Bryan at Why Now? shares the link to Jeff Masters' weather site, where these pictures were found. Jeff Masters discusses the aftermath of the storms:
The severe storm action finally quieted down yesterday in Kansas and the Plains; only 11 reports of tornadoes were received, compared to 93 on Saturday and 33 on Friday. The severe weather action should stay at a slow simmer through Wednesday over the Plains; the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has portions of the region under its "Slight Risk" area for severe weather through Wednesday. Flooding is a major concern now; most of eastern Kansas, plus large portions of Oklahoma, Texas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, and South Dakota are under flood warnings. More heavy thunderstorm rains during the week are expected to add to the problem.
I think I'll stay in earthquake country....

How come whenever we get an earthquake, Pat Robertson tell us that God Hates Californians and that we bring it on. But whenever something horrible happens in Jebusland, he shuts his fat trap?
I feel sorry for KA - really, I do. I will stay here, living on the San Andreas fault than move to tornado alley.

Pat Robertson is really really creepy. He wants that Rapture to happen so badly, I wonder if he'd try to activate it. Wouldn't he be surprised as he gets left behind as not worthy?
It's awful. The town is laid out in a grid and is as flat as can be. People can even orient themselves to find their lots.
I hear you, Sorghum Crow! Read they couldn't even tell which way north was in the photos. Town in a blender...
Katrina did not do more damage to any comparable part of New Orleans than these storms did to Greensburg. Tornadoes have to be the worst. I've never lived in earthquake country, and we do get occasional tornadoes associated with hurricanes, but at least with a hurricane these days one gets some warning, and the associated tornadoes are usually fairly localized... and not nearly as destructive as those in Kansas.
It's scary: I suppose there's no place one can move to be safe from major disasters.
At the moment, nowhere is safe in the world with the F5 thing we've got in the White House...
