On May 4, 2007, the quiet farming community of Greensburg,
Kansas, was nearly entirely destroyed by an EF-5 tornado. When
people are in desperate need, others instinctively rush to help,
sometimes in very unique ways. This is how Project Greensburg was
born.
Project Greensburg
will be a
series of free public showings of the storm-chaser produced “Storms
of 2007” DVD in several cities across central Kansas. DVDs will be
for sale at these showings, and all profits raised at these special
events will be donated for disaster relief for the City of
Greensburg.
Natural disasters
attract a distinctive group of individuals who are awed by the power
of nature. For decades, "storm chasers" have pursued tornadoes,
hurricanes, and other severe storms, armed with video cameras and
other equipment. Some of these storm chasers have turned their
talents into a successful fundraiser to benefit storm victims - the
“Storms of 2007” DVD - and 100% of the profits are donated to
organizations and charities which help storm victims. Over 100
storms chasers collaborated to collect some of the most remarkable
video of the year for the DVD. The “Storms of 2007” DVD is the 4th
volume from the highly successful “Storms of” DVD series. Sales
from the first three DVDs have already raised over $20,000. The
majority of the profits for the DVDs have been donated to the
American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund.
