  It wiped the city of Greensburg out. Greensburg is about a 100+ miles from where I live. Now, every wall cloud that I see will be scaring the hell out of me. We have a wall cloud now! Here's the picture:

  Tornado was an EF-5; FEMA's help expected

  Eagle staff

  As rain fell softly in Greensburg on Sunday, work crews sifted through the rubble looking for more victims, bulldozers leveled unstable structures, and spray-painted orange V's on vacant houses and street names on the asphalt so people know where they were.

  With speeds up to 200 mph, it was earliest twister in state history

  Hopefully, the video will work! The tornadoes in this film are not of the one in Greensburg.

  I am a amatuer radio operator that was the reason I got into it at the age of 13 but quickly got out of it. I am afraid of lightning much less tornadoes. That and I was never good at it.
