I am from Jewell KS originally with family there still. There were only a couple stitches needed, everyone safe. Several homes totally destroyed from the county line to Jewell. Several businesses damaged and a couple totally destroyed. Lots of cleanup left to do.

I like your website. Thanks for posting news about a rural area.

News in rural areas of the Central States is no less important to me than the urban areas.

Thanks for reading!
