Storms kill eight in central US

A deadly storm destroyed a section of Hugo, Minnesota

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 .

      I have no idea why I'm even on all of these call lists that are on Robo-Dial by A.I.  One is a female voice and the other is a male voice and all they did was change the name that they give you.  I did get put through to a few live people to try to ask them to remove me from their list, but they, the telemarketer, hung up on me.   It's like I'm living "Telemarketers Revenge" for all the years of people handing up on them.   I always spoke with the telemarketer and then wished them a good day before hanging up.  And this is what I get for all of my decades of kindness.  I don't think I deserve this, but the World has lost a lot of the niceties that it used to have when I was growing up.  And no...COVID did not cause this.  I'm also getting tired of that excuse.  Its been 6 years!  People felt they were given the Green Light to be anti-social and rude to your face and now it is part of society just like everything else Mainstream adopts and considers it a cultural add-on.   I just hope I can survive this onslaught of calls blowing up my phone until it dies down.  Else, I will place a block on my number and only allow calls from family, friends and medical associated with my job.

      This is crazy.   I had to mute my phone because I am getting 50+ calls a day regarding Life Insurance, Medical Insurance, Burial Benefits, a Senior Food Expense Card, a Senior Social Security monthly reimbursement benefit, etc., and I don't qualify for any of it.  I don't even meet the age requirement.   At current, I have 53 missed calls and 38 of them were from yesterday.
