(Orient, IA) — Classes are still suspended at a school district in southern Iowa after last weekend’s storms caused heavy hail damage. The Orient-Macksburg Community School District is planning to resume in-person classes after spring break. KCCI Television reports that hail the size of tennis balls and baseballs were spotted by their viewers in Orient. The town is southwest of Winterset, which took the brunt of an E-F-4 tornado that killed six people there.
