Waterloo and Other NE Iowa Schools Closing Early Due to Severe Weather Threat

When you think of school closings in Iowa, you likely think of snow. Ice. Freezing rain. Hey, maybe even sub-zero temps. But you don't necessarily think of wind and tornadoes, though it's crucial we keep our kids safe, so it's a smart reason to pull the plug early.
