We sat all day in Greensburg 12 months ago and decided to move away south to intercept the storms. That evening a tornado one and a half mile wide completely flattened that town, killing 19 and making 1200 people homeless. We called back through there yesterday and the team went quiet. Although there is some rebuilding. The town is desolate full of empty streets. As far as I can gather most of the towns people did not have insurance. Sites where people lived, gew up, laughed and played now go to ruin. Cellars where some people would have been huddled together on that night lay exposed.

Gentle reminder. Over the passed 7 days at least two tornadic storms passed over Greensburg
