Day of mourning in the Ozarks ,

After a severe storm system passed through the Midwest yesterday , leaving death and destruction along its path . One of the the more severe tornadoes that stemmed from the storm , touched down on Main street in Joplin , Missouri . The path was estimated at close to 3/4 ‘s of a mile wide and up to 6 miles long . Total devastation was left in its path . Among the destruction was a hospital that suffered severe damage and all victims needing to be evacuated . The storm drifted south south east and passed south of us by about 15-20 miles . My neighbors fathers home was damaged by Crane , Missouri , loosing his garage and all the out buildings .

The pic is from within 2 blocks of a friends house in Joplin , Missouri . As today more storms roll in and they continue to search for survivors and salvage what they can . 89 confirmed dead so far .
