Officials on Monday were inspecting damage from a tornado that cut a 20-mile long path across four central Iowa counties. The tornado dropped out of storms that developed late Sunday afternoon, bringing high wind, heavy rain and large hail to the area. The tornado formed north of Pella in Marion County and moved into Mahaska County before sweeping into Jasper and Poweshiek counties, said Craig Cogil, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Des Moines.
