Last night's FE-4 has killed dozens in and around Joplin, Missouri. Over 2000 buildings have been destroyed. A regional hospital was rendered useless and emergency crews from the region are going house to house this morning searching for survivors with gas leaks and downed power lines everywhere. The governor has mobilized the Guard and FEMA arrived to set up a center.
The most ironic detail is Home Depot was leveled while Lowe's is fully functional and operating as an emergency work center for Fire and Police.
No tornado videos were posted, but plenty of after effects give perspective to the path the twister cut (six miles by a half mile) through the southwestern Missouri town of 50,000 residents.
