A group of American Red Cross members from Iowa are preparing to assist the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Tammie Pech, with the Sioux City office of the American Red Cross says they are send five emergency response vehicles east. “We’ve got 10 volunteers on those five trucks and we also have another group of volunteers that are helping out in a leadership fashion…so currently we have 14 of the Iowa volunteers over there and many on standby to obviously go in as soon as the airports reopen and we can assess where the need is the greatest,” Pech says.
She says the Red Cross members will be scattered all over the eastern part of the country.
“We will be all up and down the eastern seaboard at this time, obviously New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, West Viginia …Baltimore, Maryland, I know we had a crew going there. There’s just going to be a lot of areas where people are going to be in need,” Pech says. If you want to help out, Pech says the best way is to make a donation to the Red Cross effort.
“A financial donation goes so far, just two dollars will provide snacks to kids who are in the shelters. Ten dollars provides a warm hot meal to shelter residents as they are waiting out the storm or until they get power restored to their homes. A financial donation is the best way to do that,” Pech explains. “They can do that by going to Red-Cross-dot-org (www.RedCross.org), texting the word ‘Red Cross’ to nine-zero-nine-nine-nine (9099) or calling 1-800-RED-CROSS. Just be aware that the 1-800-RedCross is also our emergency line, so that may be tied up right now.” Reports say as many as 17 people have died in the storm.

The Mills County Sheriff’s office reports a Pottawattamie County man was injured during a single-vehicle rollover accident Monday morning, about a mile north of Glenwood. 52-year old Eric Parsons, of Council Bluffs, was transported by Glenwood Rescue to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs, after the 1988 Honda he was driving crashed at around 10:45-a.m.
Parsons was traveling south on 221st Street when his vehicle went off the road to the right. When he over corrected, his actions caused the vehicle to cross the center line of the road and exit to the right, where it hit a large pine tree at 56325 221st Street, and rolled onto its driver’s side.

Officials say Winchel was traveling south on 287th, about one-half mile north of Cary Avenue, when the 2001 Dodge van she was driving crossed into the northbound lane and then onto the east shoulder for about 110-feet. When Winchel over corrected, the van went out of control and skidded 43-feet into the west embankment before it stood on-end, and came to rest facing north, without having rolled over.
