The JOPLIN TORNADO: The Power of a Multi Vortex F5

On May 22, 2011, one of the worst years of tornado outbreaks in recent memory, an F5 tornado a mile wide destroyed 30 percent of the city of Joplin, Missouri, cutting through the heart of the southern part of town. I track the route of the storm using the storm is maps, cctv footage from the hospital and local schools and photos and descriptions of the damage to illustrate the incredible damage caused by this tornado. I visited a memorial located in Cunningham Park, located in the heart of the storm and the site of some of the worst damage.
