Holy Crap. Mile-wide tornado? From that and the radar, I would guess that it is at least EF-4. That cell I amazing. Did it go throught that city (greenburg, KS)? It will be interesting to see damage reports.

One of the local mets was talking to a storm chaser there.... Very large tornado. There's definite destruction as the storm chaser was helping people out of their homes.

I was looking on Google on information about Greensburg. Unfortunately, there is a trailer park there. However, I think it's an RV trailer park. From the information, there are only 69 mobile homes in Greensburg.

Should be in Trousdale about now

HurricaneBill · #51 Postby **HurricaneBill** » Fri May 04, 2007 10:48 pm

Fortunately, Trousdale is pretty much a ghost town.

those few people however, likely are sleeping. Or can't hear it coming over the hail and rain.

Those who are asleep, hate to say, likely won't wake up if they don't have a NOAA weather radio.

It does not matter how many people are in and around the town... There are lives at stake.

Being a Friday night in the spring, there may be some there...

KSN reports 60% of Greensburg is gone.

Medical crews headed to the town, but no reports of injuries or fatalities yet.

Against this, they don't stand a chance unless theres a sturdy shelter.

My prayers go out to everybody in this monsters path.
