Storm Chase 2009
On our drive south we stopped in Greensburg, Kansas. Greensburg was hit two years ago (May 2007) by a devastating EF 5 tornado. It was the first EF 5 tornado since the Fujita scale was updated. It leveled 95% of the city and the other 5% was severely damaged. Sadly 11 people lost their lives to this horrific event. The tornado was estimated to be around 1.7 miles wide and it traveled 22 miles.
