A VERY "GREEN" GREENSBURG

This Memorial is a sad reminder of lives lost but also an amazing statement of so many who survived.

Greensburg has always been known for its Big Well. A beautiful building, also very "green", will be housing this Well in a couple of years.

These steps remained standing but the building was flattened.

A new Greensburg water tower was also erected after the original was taken down.

Mary and I left Dodge City on a beautiful Saturday morning.

We were heading to Wichita, but stopped on our road trip in a small town, Greensburg.

What an amazing town, so much to learn from this small town's devastating ordeal.

May 4, 2007, a community of 1,400 people, were hit by a Monster Tornado at 9:50 PM.

This tornado, 1.7 miles in width, came barrelling through the town at 205 m.p.h.

The National Weather Service team were able to give the citizens of Greensburg a 20 minute notice. Eleven people died. The town was demolished, 90% gone.

The towns people who decided to remain, and rebuild, are creating a very "Green" Greensburg.

Totally amazing what they have done with many supporter's.

Their efforts are still being realized. Much more to come!

I reccomend this town to anyone's agenda..so inspiring!
