A tornado touched down Tuesday in Adams County, Iowa, toppling several wind turbines and leaving behind a trail of damage.
The tornado touched down just northwest of Prescott around 3 p.m. Tuesday as a line of severe storms pushed into the state. KCCI's Zane Satre witnessed the storms touching down first-hand.
“It’s a pretty violent-looking tornado. It’s not fully condensed to the ground at all times. You can see it’s kind of grungy looking," he said. "You can sort of see through it at times. But there's definitely circulation all the way to the ground."
Multiple wind turbines were destroyed by the tornado as it ripped across the county. Satre said he observed at least three 250-foot towers snapped like twigs, their blades scattered across the area.
The National Weather Service issued a tornado watch for the entire state.
