Thinking about those in the farming community tonight. This is just a sampling of many cornfields across Iowa after the derecho moved through today. Absolutely devastating. #IAwx pic.twitter.com/PDwhNJUD7L

WOW! Iowa corn crop is toast.
Woah! This is not a good sight to see. South of Scranton, Iowa the fields are flattened.
