Catching Up on the Tornado

It has been a while since I posted a Kansas update, so today I went crazy and you'll find several posts below showing some updates from the land of great wind.

Sunday marks six months since the tornado hit, and although I'm sure it still feels like a massive task ahead to those in the middle of it, so much has been done in these six months! You'll see in the pictures below that new buildings are in progress and temporary housing is in place and functioning.

Just as a note...this month's issue of Guideposts magazine has an article about another minister in Greensburg. Not my brother-in-law, but one of his friends. I think he is/was the Methodist pastor. I've not seen the magazine yet, but Lori said to be sure and look at it!
Secondly - tomorrow night (Halloween night) - the Discovery Channel's Storm Chasers episode is supposed to be about the Greensburg tornado. It's an hour long program that runs from 10-11. I was on the Discovery channel website today and saw that if you miss it, you can catch up with it at 2 a.m. the next night or a few other times in the coming days. I'm not sure what all it will entail, but I know it will be on.

And speaking of the Discovery channel - they're preparing a documentary series which I think has 13 segments - about the rebuilding of Greensburg. My brother-in-law had an interview with somebody about that. Don't know if it was a footage interview or just facts that will be relayed. I haven't been able to find anything out about when it will air - probably not for a while. But it's out there in the future.

And to start your little photo tour of the post-tornado Greensburg....a rosebush from in front of the Mennonite church. It came back to life!
