3D Model: Joplin before and after May 22 tornado
***
Survivors of the May 22 Joplin Tornado tell their own stories and veteran reporters Randy Turner and John Hacker offer reports and essays in 5:41: Stories of the Joplin Tornado, available now at Amazon.com and other internet sites.
To the people of Joplin, you have come a long way, and yes still have a ways to go, but you are an amazing city! I don't live there, was only a weekend volunteer, but what I saw in just a couple days is a community that came together for each other and stood back up after being knocked off your feet. The video shows what you have done and what Mother Nature is doing to bring your back. Stay strong, you will be back to the city you knew!
