GOLDEN CITY, MO. (THECOUNT) — Betty Burg of Lamar, Missouri, has been identified as one of three victim killed after a powerful storm destroyed homes in southwest Missouri.
“Betty Betty” Burg, 56, Kenneth Harris, 86 and his 83-year-old wife, Opal, were found deceased about 200 yards from their home outside Golden City Wednesday night.
Berg’s husband, Mark, was seriously injured when their mobile home was destroyed just west of Golden City.
The storm also ripped a roof off a fertilizer plant in the area, prompting a precautionary evacuation of 1-mile radius because of a possible chemical leak, reports FOX2NOW.
Officials said Golden City itself had power lines and trees down but no serious injuries. The town is about 43 miles (69.2 kilometers) northeast of Joplin and close by Lamar, Missouri.
Friends and family members took to Facebook to remember the beloved woman:
