On May 4, 2007, a deadly tornado struck Greensburg, Kansas, ripping the town to shreds.Still, the spirit of the citizens of Greensburg are what make the journey most inspirational, as they are ordinary, everyday people of great character who choose to face adversity head on and create a better life for themselves.
With more than 1,500 people displaced by a tornado and scores waiting to return to their homes, Pilgrim Films is on the ground in Greensburg, KS creating a documentary of the destruction and green rebirth of the town. Pilgrim Films Executive Producer Kathryn Takis answered some questions for Planet Green on the anniversary of the tornado.
CBS' The Early Show was in Greensburg to help with the reconstruction and to document the action via their series, "Tragedy to Triumph: Greensburg Rising."
The warning sirens that went off in Greensburg on May 4, 2007, signaled what could have been the end of this small Kansas town. Almost two years later, President Barack Obama called Mayor Bob Dixson to Washington, DC, to honor Greensburg's efforts.
