A TOWN IN REBUILDING - By John Hallen / SWS Severe Weather Analyst
The Town in Kansas Rebuilds "Green" after a Devastating Tornado, an F-5 "Fujita Scale 5" hit on, May 4th 2007, at 9:45 pm. The town of Greensburg was 95% destroyed. As the town residents pull together after this tragedy, the progress is amazing. In my travels just one week prior, I remember Greensburg "how it was". I was out there right after the disaster hit, I was blown away by what occured. This was the time of a turning point for what we do out there in storm research. SevereWarningSystems.com was born on the principals and solutions for early warning systems research. We are further planning an ongoing research plan for the possibility of tornado deterrent system.
Below are some pictures taken at the one year anniversary of this incredibly powerful tornado.

IN OUR INVITATION AND VISIT TO THIS TOUCHING EVENT, IT WAS AWESOME TO SEE THE PEOPLE OF GREENSBURG RALLY AS ONE BIG FAMILY. THERE WERE FESTIVITIES, FELLOWSHIP SERVICES, GREAT FOOD, AND MOST IMPORTANT, "HOW THIS TOWN WAS REBUILDING". GREENSBURG HAS DECIDED TO BUILD "ALL GREEN" WHICH MEANS THAT ALL THE MATERIALS USED IN THE REBUILDING WILL BE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY. PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH APPEARED TO SEE THE GRADUATING CLASS OF "2008" RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMA'S. WE WILL BE FOLLOWING UP WITH OUR CONTACTS IN GREENSBURG. ALSO SWS WILL BE DOING INTERVIEWS WITH A COUPLE OF RESIDENTS THAT HAVE SOME INTERESTING THINGS TO SAY FROM BEING "IN THE ZONE" AT THE TIME THIS TRAGEDY OCCURED. STAY TUNED FOR THIS COMING SOON. |
