Homes were completely flattened and trees uprooted by this tornado, which ravaged the town of Greenfield, population 2,000.
 
"Four dead and at least 35 injured following the tornado that touched down in Greenfield and the Adair County area," Iowa police said Wednesday, adding that the number of injured could still rise.
 
Another person died when his car was swept away by the tornado, said the Adam County Sheriff's Office.
