Greensburg, Kansas: Disaster Relief

On May 5, 2007, a tornado with 205 mph winds destroyed 95% of Greensburg, Kansas and devastated the entire community of 1,400 people. I believe the final toll was 12 dead. It would've been much worse if not for the 20 minute warning the town had due to the tornado sirens. Much help is needed. 961 single-family dwellings were destroyed, and 105 had major damage. Among businesses, 110 suffered heavy damage and 24 had minor damage. There is no power, water, or sewer in the entire town. The closest motels are 35 miles away.

I really can't wrap my mind around something like that. It kinda puts "wedding plan stress" in perspective.
