At 9:41 pm the National Weather Service office in Dodge City issued a rare Tornado emergency for Greensburg. A tornado emergency is the highest tornado alert possible and is used only for extremely life–threatening situations when a large and likely violent tornado is on the ground and approaching a population centre
Hours after the tornado hit, Greensburg was judged unsafe and was fully evacuated.

95% of the city of Greensburg was destroyed by an EF5 tornado. The supercell killed at least 13 people. 60 people were injured in Greensburg alone.
25 tornadoes were confirmed that night. The outbreak did not end there; a total of 84 tornadoes were confirmed reported on May 5 in the same area.
It's hard to enjoy the fascination of storm chasing when people are getting hurt.
