AP Photos: Kansas, Iowa Scour Rubble After Storm The devastation from tornadoes that touched down in Oklahoma and Iowa Sunday left many families without homes, but no fatalities were reported in either state. Community officials in both states credited days of urgent warnings from forecasters for saving lives. The tragedy left many with damaged or destroyed homes, such as the Marquette, Kansas, house of Kevin and Zoey Patrick, which was reduced to a pile of rubble. Just as Marquette residents scoured through the rubble of their homes, so to did the families in Thurman, Iowa, and Wichita, Kansas. A large part of Thurman in the western part of Iowa was destroyed, a fate shared by many communities after dozens of tornadoes blitzed the Midwest and Plains Saturday and Sunday.
