Greensburg, Kansas: Gamble Farms

Kim's living room is used for school board meetings now

Tornado debris on the walls

No point cleaning it as it will all have to be removed

Paperwork is endless

How do you fit a harvest worth of groceries in one fridge?

Katelynn and her friend Ryan save the toads

Gamble's North Home for their hired hand will be moved in soon

Old home will have to be destroyed

Plenty of burn piles remain

And metal piles

Meanwhile, they had to sell a lot of cattle due to no pasture and no fence

Entering town, I can immediately see the progress combined with the contrast of no progress

Lot after lot is clean with debris still to be removed pushed to the front

I must have passed this house a hundred times the first week and did not remember it was standing

Mennonites continue to offer great help to this community

New street signs; it is actually harder now to find our way around than after the tornado

Notice the trees and portable bathrooms

Some parts of town smell like broken wood and others smell like death

Plenty still to be cleaned up

Each brick is saved and cleaned

Apparently, the bricks are worth enough to do this

Lot after lot is a hole where a home and basement used to be

And I wonder where they will get enough dirt to fill the holes

And Kim says there are places selling fill dirt and the owner is responsible

Many lots still have the foundation

And the tress are still full of debris

The hospital

I am sure before harvest ends, Kim will see the inside

John Deere dealer is opened for business

And some homes have made great progress

Some lots have been bought

And some houses have sold
