Greenfield Iowa tornado: Numerous fatalities and extensive damage recorded

The small city of Greenfield was devastated by a tornado, according to the Iowa State Patrol, which also reports that several deaths have occurred.

Online-posted images and videos depict extensive devastation. 

Authorities in Iowa claim that as of right now, they do not have a complete tally of the deaths. 

Although there are still people being searched as of Tuesday night, authorities think that everyone in the 2,000-person city has been found.

A minimum of twelve persons, according to officials, were hurt in the extreme weather.

A senior center was one of the houses and businesses damaged, however, officials are unsure if anyone was hurt there.

There are now shelters available for the locals. The city has imposed a curfew for the duration of the night, beginning at 10 p.m. 

The Iowa State Patrol will provide additional information about the cleanup efforts on Wednesday morning.

The majority of the village has been devastated, according to FOX Weather Storm Tracker Brandon Copic.
