IDA GROVE, Iowa (AP) — Hail and heavy rain have pounded parts of northwest Iowa. Hailstones up to 1.75 inches were reported Tuesday evening near Holstein and other communities. More than an inch of rain was reported in several areas. The hail battered homes, business, vehicles and crop fields in Ida County and others nearby.

The National Weather Service says a tornado was reported around 5:30 p.m. about 5 miles southeast of Cushing, and another tornado report was received around 5:40 p.m. from 5 miles north-northeast of Ida Grove. It’s uncertain whether the sightings were of the same twister.

No injuries have been reported.
