Twice in his life, city water plant foreman Jon Showalter has seen destruction caused by a major disaster.
As a child, Showalter said he remembers seeing the aftermath after a tornado struck Topeka in 1966.
Years later, in 1979, he helped clean up after a train derailed in Lawrence.
Now, with a truck and 400 electrical meters donated by the city of Eudora, he’s going into chaos for a third time.
He’ll be gone a week traveling to the tornado-wrecked town of Greensburg joined by electrical lineman Ken Latshaw.

For those looking to kill summer boredom, the Eudora Parks and Recreation department has a few ideas.
The department offers both ongoing programs and a few new startups to help keep people of all ages in shape.
Residents will also get the opportunity to experience a new pool funded by a $3.8 million bond passed last August. In the fall, the city will open a recreation center also included in the bond.
