One person remains the hospital after a deadly tornado in Barron County, our Eau Claire NBC affiliate WEAU is reporting.

Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said the person is an adult female in serious condition. She was at Prairie Lake Estates mobile home park when the tornado came through and destroyed her mobile home, he said.

The tornado left one person, Eric Gavin, dead Tuesday evening after it tore through the mobile home park.

Sheriff Fitzgerald is also asking for more volunteers in Barron County to help people recover from the tornado.
