Thread: ARIAL SHOTS of the Greenburg, Ks. Tornado aftermath

I just received these arial shots of Greenburg, Kansas from my little sister in Amarillo, Texas.
It`s like a "Dry Katrina" except there`s not much left to rebuild.

It is heartbreaking what that town endured.
I heard a reporter say that you can count the buildings in that town left standing on one hand.
And entire community just gone.
I saw video of that tornado and it was just horrible. This was an EF 5 tornado. The very worst of the worst!
By the way, is fema there? Is the American Red Cross there?
I am only asking because I have seen nothing about that on the news yet.
My heart goes out to those Americans.

Proud,

The Fed gov is screwing up again.

That was an F5?

Had to be an F5, the path of destruction is very wide and damage shows winds above 200 mph

As a kansas native this breaks my heart, i had friend growing up from Haviland which was also damanged by the tornado.

Yes it sounds like an F5 to me and the Fed should be all over it, not really sure if they are. Perhaps George Bush doesn't care about white people either.....

on a serious note reconstruction will begin soon so you can pretty much kiss Greensburg as it was formerly known goodbye, although it was a small town my guess is that contractors will import the labor to rebuild homes driving out refugees and overlooking locals who could use the money and the lifiting spirit of helping rebuild their town.

In a report on the news they said that they had recently revamped their rating system EF 5 is even stronger then F5 on that list.
Winds over 200 miles per hour. The base of it was 1.5 miles wide and it stayed on the groud for a horrendous 22 miles.

Now I`m glad that I took the CERTs training classes while in California.

Baraka Obama said in a speech that 10,000 people died, when in fact it was 10.


The MinuteMenHQ sent me a List of supplies needed, from trailers to Diapers.
