Udall Kansas marks a decade since a devastating tornado that killed 82 people and left 10 houses habitable. The town built storm shelters for over 90 percent of homes and installed a citywide four quadrant telephone alert system with sirens and a lookout tower. Mayor Jerrold Hoffman led the effort, wiring alerts to about 150 farms and planning a commercial rollout for the device. Every Udall home football game is played atop the debris mound remaining from the disaster.
