POST 1305; APRIL 29, 2014; GREENSBURG, KANSAS


Todat, I did not walk.

On May 04, 2007, the town og GREENSBURG was wiped from the face of Earth by a tornado.

The damage has been cleared away.  A small fraction has been rebuilt.

The following photographs are a progression from long ago to today, depicting the same general street locations...
