Greensburg

EF5 Tornado

In 2007, an EF5 tornado tore through Greensburg, Mississippi. The winds speeds were up to 250 miles per hour. It left the longest damage path ever, since May third, when an EF5 took apart St. Louis. About 90 percent of Greensburg was destroyed. The tornado was about half a mile wide and the largest tornado that Greensburg ever saw. What caused the tornado was a warm front collided with moist air  No one expected the tornado, it hit by surprise. The next time you see Greensburg now you know what happened
