Wadena Clean-up Continues

The number of structures damaged by the June 17th Wadena tornado is expected to hit 268, according to city spokesperson Judy Jacobs. 

She tells KLKS News, the Community Center is Gone, the fairgrounds has be decimated and it's not known if the high school can be repaired.

Jacobs says 2000 dump trucks full of debris has been taken to the old airport site for temporary storage.

The city still needs volunteers to help with the clean-up.  All volunteers are asked to register with the city first.  The number to call is 1-800-543-7709 or 211. 

The city also needs cash donations which can be made to:
Wadena Tornado Relief Fund
c/o Mid-Central Federal Savings Bank
PO Box 152
