Haysville Online

A couple of carp in the remaining shallow water of Haysville’s Riggs Park pond. The pond was recently drained for maintenance.

And on a lighter note… I hope all these little houses and their occupants survived the recent storm.

Last nights tornado appears to have clipped the South and East edges of Haysville. Damage could be seen in the areas around 79th street South between Meridian and Broadway and 71st street South between Broadway and Hydraulic. The homes in the latter area seem to receive the worst damage. Most other areas appeared to have trees and fences down. The good news is I have yet to hear of any fatalities or even injuries in our immediate area.

If youve lived in Haysville for some time you probably know how traumatic and devastating this can be. Our hearts go out to those affected by last nights storm.

If you are in need of assistance call the United Way of the Plains at 211.

If you would like to help in some way, I would suggest you contact the American Red Cross

A seventeen-year-old Campus High School senior named Katie was at work Thursday night when she received a surprising phone call from her sister.

“Colton just opened your box on national television,” said Katies sister. “I was just like, this is some kind of sick joke. You’re joking.” Her sister responded that she was serious. “I just stared jumping up and down, was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.”

Id always known about this debris from the 99 tornado in the Historic Park but wasnt aware of the above until the sign was placed.
