Tornado: Devastation in Joplin, Mo on May 22, 2011

Disaster Residents of Joplin, Missouri, had about 20 minutes of warning before a tornado strike Sunday. But this spring, early warnings have not been enough to prevent high death tolls from tornadoes. Traffic lights, street and miscellaneous signs were leveled with numerous houses and buildings by a tornado that struck Joplin, Mo, on Sunday, May 22. The tornado cut a swath 6 miles long and one half of a mile wide through the heart of Joplin, Missouri. On May 29, they had counted at least 139 dead with 100 unaccounted for.

A covered body is seen in a tornado ravaged car while emergency workers wait for a medical team to arrive in Joplin, Missouri, Monday, May 23, 2011.
