Gov. Kim Reynolds will speak at 11 a.m. Tuesday as part of her twice-weekly news conferences. You can watch the live stream in the video above.
The governor is expected to share updates about the powerful storm — a derecho — that devastated many parts of the state on Monday. Winds over 100 mph swept the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City areas, ripping hundreds of trees from the ground and roofs off of buildings, and leaving hundreds of thousands without power across the state.

Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds updates the state's response Aug. 4 to the coronavirus outbreak during a news conference in Johnston. The refusal of Gov. Reynolds to require Iowans to wear masks in public has prompted at least three cities and a county to impose their own local ordinances setting up what could be a legal battle over whether local officials have the authority to impose such demands.
