99 tornado damage. photo by Kent V

Last night we heard the tornado warning sirens for what I believe was the first time this year excluding the Monday noon tests. Tornado season is approaching as is the 10th anniversary of the May 3rd tornado that devastated Haysville.
Our town has changed a lot in the past 10 years due in large part to the 1999 tornado. Visitors to Haysville would never know the destruction that was done but residents will never forget it.

Remembering the 1999 tornado…
Share your memories of that fateful night in May and the weeks that followed. Join in on the discussion of the 1999 Haysville tornado.
Kansas.com has has a video interview and slide show with former Mayor Tim Norton remembering that historic evening.

After hearing the stories of this furry creature I decided I had to see him for myself. After many long days and nights in the cold and wind, stalking him, at times even if he were to appear, my finger to cold to push the shutter button of the camera. Today my persistence pays off. No longer just a legend or myth. I introduce to you “The Haysville Beaver”.

Weve received a couple of reports of a beaver being spotted in Riggs park along the Cowskin Creek. Weve also received one report of a fox seen in the park.

No photo proof of these animals yet but I did spot what appears to be a beaver chewed tree on a recent stroll on the walking path.
