"DES MOINES - The National Weather Service has received reports of injuries and possibly fatalities from an apparent tornado that struck a Boy Scout camp in western Iowa.
Meteorologist Jim Meyer says law enforcement officials had called the weather service Wednesday evening and reported injuries and damage at the Little Sioux Scout Ranch.
Meyer said: "We believe there were some fatalities and injuries."
A dispatcher with the Harrison County sheriff's department in Iowa says first responders are at the camp and more are en route. She isn't confirming reports of injuries."

I apologize for being away from my computer for several days now, but I knew there would be a bad tornado outbreak today and when I got on I heard terrible news. A tornado struck a Boy Scout camp, doing heavy damage and ATM the sketchy details point to at least 4 deaths and 20+ injuries. This is very saddening news considering I was a Boy Scout just a couple years ago and will have more updates if not later this evening than tomorrow morning.
Correction: Dozens of injuries, at least 20 serious, and 3 of them traumatic. This is an extremely bad situation and the news continues to get worse.
