Wind knocks over rail cars, topples trees

DENISON — Winds gusting to 87 mph have knocked over train cars and toppled trees in western Iowa. Authorities say no injuries were reported from the storms that ran through Crawford and other counties early Thursday morning. Crawford County emergency management coordinator Greg Miller says 17 double-stacked container cars are blocking two sets of tracks about two miles west of Westside. Miller also says trees and branches are down in several communities.
