close In the evening of May 4, 2007 one of the most powerful tornadoes ever recorded struck Greensburg Kansas, most of the town was destroyed. These three galleries are from visits I made for the Kansas Press Association to provide photographs for their member newspapers. The town is slowly recovering but it is a long slow process that will take years to complete. If you want to help please take a look at the South Central Kansas Tornado Recovery Operation Web site.
