Looks like Greensburg, Kansas is gone...

[Baker]

I live in a sister town to Greensburg and have been working tornado relief since Sunday after the tornado. Eleven families in our church family lost everything and a friend was killed. My son is 6th generation to live in Kansas in this area so needless to say I'm familiar with tornados. But Kansas is a wonderful place to live because of the people! Look at the people that have been interviewed on TV - no whining about the government not doing this or that, no begging for help - just the attitude that "we will be OK". This is truly the attitude of all the survivors that are coming into our relief center. The feds have told us to becareful of fraud and people will be taking advantage of us but our biggest challenge is getting a proud people to accept help!
Yes we have tornados - but we don't have hurricanes, earthquakes, mudslides, forrest fires, etc. and you can hide from a tornado!
I've only been in one earthquake but I would take a tornado, instead, any day.
As to building back with stick houses- I agree! I see no sense in doing that but I also understand that we have talked and researched for years until we got to the point of making the committment to the dome and these people have had just 2 weeks to realize that their whole existance has just changed. So to try to wrap their mind around something else that is completely new and foreign is overwhelming and they want to get back to "normal" as quickly as possible.
For me? We are going underground with a dome. It will have lots of glass but it will also have a safe area and I can hardly wait to be snuggled in safely!
Sorry this was so long! Release from a couple of weeks of stress!

It is unbelievable how many people I have heard from about the "tornado". Obviously the school would be first choice to be rebuilt as a dome. Many who have contacted me have written or contacted school people. etc.

But not an inquiry from Greensburg. But We all have to remember they have to gather themselves first. This has been a very traumatic event.

Over time they will get it figured out. DBS

HMMM, just a thought but maybe you could put together a quick reaction team for this sort of thing. People who could fly or drive down and volunteer for a couple of weeks to get some shells up. Coordinate with the Red Cross or FEMA something.
I, for one, would be interested in giving back a bit if the need arose.
I would not want to set it up but I would seriously consider showing up on my own dime.

Well we don’t get much in the way of Zombies in Scotland though I have heard the folk up north on the islands are a bit stange

Ever heard the song, "Re: Your Brains" ?
