On the night of May 4th, 2007, Greensburg Kansas (population 1600 at the time) was leveled by an EF5 tornado. Ninety-five percent of the town was destroyed and 11 people lost their lives. It was the first tornado to be given a classification of "5" on the Enhanced Fujita scale went into effect earlier that year. The town has since been rebuilt into a "green town", running mostly on wind turbines.
