GREENFIELD – Four fatalities and at least 35 injuries were the result of the tornado that impacted Greenfield during the afternoon hours of Tuesday. The names and ages of those killed in the severe weather event are not being released at this time pending notification of next of kin. A preliminary survey by the National Weather Service indicated the storm was at least an EF-3 on the enhanced fujita scale, with a higher designation likely with further research planned. It is believed that the number of those injured is likely higher, but these numbers reflect only those patients treated for their injuries at designated alternate care sites. At least 14 patients were transported to out-of-county medical facilities by various EMS Services.
