Greensburg World Premier
Back in May 2007 the town of Greensburg, located in Kansas was leveled by one of the largest tornadoes in United States history.
The tornado was an EF5 and very few structures remained in this town. More than 1,500 people were displaced and were waiting to be placed into homes.
Discovery Networks has been very inspired by the passion of the town and its residents insistence on rebuilding. Planet Green, one of the newest networks under the Discovery umbrella, will chronicle the rebuilding of the town as an environment conscious town with the new series Greensburg.
The eco-friendly series is executive produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. He believes that the “chance to rebuild Greensburg as an eco-friendly community is a model for communities throughout the US and the world.”
The story of Greensburg will be told in a 13-part series and will premier on June 15th.

What has happened to the show? Only the first episode has aired, and there isn’t anything more listed within the next two weeks… did someone pull the plug on the show?
