Kansas Tornado Aftermath

The power of Mother Nature was evident this weekend when a tornado devastated Greensburg, Kansas. The aerial pictures of the aftermath of the tornado instantly reminded me of the villages wiped out by the 2004 Tsunami in South East Asia.
Entire blocks were wiped out with little left standing or remaining. It has officially been confirmed that the tornado was an EF-5, or simply put, the largest on the scale with wind speeds over 200 MPH. So far, I believe the death toll is 8.
