On Sunday night, a high rise apartment partially collapsed in Davenport. Rescue teams were working to get the residents out of the building. No reports of how many people were trapped or injured.

1. I have a cousin in Davenport, but she doesn't live in a high rise building.

2. I wouldn't call that derail a major disaster tbh. No injuries, nothing hazardous, etc.

3. We had one in IA too - not "Major"

But impactful to the community. Our local bowling alley burnt to the ground. Only two weeks after a historic apartment building was destroyed by fire. No injuries in either, although people from the apartment building lost everything and some pets.

4. Train derailed outside a popular Wisconsin state park yesterday

From the photos, it looks like the trestle collapsed. Maybe the rail companies should maintain their lines.
