So a week ago I posted about Mark Schultz, the guy who is riding his bike across America on behalf of orphans and widows in need. If you don’t, you can read it here.

Anyway, since Mark and his crew were really close to Greensburg, KS, which is where they had that F5 tornado that almost completely destroyed the city of almost 2000 people, they thought they would tour the remains of the city and then do a benefit concert to raise money to help the city of Greensburg.

When they went to tour the city of Greensburg, they took there video camera that they are using to record Mark's whole trip, and took video of the city. I know that we have all seen pictures of the aftermath, but the video just add's a whole new level.

Watching the video, its almost hard to believe that only 12 people lost there life in this tornado. Just seeing the level of destruction (Ninety-five percent of the city was confirmed to be destroyed). Below is the video that Mark and his crew shot. All I can really say about the video is WOW.

My heart goes out to the family’s and friends of people in Greensburg, KS. I can not even think of what must it must be like to deal with something like this, and yet that is what they are doing.
