Four children were told are from one family, were not sure what that family has been providing, yet we do know the red cross is on scene at this point. And along with those four children, that were killed, four other people have been confirmed injured. Were not sure what the status of those folks are, as well, but including that number, eight homes damaged, four children killed, four more people injured, and 42 people displaced.
