The swath of more than 100 tornadoes that swept across theplains over the weekend apparently caused little disruption ordamage to credit unions, but member losses have yet to be counted,CUNA Mutual Group reported Monday.

CUNA Mutual staffers from its property division said thatdespite the tornadoes hitting six states, “we've only had a handfulof reports on lost shingles, broken windows and wind damage,” saidMichael Retelle, head of disaster claims for CUNA Mutual's CUMISProperty & Casualty Claims unit.

As it has in the past, the CUMIS team used news services towatch the storms' progress over the weekend, “and we could see thatit was small municipalities where there are few credit unions thatwere most affected,” Retelle said.

The CUNA Mutual field team also “reached out to state leaguesand individual credit unions to identify areas where the need mightbe greatest and perhaps areas where we've lost communicationbecause of downed cell towers,” Retelle said.

Gary Jones, president/CEO of the Credit Union Association ofOklahoma, said there are no credit unions in the hardest-hitcommunity of Woodward or in Cherokee at the Oklahoma/Kansasline.

“But let me tell you I was very heartened when we got that callfrom some CUNA representative and their first question, 'Have therebeen any injuries to credit union employees?” said Jones. Therewere none.

The Kansas Credit Union Association said parts of suburbanWichita saw extensive damage but there were no reports of creditunion damage. The Iowa Credit Union League also said it had noreports of damage at its member institutions.
