Title: Joplin, Missouri
Post by: Townhallsavoy on May 22, 2011, 11:25:47 PM: Joplin won't be playing any ragtime tunes tonight.

Tornado just obliterated the town. They had to turn the high school football field into a temporary morgue. The main hospital was hit directly.

Pretty fucked up.

A bunch of people huddled together in a building, so of course some guy had to take a video. It's really hard to see anything, but from about 1:45-4:00, you can listen to what it sounds like as a tornado obliterates a building.

Death toll is up to 89 in less than 12 hours.

I don't know if it's b/c information is readily available, but agree, I have never seen this many damaging tornados like this year.
