Joplin, Missouri (CNN) -- A tornado that chewed through a densely populated area of Joplin, Missouri, killed at least 89 people as it tore apart homes and businesses, ripped into a high school and caused severe damage to one of the two hospitals in the city, officials said Monday. "Everybody's going to know people who are dead," said CNN iReporter Zach Tusinger, who said his aunt and uncle died in the tornado. "You could have probably dropped a nuclear bomb on the town and I don't think it would have done near as much damage as it did."

Another round of storms is hitting now.
And you do not get severe storms w/in 15 h of an EF 4. The Low stretches from Montana to Charlotte NC. And all of that water's going thru Natchez, MS. The Levees are slumping now....
Yes, but are you evacuating?

LMFAO 8D Yeah, I evac'ed. Just like my family did 160 years ago. 8D My home flooded the day before we were to close on it. Took us 2 weeks (and only then did we find that the house was in a designated flood plain) to repair. The same couple called us hours after we got home saying they still wanted to buy it...8D Since then, we've been like good Republicans. Always build on a hill. Never live where you're looking up at the railroad or Highway.
