Area Counties Wait to Hear if Eligible for Disaster Relief
MARYSVILLE, Kan. (AP) - Officials in Marshall and Nemaha Counties are waiting to hear if they will be eligible for disaster relief to recover from last month's storms.
An EF-2 tornado hit Marshall County on May 27, causing significant damage to two businesses and 28 homes in the Marysville area. Tornadoes also touched down in Nemaha County on May 28 and flooding was reported across the region after rains of 9 to 12 inches.
The Topeka Capital-Journal reports the storms did not cause any serious injuries, but a preliminary estimate determined the storms did between $5 million and $6 million damage.
Marshall and Nemaha counties declared a state of disaster emergency after the storms. The area needs to document a minimum of $3.9 million in damages to meet the threshold for state aid.
