The tornado that hit Greensburg, Kansas on May 5th has been rated a "5" on the Enhanced Fujita scale.The devastation is hard to imagine from news reports until you see pictures of the tornado that was estimated to be two miles (see doppler radar imagery) in width by NOAA's National Weather Service and essentially reduced the entire town to ruble.

MJ Harden, a GeoEye company, captured the following aerial images on May 12th at various resolutions.
