PRAIRIEBURG, Iowa (AP) – Residents in a city in eastern Iowa are raising money to repair a city park destroyed by a tornado that ripped through the community last month. Prairieburg Mayor Arlene Holub tells KWWL-TV that the Baker Community Park is used for many events, including graduation parties and outdoor weddings.
Nonprofit Good Ole’ Boys maintains and runs the park. They’ve started a GoFundMe fundraising campaign to help the rebuilding process. The group has raised about $1,200 of its $20,000 goal as of Tuesday (Today). Residents want the park rebuilt by Labor Day for the city’s annual tractor pull event.
The EF-2 tornado that destroyed the park also damaged nearby homes and businesses. The Enhanced Fujita scale rates the tornado intensity in the country from zero to five, five being the most intense.

The National Weather Service is warning Iowa residents to be prepared for hot and humid conditions this week. Temperatures in the KJAN listening area are expected to be in the low 90’s this week. The dewpoint, which is a more accurate measure of moisture in the air than the Relative Humidity, will remain consistent at around 70-to 72-degree. The Heat Index (how it feels when the actual temperature and the Dew Point are factored-in) is expected to be anywhere from 100- to 105-degrees across southern Iowa (from the I-80 corridor on south), Monday.
North of I-80, except in the Des Moines (where the Heat Index will be 100-105), it’ll feel more like 90- to 100-degrees through about the Highway 30 corridor, and 85-to 95-degrees from the Iowa/Minnesota border southward to Highway 20 corridor. 
As of mid-afternoon Sunday, no Heat-related advisories or warning had been posted for the area, although south of the Iowa-Missouri line, a Heat Advisory will be in effect from Noon Monday through 7-p.m. Wednesday.
