Drove through Reading a few weeks back. Most of the tornado damage was cleaned up, houses bulldozed, trees trimmed, but there were still a few big things to go.
The Reading Methodist Church where many residents took refuge that night – May 21.
The Tightwad Bank building still stands. Currently it is operating out of a building in Osage City.
The park.
You wrote about people taking shelter in a church, has allways been wondering me, do you people have something like a safe room or shelter in or near your homes.
Something else, is it possible to have your property insured against a storm like a tornado?
Many, but not all, houses in Kansas have basements. And to survive EF-4/5 tornadoes, a person really needs to go underground.
Yes, you can insure your homes. There’s no specific “tornado insurance,” but just regular insurance usually covers the house and contents.
