Greensburg
On May 4th, 2007, Greensburg, Kansas was hit by an EF5 tornado, the most powerful and devastating storm possible; perhaps one of the worst tornados in American history. This twister packed winds of over 200-miles-per-hour and destroyed nearly every inch of Greensburg, including churches, schools, homes, all municipal buildings, and the hospital. In thirty minutes, the town of Greensburg was turned to ruins.

In the film, Greensburg, producer, writer and director, Brian Schodorf travels back to his native state of Kansas to document the destruction. Schodorf talks to Sebelius, FEMA, weather experts, and the people of Greensburg who are now struggling to restore what is left of their lives. After all the deaths, sadness, and destruction, the spirit and courage to rebuild survived. Schodorf captures the spirit of this small town as residents tell their stories of loss and survival.

If I had to live here, I would dig a deep basement and use reinforced concrete for everything including 1st floor, maybe have 3ft thick walls and steel window covers made of 2" thick steel.

I wonder would it survive?
