Joplin, Missouri is a small town on the western border of Missouri. It was a town that not everyone heard of until yesterday. A huge tornado touch down injuring many and killing, so far, 119! The tornado's width was more than 1 mile wide. St. John's Regional Medical Center was right in the tornado's path. Reports say that x-rays from the hospital were found in the next county! The sate's emergency center said that 30% of the town was destroyed. Many houses and buildings were completely destroyed and some were blown away! Rescuers have found victims under the destroyed houses. On the bright side, rescuers saved a tiny kitten from the debris.
