Storms kill eight in central US A deadly storm destroyed a section of Hugo, Minnesota Enlarge Image Tornadoes and severe thunderstorms have swept through central parts of the United States, killing at least eight people and destroying many homes. The worst-hit areas were in Iowa. Seven people died when a tornado hit two towns north-east of Des Moines. In Minnesota, a storm flattened several homes near St Paul, killing a child. The US tornado season - which peaks in the spring and early summer and affects many mid-Western states - has been particularly deadly this year. The severe weather was caused by a slow-moving storm system that brought high winds and hail from Texas to Minnesota. In Iowa, the towns of Parkersburg and New Hartford - about 80 miles (130km) from Des Moines - were directly hit by a powerful tornado. Taking shelter At least five people died in Parkersburg, where many buildings were reduced to rubble - including most of the town's high school . http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7419838.stm Don't get blown away this year like these folks
