Tornadoes continue to cause injuries in the Midwest.  Several tornadoes were reported Wednesday night across Iowa and Illinois, including one that caused several injuries.  Down in Charleston, Illinois, a state of emergency was declared after a confirmed tornado rolled through town at about 6:40pm last night, knocking down trees and power lines and blocking roadways.  Officials are still assessing the damage.  In Effingham County, emergency officials said a tornado ripped through homes and farms for over ten miles, causing several injuries, none of them life-threatening.
