Greensburg, Kansas
When Greensburg residents first set out to assess the damage left behind by an EF5 tornado, they discovered a station wagon perched atop their courthouse, along with shattered windows, a missing roof, and soggy, rain-soaked interiors. The historic structure had suffered major damage, but the town was committed to restoring it to its original character.
