It has been a tragic and eventful week in our area, marked by a series of unfortunate incidents.

A two-year-old child tragically drowned in a creek near Cawker City, coinciding with a tornado in the same vicinity.

We have also lost a four-year-old child from Geary County.

Furthermore, a major accident on Interstate 70 resulted in the loss of two lives and left a child seriously injured in Wabaunsee County.

Additionally, a tornado struck the western outskirts of Riley, causing damage to several homes and farms, but thankfully resulting in no injuries.

These incidents serve as a poignant reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. They also underscore the need to value the time we have with our loved ones, as it can be taken away in an instant. Amidst the grief, anger, and sadness felt by the families and friends of the victims, it is essential to acknowledge the importance of appreciating the time we have and the moments we share with our loved ones. I request that you keep these families and individuals in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this challenging time.

Updated at 3:15 am: Two teams arrived approximately 2:25 am last night as they awaited the first responders to speak to the two team members of KSCE. After the law enforcement arrived and spoke to them, they were informed that they needed to release volunteers to return home because everyone had been there since 7 am on Friday morning, working tirelessly. The law enforcement also advised them to return home or keep an eye on social media posts for updates.

Our thoughts are with the families; we have deployed two team members to assist with the search and rescue operation for a missing child. Please keep the family in your thoughts.

We are currently looking for a missing 4 year old child in the 1900 block of Swenson Rd. If you are trying to assist in the search please check in at 1952 Swenson Rd. Before you start your search
