OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – More than a dozen Nebraska and Council Bluffs grocery stores have eliminated tainted beef from suppliers that used products from an Omaha meat-processing facility. The Omaha World-Herald reports that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention hasn’t listed any E. coli outbreaks in Nebraska or Iowa this week. The newspaper says local health departments weren’t available for comment Wednesday.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a nationwide recall last week for more than 167,000 pounds of All American Meats Inc. ground beef products for possible E. coli contamination. The bacteria can cause death or illness. More than 100 retailers in about 20 states were on a USDA-issued list of locations that might have tainted meat on their shelves.
Damage assessment is underway in communities across much of Iowa after Wednesday’s severe weather. There are multiple reports of tornadoes, mostly in southwest and central Iowa, as well as wind damage reports from Council Bluffs to Davenport. In Adams County, Donnie Willett is the Emergency Management Coordinator. He says they may have had a twister touch down near Corning.
“We had three buildings at our industrial site that sustained roof damage and sidewall damage from the downburst or tornado or whatever it was.” Workers were evacuated from the P-P-I or Precision Pulley and Idler factory in Corning. No injuries were reported. Willett says the powerful winds made for a rough afternoon for at least one truck driver.
“We had a semi blow over on Highway 34 at the Redwood Avenue intersection,” Willett says. “There were no injuries involved.” The Weather Service says power poles were knocked down in Red Oak at around 1:45-p.m., Wednesday.
In Ringgold County, where winds whipped up to 80-mph, power lines were downed in a rural area south of Delphos, and a machine shed was destroyed by a possible tornado east of Delphos. A barn was also destroyed southeast of Diagonal and part of a machine shed was damaged west/northwest of Mount Ayr. The weather service says also, a barn lost its roof one mile north of Bridgewater at around 2:15-p.m.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — St. Louis Cardinals Hall of Famer Lou Brock, a former base stealing champion, has had his left leg amputated below the knee due to an infection related to diabetes. The Cardinals and a longtime friend, Dick Zitzmann, confirmed that the 76-year-old Brock had had the procedure done. Brock is undergoing therapy at an area hospital and will be fitted for a prosthetic leg. Zitzmann says the operation was done Oct. 27. Brock was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes about 15 years ago.
Brock stole a National League-record 938 bases, including 118 in 1974. He had 3,023 hits, becoming a star after a celebrated trade from the Cubs in 1964 for pitcher Ernie Broglio. Brock batted .391 with four home runs and 10 steals in 21 World Series games.
