Local news is saying that the southern half of the town is gone and they are now looking for people that are still in storm shelters that are covered by debris.

I’m not aware of anything serious in the Chetopa city limits.

Picher, Ok. is another story. The town was in the process of being evacuated anyway through buyouts. The whole area is at risk for cave-ins from underground lead and zinc mining. As a side note, Mickey Mantle grew up only a few miles away.

This will probably accelerate the end of Picher.
