Today is the 18th anniversary of the 2007 Greensburg EF5, so I figured I’d share a few more of the things I’ve got from that day.
Here’s an area that was completely devastated south of US-54, multiple homes were completely leveled or swept cleanly away. Contextual damage was extraordinary, debris granulation, total tree debarking, extreme vehicle damage, etc. The home pictured at bottom had significant damage to its concrete block foundation and porch walkway.
Perhaps most impressive, this large brick and masonry constructed church that had been converted to a home was essentially flattened to the ground.
More aerial photographs from neighborhoods north of US-54.
Some stuff from the southern part of town. The first image shows wind-rowing of debris towards the center of the vortex which passed 1/4 mile to the north, made visible by the scouring at the top of the image from right to left.
A home that was essentially wiped out of existence in a residential area of town. Note the low-lying vegetation completely stripped nearby.
