Greensburg Tornado Survivors Say a Future is Possible

5:43 p.m. CDT, June 3, 2011

In 2007, the people of Greensburg, Kansas went through the same devastation as people in Joplin, Mo. and Reading, Kan. An EF-5 tornado ripped through the town destroying 95-percent of it. Eleven people died and dozens more were hurt, but Greensburg is now on the road to recovery.

Before the tornado, 1400 people called Greensburg home. Now the population is about 800. The town recently gave tours to city leaders from Tuscalossa, Alabama. They are one of several cities that are facing an uncertain future.
