2008 TORNADOES IN
IOWALast year in Iowa, tornadoes claimed the lives of a dozen people and injured at least 130. State records say the dozen deaths in 2008 are the highest total since 1968. The 2008 tornado season also matched 2001 for the second-most twisters in a year at 105. Among the tornadoes was an EF5 storm that tore through Parkersburg on May 25, spinning a 43-mile path through three counties and killing eight people. Less than a month later there was an EF3 tornado that struck the Little Sioux Boy Scout camp in western Iowa, killing four Scouts and injuring 48 others from Iowa and Nebraska. The National Weather Service said the two storms accounted for more than $100 million in damage.
ARIZONA SNOWSnow is falling in Arizona's high country as a winter storm moves through the state. The white stuff is falling at elevations higher than 6,000 feet. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for parts of the state, warning that snow accumulations could make driving difficult. Areas that should see significant snow include the Mogollon Rim, the White Mountains in eastern Arizona, and higher elevations in the Tucson area. The winter storm also is expected to bring rain to the Phoenix metro area and Gila County.
