A tornado hit Joplin, Mo. around 6 p.m. on May 22, 2011. The tornado left the town with any electricity and all of the phone lines cut. Newton County coroner says that 30 people had been killed and even 11 bodies were found around he same spot. The patients in St. John’s Regional Medical Center had to leave the medical center get away from the fire. Mike Bettes, a meteorologist for the Weather Channel who arrived in Joplin 10 minutes after the tornado touched down, as part of the show "The Great Tornado Hunt" said that the only lights seen were the firetrucks and the ambulances. President Obama said the Federal Emergency Management Agency were being sent.
I think that the tornado was horrible. So many people lost their homes, jobs, friends, families, and their own usual life style.
