WOODWARD, Iowa (AP) -- Tornadoes swept across central Iowa on Saturday, damaging homes in several towns and

sending college football fans running from a stadium for shelter.

At least one person was killed in the storm, and authorities Saturday

evening were evacuating Stratford, a town of about 746 residents 50 miles northwest of Des Moines.

" Half the town's gone, " said Bob Smith, who has lived in Stratford for 12 years.

Search and rescue teams found the body of another Stratford resident, Lucille Runyan,

80. She was killed when the tornado hit, said her daughter-in-law, Kim Runyan.

In Woodward, 30 miles to the south, 20 to 40 homes were severely damaged, Dallas County Sheriff

Brian Gilbert said. He said emergency crews had searched house-to-house and

hadn't found

any victims by evening.

" The big problem right now is power lines are down and

gas lines are ruptured, " Gilbert said. " We are encouraging people to

stay out of the area. "

National Weather Service meteorologist Craig Cogil said it

appeared that at least three tornadoes touched down Saturday afternoon.
