Joplin, Missouri tornado videos

A tornado that killed at least 117 people in Missouri was the single deadliest twister in the past 60 years, according to National Weather Service.
Until this week, the single deadliest tornado on record with the National Weather Service in the past six decades was a twister that killed 116 people in Flint, Michigan, in 1953.
Sunday’s killer tornado ripped through the heart of Joplin, a working-class southwest Missouri city of 50,000 people, slamming straight into St. John’s Regional Medical Center. The hospital confirmed that five of the dead were patients – all of them in critical condition before the tornado hit. A hospital visitor also was killed.
Residents rushed to safety, and some captured compelling video of the storm, and the destruction it caused.
