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.
"Thats because your basically and idiot." 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?
war has to do something for entertainment. The voices in his head aren't speaking to him and his imaginary friends have found reasons not to come over anymore.
These unprecedented storms (something unheard of) are happening in areas where the concentration of climate change deniers is strongest (the core Red States). Reality is a bitch.
"Keep Your Goddamn Government Hands Off My Medicare!" - Various Tea Party signs.
Reality is a bitch. Here in Virginia our Conservative Republican governor whom many are touting as a potential VP pick next year is whining because FEMA won't give federal aid to a very small area hit by tornadoes a few weeks ago.
"Thats because your basically and idiot." 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.
And I left New Orleans in 1978. I could not get dry. Garbage starts smelling w/in minutes. And the cockroaches fly. No thank you. 8D But I'd rather live there than NYC. Just sayin', 8D
