Midwestern Tornados

A tornado hit Joplin, Mo., on Sunday night, destroying a hospital and causing many deaths. They were in a direct path and they were left in darkness with very little resources as firemen are putting out fires and pulling out bodies. this place is in a panic and its the worst of the twisters that have hit the midwest in the past month efforts like FEMA are trying to help the whole area. Weather experts are trying to figure out what happend to make this tornato so big, but they are not having much success. Most of the buildings in the area are destroyed including the schools and apartments.
I think its awful what happend having all those innocent lives taken, I also find it strange how all these twisters have been happening in that area and it odd and they are very strong. I also think that with all these happening they should make evan more safety measures make sure everyone can get out okay and make sure the people that are all ready hurt get them as much help as they need and make sure that everyone can get out when needed.
