The Severe Storms Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma, today (Tuesday), issued a summary of the storms that passed through the Midwest, Monday. An intense derecho (pronounced “Deh’RAY-show”) moved from far southeast South Dakota into Ohio yesterday (8/10/20). This derecho traveled approximately 770 miles in 14 hours and produced widespread damaging wind gusts, including numerous wind gusts over 74 mph (65 kt) & several over 90 mph in central Iowa. 
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz addressed his team on Monday during a wild day of speculation that the fall football season would be canceled by the Big Ten.

Iowa Health officials today (Tuesday), report (as of 10-a.m.) there were four more deaths in the State attributed to COVID-19 since 10-a.m. Monday, for a total of 935, and, 164 new, confirmed cases of the virus (compared to 268 previously), for a total of 49,182. Long-Term Care facility deaths account for 500 of the State death toll.
The IDPH says 525,823 Iowans have been tested, 2,456 tested negative since 10-a.m. Monday, for a total of 473,531 to-date. And, 37, 982 Iowans have recovered from the virus. Hospitalization data show: 244 are hospitalized with COVID-19 symptoms, a decline of 20 since Monday; 64 are in an ICU, down from 57 Monday; 34 were admitted to a hospital since Monday’s report, compared to 26 Monday, and 25 people were on a ventilatir.
Southwest/western Iowa hospitals report: two more have been admitted since Monday, for a total of 16; six people are in an ICU (compared to 5 Monday); one person was admitted (compared to 0 on Monday), and one person remains on a ventilator. The IDPH says “Due to severe weather conditions on August 10, 2020, some Iowans being treated for COVID-19 in a long-term care facility or at a home, may be transferred to a hospital or other care facility for temporary treatment due to damage to their place of residence. This may cause hospitalization data on the site to fluctuate in the short term.”

There has been very little change in the positive case numbers for southwest/western Iowa since 10-a.m. Monday, but there were some changes in the number of persons who have recovered (counties with changes since Monday, have highlighted numbers):
