*The clock strikes 9:45 PM on May 4th, 2007, in Greensburg, Kansas. A monstrous supercell dominates the sky, its flashes illuminating a funnel wider than the town itself. The NWS Dodge City issues a desperate emergency alert. Winds exceeding 200 mph begin to dismantle the heart of the community. This is the first official EF5, a 1.7-mile-wide beast of destruction, heralding even larger storms to come in Trousdale and Hopewell. The roar is deafening as the wall cloud descends. What will you do against this EF5?*
