Tornado! Up from the Debris

Tornado! Up from the Debris to Thank God Personal Accounts of the Greensburg Kansas Tornado May 4, 2007 was compiled by Greensburg resident Fern (Mrs. Eric) Unruh.

From the back cover of the book:

"An EF-5 tornado plundered through the farming community of Greensburg, Kansas on May 4, 2007; stripping it bare of homes, businesses, huge trees, and entire farmsteads. In its wake, only a pile of debris was left as evidence of what was once a peaceful existence. Miraculously, only twelve people lost their lives.

"As they pulled themselves up from the debris, it was with great thankfulness to God who spared their lives. This book is the account of what happened that day, and in the days following. It is their 'thank you' to all those 'ministering angels' who helped them in so many ways to dig out of the debris."

This is absolutely amazing stories starting minutes prior to the tornado strike to months after, during the reconstruction of homes and the town.

It details the power of God to protect during this terrible storm of life, the faithfulness of the people being tested and the thankfulness of the people that came through. It is an inspiring story from many people who suffered and survived and are now thriving.
