GREENSBURG, Kansas (CNN) -- Survivors returned Monday to a Kansas town that was flattened by a milewide tornado, some finding little remaining of their homes.While owners surveyed property, searchers probed rubble from Friday's gigantic twister, whose 205-mph winds killed nine people.Officials in Greensburg told The Associated Press that searchers had found someone alive in debris from the storm. A Kansas Highway Patrol spokesman told AP the person was found late Sunday. No other details were immediately available.


I think its scary to even go through a tornado .Im glad havent gone through that stage.It suck that people lose thier homes over a tornado and some people dont have money to rebuild thier homes.I cant believe someone die and how people died from the wind that means it was that strong to kill people."Some of this rubble is 20, 30 feet deep and that's always a challenge," Bunting said Monday. "That's where we've spent all our efforts, and we'll do it again today.""States all over the country are not only missing personnel -- National Guard troops are about 40 percent of the troops on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan -- but we're missing the equipment," she said. "When the troops get deployed, the equipment goes with them. So here in Kansas about 50 percent of our trucks are gone. We need trucks. We are missing humvees, we're missing all kinds of equipment that could help us respond in this kind of emergency."
