This was a house south of Greenburg, and a beginning of what was to come.

There were piles of debris and this piece of farm equipment upside down.

The steps were all that was left of this home.  It was strange how the storm destroyed some homes, and left others.

Messages were left in the houses.

Looking down the street, the scrapers marks show where they have picked up the debris. The houses that were there are only a memory now.

This house survived pretty well, and a board was requesting that it not be bulldozed.

This was typical of what most houses looked like as you passed them.

This house had been spray painted by the owners afterwards showing a sense of humor.
