Many streets were flooded in Des Moines with cars stranded in the high water, including Fleur Drive. Mid-American Energy reported as many as 22,000 customers without electricity immediately following the storm. Crews worked through the night and by seven o'clock Sunday morning, that number was down to 4,000 customers without power. Some trees were blown over in Des Moines. There was damage to the roof of an apartment building at the Terrace Hill Apartments near 25th and Grand Avenue in Des Moines. Fans watching the Iowa Barnstormers game at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines were told to evacuate the building. The storm knocked out power to the building and that sent out an automated alarm to evacuate the building. The game was delayed about 30 minutes but resumed without incident KCCI's Amanda Lewis reported Sunday morning from Valley Junction in West Des Moines, where a tree is blocking one of the roadways. The roof has been ripped off of the old Wright Tree Service building in Valley Junction. Debris was scattered for blocks.
