Sep. 21--GREENSBURG -- Past the sheared trees and across the empty lots where houses used to stand, he could see his new modular home.

He pointed to it with pride. He and his wife and two kids moved in three weeks ago after living in a trailer south of town.

It is green and plain and perfect. For now.

"We're starting to get our life back together slowly," said Steve Dawson, a Greensburg resident who works as an administrator at an assisted-living facility in town.

"Now the work really begins, trying to get it all back."

By "all," he meant the rest of the town.
