Massive Tornado Devastation in Joplin, Missouri [VIDEO]
Joplin GlobeFrom 2004 to 2007 I lived in Joplin, Missouri and was on the radio at KIXQ and KBTN, All night I tried contacting friends but could only get a hold of a few of them via text and here are some of the text I recieved . ” Not much left at my house but we are alive”, ” Hurt but alive, lost everything glad to be alive” , ” I took cover in my bathtub……not sure where it went. I ended up 30 ft away under 2 feet of debris. So happy to be alive!! ” Very haunting words from people that are near and dear to my heart. Then this morning I also received word that the apartment building I lived in was totally destroyed.
Here is an aerial video taken by helicopter surveying the damage
