Throughout Sunday evening a series of numerous thunderstorms and heavy winds rocked many counties in Siouxland.
The severe weather hit multiple counties in Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota, including Emmett, Cherokee, and Woodbury County. Tornados hit near Moville, Terrill, Salix and Lawton, plus Winnebago in Nebraska..
According to the Woodbury County Emergency Management, the agency is actively recruiting volunteers to help with the cleanup. Many city and county crews were clearing downed trees, while residents also worked on their properties into Monday afternoon.
Sailix, Moville, and Kingsley are some of the towns that are in need of assistance for the cleanup. Those latter two towns had several homes where sizable trees landed onto roofs and other parts of homes.
Many residents were without power for many hours from Sunday into Monday, such as 12 hours in Moville, until 7 a.m.. According to the MidAmerican Energy website there were still about 14,000 places without power just before noon Monday,
The cleanup may not be completed in some areas before another collection of severe weather arrives.
The National Weather Service says Monday afternoon and evening could see strong storms on a line from Wayne, Nebraska to Sheldon, Iowa to Windom, Minnesota. Those could include heavy rain, sizable hail, winds above 60 miles per hour, and tornadoes.
