The Meskwaki Settlement near Tama was hit hard by the derecho the roared across Iowa and work continues there to move debris. Tribal Response Emergency Manager Roxane Warnell says many homes had roofs torn off and the rain got inside. She says they will seek federal help in recovering.

She says FEMA representatives have already visited as they went around to other communities that were hit by the derecho.  Warnell says the damage is already adding up to more than one million dollars.
