Devastation in Joplin MO

Posted by tomfmason 9 months ago 2 comments

I moved to Joplin in March of this year(2011) and until this past sunday everything was perfectly normal. I actually liked the city but it is smaller than most that I have lived in in the past. Just early this week we were rocked by an EF5 tornado that has caused millions--maybe billions--in property damage and cost the lives, so far, of over 120 people.

I have been spending as much time as possible helping with the relief effort during which I have seen some truly horrifying things. Below are just some of the pictures I have taken during this time:
