A massive derecho wind storm struck Cedar Rapids, Iowa, causing extensive damage to corn crops and leaving neighborhoods without power for six days. Local farmers report hurricane-level gusts that destroyed graineries and flattened fields. Criticism is directed at national news outlets and the Trump administration for failing to provide adequate disaster reporting or emergency response while focusing on political narratives.
CBS reporter Dean Reynolds visits a Trump rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, to interview "Front Row Joes" and other steadfast supporters.
