was getting underway following a parade. High wind hit the fairgrounds and collapsed the beer tent, injuring five people. Festival organizers reported the injuries were all relatively minor. Despite the storm damage, Waverly Heritage Days went on as scheduled.
No one was injured when a pickup struck a cow on 110th Street in Union County, early this (Monday) morning. The Union County Sheriff’s Office reports 16-year old Gauge Mitchell, of Creston, who wore his seat belt, was driving a 1997 Chevy K1500 pickup westbound on 110th Street at around 12:37-a.m., when the vehicle struck a cow on the traveled portion of the road. Following the collision, authorities say “The cow exited to road to the south.” Mitchell pulled the pickup into a private driveway and parked, because the vehicle had sustained disabling undercarriage damage estimated at $1,500. No citations were issued. The report did not indicate who the owner of the cow was.

The Iowa Department of Transportation has posted a photo of a semi, whose driver found out the hard way yesterday (Sunday) morning, that barricades and “ROAD CLOSED” signs aren’t just suggestions to stay away from certain areas. (See the photo below) The driver ignored the signs and barricades posted on Highway 2 at the Missouri River, where the road was completely torn-up. Their rig ended-up being tilted, with the tractor section partially off the road and the trailer jackknifed onto the shoulder. Officials ask motorists to “Please pay attention and don’t go around traffic control devices. They are in place to keep you safe.”

MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) — Some veterans are complaining about a new, more restrictive policy regarding smoking at the Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown. The Times-Republican reports that the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has required the Iowa home to implement VA policy limiting where residents can smoke. The VA provides a substantial amount of the funding to the Iowa facility for facility construction and maintenance, resident care and other activities.
The hospital commandant, Timon Oujiri, says the policy is aimed at ensuring the safety of residents who smoke as well as the safety of staffers and other residents. State Rep. Mark Smith is a longtime volunteer at the hospital, and he says he’s received several calls from World War II and Vietnam War veterans who do not agree with the new policy.
