The tornado cut a 1.25-mile long swath through town. Flanders, who is a member of the First United Methodist Church, said her church was serving as an insurance center in which survivors could meet with insurance representatives. Survivors are being housed in the city hall auditorium. Response team members from the Kansas West United Methodist Conference were on the scene by Saturday night. A Church World Service disaster resource facilitator will visit the area Tuesday.
Local pastors are on site at city hall to offer support for survivors.
Everybody knows everybody here. The Church of the Nazarene's parsonage was completely destroyed, and the sanctuary lost windows, said member Eldred Marsh. The Cordordia Lutheran Church also reported broken windows, and the First United Methodist Church sustained minor damage. How you can help 1. Pray for people in communities affected by tornadoes.
