A Storm Chaser’s Sacrifice

UPDATE from Original Source : The person killed in the tornado in Greenfield, Iowa was not a storm chaser, as originally reported by the Indiana Weather Network.

Here’s more from a former Scottsbluff TV Weather personality, Emily Pike.

Monica Zamarron, 46, is the name of the woman who passed away tragically in the Iowa tornado.

Her car was found along 148 north of Corning. She leaves behind a family and friends. Her daughter has a GoFundMe for her funeral arrangements.

She was not storm chasing nor is she affiliated with storm chasing. Monica is one of 5 who passed in these tornadoes.

As many of you know, our family suffered the unthinkable on May 21st, 2024. My mother, Monica, was tragically taken away by the tornadoes that occurred in Corning, IA.

My mother was very loved and will be missed dearly by her family and friends. We appreciate the love, support, prayers, and words of comfort that our community has shown us in this difficult time.

There have been several that have asked for a way to do more. This fundraiser will allow those of you who feel compelled to go above and beyond to give in her memory.

These funds will go towards any funeral expenses. We continue to ask for prayers as our family will undoubtedly need them.

Anything helps, thank you all
