The tornado that damaged more than more than 1,000 buildings in south-central Kansas generated winds up to 165 mph and carved a path of destruction nearly 13 miles long.

ELON, Va. - A staple club in Elon has yet to open, and officials with the Ruritan club say theyll need the community's help to do it. After an EF3 tornado tore the building apart in April last year the group had to rebuild. Ruritan officials had hoped to open the doors this fall but are now looking towards Jan 1. The group created a GoFundMe page to help with the cost. Well certainly put it to good use for which it was intended, said Elon Ruritan Club President Barry Tucker.
