Stormchasers have captured the moment a supercell hit a town in Iowa, causing widespread damage and leaving at least one person injured. The giant wall of cloud and rain shut roads and knocked out power for hundreds of homes in the area around Denison. Winds of up to 90mph caused significant damage in Dakota City, Nebraska, and Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, on Saturday and forced Interstate 29 to close when a roof was blown off a building and into a pickup truck, the Omaha World-Herald reported.
Severe thunderstorms across the northeastern US saw three men struck by lighting and flights delayed. The men were injured at Orchard Beach, in New York's Bronx neighbourhood, on Sunday as storms hit the area. They were taken to hospital, but their condition is unknown.
