Some roofers are looking to col- lect money up front and they may or may not finish the work. At the least, Lamb said citizens should buy roofing supplies for the roofers rather than just giv- ing them the money up front. “We’ve got roofing contrac- tors out of the woodwork coming around like they do. People, talk to your insurance people first. That’s your first call. Talk to them. Let them try to line up something,” Chapman said. Charlie Morse, Labette County Emergency Management director, and Brandy Grassl, the county’s 911 director and Emergency Man- agement coordinator, said govern- ment entities who wish to lend a hand should register at the Law Enforcement Center in Oswego. Other volunteers are not needed in Oswego now. Grassl said the American Red Cross showed up Sunday night and dropped off a pallet of water for distribution. The Oswego Fire Department was going to deliver that Monday. The Red Cross also offered aid to families whose homes were de- stroyed in the storm or inaccessi- ble because of no electricity. One person accepted the assistance, Grassl said. Others made arrange- ments to stay with others. Grassl said some of the damaged homes were on the city’s demolition list. Grassl serves on the Oswego City Council. Chapman was impressed with how quickly Evergy restored power to the grid. “The electric companies did a fabulous job,” Chapman said. The county commission is- sued a seven-day disaster decla- ration on Monday because of the storm. The declaration allows the county to recoup federal di- saster funds if damage was great enough. Several Oswego residents com- mented on the neighbor-help- ing-neighbor attitude on Saturday and Sunday. Chain saws were busy and people rolled out of their homes to remove debris from roadways and yards. Dawn Gilliland said she and her father were blessed that their home was not damaged. The elec- trical box was pulled away from the house, however. She wit- nessed many neighbors helping one another. “This is a pretty good little community. Everyone is out and about, chipping in and helping and chain saws are a going,” Gil- liland said. “This is amazing.” Chetopa, Parsons damage Chetopa received wind and hail on Saturday also, but unlike Os- wego, there was no major dam- age, City Clerk Toni Crumrine said. She said there are probably a lot of roofs and vehicles in town damaged by the hail, and some city vehicles are among those that were pummeled. Other than that, there were just a lot of limbs and branches down throughout the city. Crumrine said residents can pile their limbs and branches near the street, and city workers will pick them up and haul them to the city brush dump when they can. Parsons didn’t receive any hail and there was no major damage, but there were lots of limbs down throughout the city. Derek Clev- enger, city utilities director, said workers had to remove limbs from impassable streets on Saturday evening after the storm. The city sent two workers to Oswego to help with cleanup there. Brush in Parsons must be cut to 4-foot lengths and bundled and tied together with a diameter of 1 foot or less for the city to haul to its tree dump. Parsons residents can haul their own limbs and branches to the tree dump with- out having to bundle them, and the city has extended the hours for the tree dump. Normally open only 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Sat- urday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Mon- day, the dump also will be open 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday and Friday this week. The tree dump is located east of the trash trans- fer station south of Parsons on the east side of U.S. 59. The storm According to the weather ser- vice in Wichita, the thunderstorm Saturday had caused damage to counties to the north as it rolled south to southeast. It grew in in- tensity over Oswego, where a sus- pected microburst created strong gusts of wind and snapped trees from their roots. Large hail was a feature of this storm, with reports of golf ball to baseball-sized chunks of ice fall- ing. Meteorologist Vanessa Pearce in Wichita said the 100 mph wind estimate in the storm may be too high based on photos of the damage from Emergency Man- agement in Labette County. The NWS thinks the wind may have been in the 80s or perhaps 90s. But that assessment is still be worked out. Parsons had winds clocked at 61 mph northwest of the city. Pearce said Neosho County re- ceived damage from the wind and hail from this storm as well. Because of the COVID-19 pan- demic, Pearce said NWS staff won’t do in-person assessments of storm damage unless request- ed.
