A mile-wide tornado touched down near the town of Cherokee, Iowa, cutting a 2- to 3-mile path through farmland but missing any population centers, the state Department of Homeland Security told the Associated Press.

16. Experienced storm chaser Reed Timmer was hospitalized while chasing the storms after he suffered an apparent seizure. He is recovering at Mercy Medical Center in Sioux City, Iowa.
