Monster Tornado in Joplin, MO: The Devastation and Destruction

Here is a first person video of the tornado.  I couldn't even imagine going through something like this.

 The people in this video huddled in the back of the store until the glass got sucked out , then they ran into the walk in storage fridge. 




Here is a video of the trail of destruction after the monster tornado in Joplin.



Here is another video of the destruction left after the MASSIVE tornado



According to Reuters at least 116 lives were lost due to the tornado. And to make matters worse Joplin has a thunderstorm on the way which will slow down the recovery. It is the deadliest tornado since 1947.  Could you imagine waking up to find out that half of your town disappeared? This is so shocking!! This is so sad. My thoughts and prayers are with those who lost their lives, their loved ones who are mourning their loss, and the survivors of the monster tornado.

From USA Today here is a list of ways that you can help the victims of the tornado:

First up, the Red Cross encourages people to register on the Red Cross Safe and Well website to let loved ones know they are safe by visiting http://www.redcross.org/ or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). From a smartphone, visit www.redcross.org/safeandwelland click on the "List Yourself as Safe and Well" or "Search for Friends and Family" link.
