When the violent derecho hit Eastern Iowa on Aug. 10, Gazette journalists reacted quickly to provide coverage online and publish a newspaper, despite the devastation and power and internet outages.
Listen as Gazette and KCRG journalists share their stories with Iowa Public Radio's Charity Nebbe on "Talk of Iowa."
