This is unbelievable. We drove through this town last July. It’s 133 miles from where I grew up. The town is/was roughly the same size as my hometown, in rural Kansas. It’s a small farming community. Everything about Greensburg reminds me of Caldwell.
It’s gone. I was just watching a news conference with the city administrator who said that 95% of the town is gone. 95%. That’s an incredible number. I can’t help but be emotional when thinking about this. Their lives have been completely turned over. I heard that both the middle school and high school have been destroyed. These schools are typically the pride of the community and they’ve been taken away.
It’s too hard to write about it. I’m watching live coverage from here. Go watch and see what’s happened.
