Greensburg, KS

by Mandi

I’m behind the times on this one–I don’t watch the news. But I’m completely dumbfounded at the devastation a tornado left in its wake.

I heard this morning that 95% of the town was completely destroyed. You can see more photos of the damage here.

Eleven people were killed. At least, eleven have been found and confirmed dead. That’s nearly 1% of the town’s entire population of 1,400 (1,574 in 2000, and estimated 11% loss since then).  

I can’t imagine the loss that the people of Greensburg are experiencing. Everything is gone.

God help them.
