50-60 families lost homes
By Sydney Albert
CELINA - Mercer County Emergency Management Agency Director Mike Robbins predicted the community still has a long road to recovery after Monday's tornado as the immediate relief efforts are starting to conclude.

CELINA - Brad Schwieterman glanced out at his family's field, devoid of crops and still damp from the morning's rain.
Like many farmers in the area, Schwieterman has yet to plant any corn due to the recent heavy rains in the region.
The downpours have kept the lifelong farmer from hauling manure onto the fields and has placed him more than four weeks behind schedule for planting. Schwieterman said he'd normally be done planting by this time of year. [More]
