(Undated) — Iowa American Red Cross volunteers are already providing help in the South after weekend storms spun off at least 50 tornadoes in eight states. Iowa spokesman, Josh Murray, says most of the Iowans are now in western Kentucky, where the damage is extreme and one entire town was nearly wiped off the map. He says the Iowa volunteers will be providing a range of services, from feeding and sheltering tornado survivors to helping them mentally recover from the massive, devastating storm. Murray says this is expected to be a long-term assignment with the amount of destruction to homes and businesses.
