A transplanted Missourian here.. Joplin is about an hr from where I live.. We had horrible high winds that could of at any moment snap trees in half it was strong.. There are debris from the tornado in the yards here.. We are still under a tornado watch for another 2 hrs.. Scary stuff..
(two story) houses have been demolished in the neighborhood by the hospital are completely wiped out.. Only thing remaining are the foundations the houses were built on.. Search and rescue are still working hard to locate those lost and missing..
