About 50 Comfrey residents stayed in Springfield area hotels on Sunday night. A shelter was set up at Springfield Public School in Springfield on Monday. All shelters will be open Monday night. Four more are en route from Iowa and Wisconsin. Right now we have Red Cross volunteers and staff at various locations from across the state doing mass care, family service, damage assessment, sheltering and feeding, Peterson says.
Additional staff continues to arrive on site.
Sirens in the region sound loud enough so that smaller communities can pick up on the noise.
