In this video we find ourselves in Joplin, MO revisiting the locations that were most impacted by the EF5 tornado and comparing what they look like today verse what they looked like back in 2011 when the tornado hit. We also check out the Joplin Tornado Memorial - built on ground zero of the EF5 tornado and pay our respects to the victims who tragically lost their lives that day. We will never forget Joplin.
The 2011 Joplin tornado was a large and devastating multiple-vortex tornado that struck Joplin, Missouri, United States, on the evening of Sunday, May 22, 2011. Part of a larger late-May tornado outbreak, the EF5 tornado began just west of Joplin and intensified very quickly, reaching a maximum width of nearly one mile (1.6 km) during its path through the southern part of the city. The tornado tracked eastward through Joplin, and then continued across Interstate 44 into rural portions of Jasper and Newton counties, weakening before it dissipated.
