Des Moines Register Web site: "A tornado touched down in Lenox at about 4:30 p.m. The twister ripped through the city of 1,407 on a northeasterly path and left as much as 45 percent of the town damaged, city officials estimated.

“There are houses here that used to be two stories that are now less than one story,” said Sandi Reyner, who works at a restaurant in downtown Lenox."

OK, I'll take my crow over easy on rye toast. It's going to be storming here in the next half-hour.
