Pictures can't do it any justice no matter the resolution.
In 2007 a nearly 2 mile wide tornado rated EF5 (the most powerful) decimated 95% of my mile wide home town. It's claim to fame - The World's Largest Hand Dug Well. The Well was opened as a tourist attraction 50 years after it was dug, with steps zig-zagging from the top to the water level. After the tornado, the stairs were built into a circular form to resemble the tornado. Greensburg rebuilt itself into a Green Town with energy saving buildings and several wind fans to power the town.
