A tornado ripped through the southwest Iowa town of Lenox, but no serious injuries have been reported.

Spring storms pummeled parts of Iowa on Wednesday, ripping off roofs, shattering windows and tearing apart trees.

Sandi Reyner works at a restaurant in Lenox, a town of about 1,400 people. She told The Des Moines Register that “there are
houses here that used to be two stories that are now less than one story.”

The National Weather Service says it will be sending a team to Lenox on Thursday to confirm the tornado report and assess the storm’s strength.  Storm spotters also reported a tornado about two miles from Kent, which is a few miles northeast of Lenox.
