Complete destruction near Golden City MO

Forecasters put Bates County in the center of the bullseye for storms this week, unfortunately our neighbors to the south saw the brunt of it.

This was the home of 86-year-old Gene Harris and his 83-year-old wife, Opal. They were killed by the tornado that hit near Golden City, MO Wednesday night.

Devastation was not only limited to their farm, but spread from just northwest of Joplin into Jefferson City, where heavy damage was reported. Storms and more rain are forecast for the next 4-5 days as well.
