Multi-vortex tornado slams into Joplin, Mo.; fatalities, injuries and extensive damage reported
Coverage from the News-Leader (Springfield, Mo.) Coverage from the Joplin Globe
EF3 tornado kills one, causes extensive damage in Lyon County town A large tornado has struck Joplin in southwest Missouri, authorities said. Extensive damage has been reported on the south side of the city and along Rangeline Road, a major commercial thoroughfare in the city.

The tornado struck at about 5:45 p.m., according to reports transmitted to the Springfield branch of the National Weather Service. St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Joplin has been severely damaged, authorities say, and scanner traffic indicates emergency responders from surrounding communities are converging on the city to assist with victims.

“This is really bad,” one Joplin resident relayed to a family member in Andover via text message.

Survivors are reporting more than 20 semi-trailer trucks have been blown over by the tornado. Television stations have been knocked off the air and radio stations are asking for help from anyone who can lend a hand. Victims are trapped in the rubble of houses and in cars.

Witnesses said the tornado appeared to have multiple vortices swirling within it as it moved through Joplin, according to weather service reports.

The thunderstorm that spawned the Joplin tornado actually developed in southeast Kansas, said Stephanie Dunten, a meteorologist with the Wichita branch of the weather service. Hail as large as softballs was reported in Labette County, she said, but no tornadoes were reported.

“There were a few funnels, but no tornadoes touching the ground,” Dunten said.

But as the storm moved into Missouri, she said, it came into contact with more moisture to draw energy from and rapidly intensified.

More tornadoes are being reported as the storm system continues moving east.
