idler came to an abrupt halt when the storm hit..tearing up the roof, smashing out a window and damaging the warehouse. workers say the storm seemed to come out of nowhere. "we just were having some rain, it was calm. all of the sudden the wind kicked up. i mean it was a matter of three, four seconds. it was boom and it was over with just as quickly as it came in." the storm was very localized in corning. buildings just a few yards away from p- p-i saw no damage. there were no reports of injuries. a family north of minburn is cleaning up a mess tonight after the suspected tornado destroyed a storage shed on their property. mike dasilva has the story. 21:44:14--17 'it was just really windy and raining really hard.' the suspected tornado destroying this storage shed north of minburn..blowing the roof clean off, and leaving debris strewn everywhere. 21:45:38 'did it all happen pretty fast? yeah, yeah it did." 21:45:41--51 'i was watching the news and it looked like a storm was coming up and it was gonna be here in about 5-10 minutes, so i went in the basement and it probably lasted maybe ten minutes.' chad spellman says

25-30 thousand dollars to replace the shed...and this isn't the first time something like this has happened on this property. 21:44:29--34 'we had some damage a few years ago and blew some sheds over and it just seems like it happens all the time anymore.' last time the damage was 80 thousand dollars... 21:46:46--48 'it gets old cleaning all this up.' chad's wife and kids weren't home at the time the strong winds came through today... 21:55:53 "we were just leaving downtown from work and school and had been talking to chad and he just said if you can't make it, stop at waukee at dad's house and so that's what we did and rode it out in waukee.. 21:56:15--26 'to think we could have been in the basement and this could have happened or it could have been the house, so its nice to know that we were safe where we were and that chad was safe when all is said and done.' and despite the damage the winds caused...erin spellman says she's thankful. 21:56:37--51 ' jay and i actually said a prayer when we were in waukee just to make sure that everybody would be safe so, its nice to see the sun shining after something like this happens and know that everybody

that we love is safe and we dont have to be doing something different than cleaning up an old barn.' leave the nats of the kid. the good news is the family does have insurance. it appears a tornado briefly touched down at the des moines airport... the strong winds flipping a trailer at the iowa air guard... a fence around the guard post was also damaged and a skylight also fell down inside a hanger... nats and this is what passengers inside the airport witnessed... and this is what passengers inside the airport witnessed... a viewer sent us this video... of wind blowing some boarding stairs across the tarmac. it crashed into a parked airplane. the storm also hit winterset this afternoon, just before school let out... 12:08-12:19 we made the decision to hold all our students until the emergency was over it took about a half an hour before we felt it was safe to bring the buses on campus and load the this up and send them home for the day.

all the students were in the tornado shelter during that time... when it was all over, school leaders found that their nearly year- old scoreboard was gone. the winds knocking it to the ground... the roof of a softball dugout was also ripped off. superintendent susie meade also says a few items are also missing. the end of the day was also delayed in waukee... students were let out but then the tornado sirens went off. they had to go back inside for shelter. one student tells us they were there for about 50-minutes... and the fear of a possible tornado went away with the question of when they could get out. 54:32-54:43 i wasn't worried, well i was worried about when we would be let out, it was hot in there i just wanted to get out and get some fresh air west des moines.. ankeny.. and several other school districts did the same. thousands are in the dark this evening, after storm took down power lines... about five thousand midamerican energy customers without power across the state... most of those are now out east... 15-hundred are in des moines... mid-american says crews will be

president barack obama also delivered an address today.. thanking vets. he highlighted the administration's efforts to better help those veterans. but the president admitted there are still challenges following the 2014 scandal involving extended wait times and lack of access to healthcare at veteran's affairs facilities across the country. veteran unemployment is one area that's improved, according to the white house, and obama ended his remarks by encouraging americans to hire veterans. : "if tomorrow after the parades and the ceremonies we roll up the banners and sweep the veterans halls and go back to our daily lives forgetting the bond between the service of our veterans and our obligations as citizens then we will be doing a profound disservice to our veterans and to the very cause for which they served. this day is not only about gratitude for what they have done for us, it is also a reminder of all that they still have to give to our nation

"the private sector creates jobs." for a country at the crossroads, he says vocational education can rebuild american manufacturing. "when they graduate at 18 years of age, they will be ready to work

fixing airplanes and cars and welding on machines." fresh from the gop debate in milwaukee, rubio's campaign is picking up steam in iowa. this packed house reflects his rise to third place in caucus polling. "i like one thing that he said. we have to make stuff again instead of doing stuff again." "he actually has some of the problems a lot of the rest of us have, and i think that helps his message resonate even better." new jersey governor chris christie represents the underdog for iowa republicans. "we can make a difference in people's lives. we can change the world." with support struggling in the low single digits, christie is searching to stand out. he calls for treatment instead of prison time for drug offenders. he says treatment costs less and produces better results. "i want us to reach out and help each other. that's what a compassionate america does. that's what a pro-life conservate america does." both candidates want to be part of a new republican party. it's rubio's challenge to save the american dream.

speaking truth to power. he moved to vermont, won election and praise as one of america's best mayors. in congress, he stood up for working families and for principle, opposing the iraq war, supporting veterans. now he's taking on wall street and a corrupt political system funded by over a million contributions, tackling climate change to create clean-energy jobs, fighting for living wages, equal pay, and tuition-free public colleges. people are sick and tired of establishment politics, and they want real change!
