The Shelby County Emergency Management Agency reports, with much of the crop being in the bins now, the amount of fuel necessary for opening burning to spread beyond an intended area, has been reduced. Therefore, the local Fire Danger threat is being reduced to “Moderate,” from now through late this week.

Officials warn that grassland is still very dry, and fires which start there can run for a long time until out of fuel, and spread to structures. Persons are advised to please let your Fire Chief know in advance of the time and location of any burns to prevent needless responses from local volunteer firefighters. The next update will be Thursday October 29, 2015

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A band of storms produced some sightings of tornadoes in northwest Iowa Friday night, but there were no reports of injuries or significant damage. Kathy Stodola is duty officer for the Iowa emergency management department. She says that there was a report Friday evening of a roof torn off a building in Cherokee county.

The National Weather service says it received four reports of tornadoes, three in Sioux county and one in Cherokee county. Stodola said she expected the weather service to do an evaluation on the ground after daylight today (Saturday).
