Kansas communities are recovering after multiple thunderstorms and tornado warnings from Wednesday. One tornado did a lot of damage in Rawlins County, and it destroyed a historic schoolhouse. “That structure was actually built in 1898,” said Gary Kasten while talking about the historic schoolhouse. Kasten and his family own the land the Walsh schoolhouse sat on. His sister, June Hesterman, said it was one of two one-room schoolhouses that were left standing in the county. Back in 2014, the family refurbished the schoolhouse, but Wednesday’s tornado wiped away their countless hours of work. “That building is gone, it was removed from the foundation, and we hauled the remnants (Thursday),” Kastens said. “It’s pretty devastating, the power of a tornado is just unbelievable to me.”
