My mom was from Kinsley and my dad is from Greensburg, the town that got blown away not long ago. They were there last week and were devastated at what they saw. We all loved to go to the pharmacy when we'd visit because they still had the old-fashioned soda fountain. It's gone, along with the Big Well attraction and dad's high school. My uncle lives about four miles out of town and they were not affected, but I guess the town is still under marshall law and you have to have a pass to get into town. All of my dad's cousins are okay; some lost everything, others fared well. Keep prayers up for that community. It is the county seat, so they will rebuild, but a lot of people have already bought in Pratt, according to my dad. I've thought several times about moving back, just to get out of the hectic city life. And now, with hurricane season upon us, it sounds even better! |
