1. After the F5 that wiped out

Greensberg, KS I was a relief worker and was at the "encampment" in the city park every evening. The animal rescue center was set up at some facility on the adjacent property, I went there every day to talk to all the animals being sheltered there and hoped that they all were reclaimed. Not sure how that all worked out since there were so many homes destroyed.

I still haven't forgotten what that looked and felt like, just being there was enough to realize how horrible it was and that rebuilding all those lives was going to be a monumental task for everyone there or involved. One sight I do recall is the line of dump trucks extending as far as I could see hauling the debris away all day, every day and the painted markings on the walls of the few buildings on the perimeter after they had been checked for survivors or bodies.

This is a truly heartwarming story.
