I lived in Joplin at the time! It was very scary! But luckily me or none of my friends or family got injured.
I lived in Carthage when the tornado came through. Even though we were miles way from Joplin there was trash and dibris all over the place.
i lived in versailles by the time it came in i remember hearing it on the news that day i can't forget.
I was 2 at the time
:( I always felt horrible for Joplin. My heart with those people
I live in a town near Joplin. There are a good amount of people around here with PTSD because of that tornado.
Thank you
Title says it all. I worked in Missouri once for a few months over a winter and I have never in my life seen such strange and unpredictable weather. Missouri is incredibly underestimated and NOT for the faint of heart.
_Yep. Down here in Missouri, there's no such thing as "trusting the weather man"._
Yeah fr I live in CJ which is one of joplin's neighbors and I was 6 when that tornado came thru and I was in Joplin at the time and then last year on the same exact day May 22 a tornado came thru on our town and destroyed everything
I moved to Upstate Ny from Southeast Mo, I was driving down the Highway and people started pulling over, I asked why and the people with me said because it’s raining so hard how can you see, I laughed and said this Isn’t hard at all compared to what I grew up driving in being from Southeast Mo. They rarely have even light thunderstorms.
I live in Missouri. I live about 1 hour away from Joplin. I went there to help pick up and it was terrible. Houses moved and everything was destroyed
I live in Joplin. Nice small town but scary as hell because of tornados. My neighborhood was destroyed.
I live about 2 hrs away we went up to volunteer I was only 7
Yes, Missouri has extreme weather. In twelve hours have seen it go from 22°C (72°F) to -15°C (-5 °F), seen freezing rain coat everything with 1 cm (1/2 inch) of ice and of course in summer fry eggs on the asphalt. Amazing and Marvellous thunderstorms too.
Missouri had extreme weather cells in 1973. First in March and April there were record floods, then there were tornadoes every ten days until the middle of July, then it stopped raining and we had record heat. Not much of a corn or soybean crop, plus the oil embargo, soybeans got up to $18 a bushel (~$70 today)
Yep, I'm a boomer.
That's very interesting info
Yes but out here in communist California, we have earthquakes, fires, crime, and last but not least "leftwing radicals to deal with!!!!
I live in Joplin and I was here for the tornado it was horrible
technically speaking Missour is IN tornado alley!!!!
Neither is Sweden, but they had a tornado a few years ago.
I love my Home state of Missouri! been all over the world and the country and would never live anywhere else but here!
I live in Jeff city now!
Love the video!
Jeff city is a great family friendly town, most of my family lives there while I am out in st Charles county
I live in the town of California
@@driftmemes8539 lol yea just 25 or so miles down 54 :)
It is the people that make the place.
It's true, Missouri is outside Tornado Alley, but no body told the tornados.
I live in Joplin. Tornados every year. Almost died here along with my family.
Lee's summit is in the tornado alley don't leave us out just because we are further west

Harrisonville missouri got damaged by the 2011,2012 storms. Just 2 blocks away from my own house, a church's canopy was wiped out
Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas. MIssouri IS tornado alley.
I was 10 years old, and was taking a bath when St.Louis had a quake.
Talk about scary.
Will never forget it.
📻🙂
HEY I LIVE IN ST.LOUIS TOO
I lived across the street from St John's at 25th and Picher. I was luckily out of state visiting family.
Lee's Summit here. Grew up in South KC but half my dad's family was from Joplin and the other half Warsaw. Mom's family was from farms outside Slater in Saline County. I remember the big fire in Joplin a few years before the tornados.
I was in Springfield MO the day Joplin got hit...what a terrifying storm.
1:12 - 1:17
Hey! At least the 1970 Ford LTD Sedan survived! Those things are built like tanks, and have a certain character about them, even just sitting parked on the street. It’s probably still roaming around Missouri as we speak! 😎
Had a 1972 LTD in high school. We called it the armored personnel carrier.
The 2011 Joplin tornado was the deadliest single tornado since 1947. The deadliest tornado recorded in the U.S. was the Tri State tornado of March, 1925, which killed over 600 people in three states, as it formed in southeastern Missouri, tore through southern Illinois and part of southwest Indiana before dissipating. I'm surprised the Smithosonian Channel could make such an error...
Bill Simmons To add to what you typed, there were some long-track tornadoes embedded with the storm, but it likely was one of those situations where as one tornado dissipated another would spawn in its place with virtually no break in the destruction. Too bad there isn’t much in the way of official records.
And the Tri-State Tornado injured over 2,000.
It isn't outside tornado alley. Maybe parts of the state are, but aside from Joplin, the tri staate tornado comes to mind as another of the most deadly tornados and went through Missouri
I live in Imperial Missouri 💖
Thank you for uploading these. I hope people find this channel and subscribe. It is a wonderful channel.
bravoman368 >>> If you get the chance to watch all 50 states, these are pretty cool. I seem to recall them running CT-RI-MA & DC-MD-DE together, into 2 combined episodes each, but I suppose it really doesn’t matter.
I lived on out skirts of Joplin and we had damage here as well but I am grateful for the tornado because it gave me Appollo.. He was scared of storms but was an amazing service dog.. I will always be grateful for the people who gave him to me.. I wish I could tell them how wonderful he turned out to be..
kansas city here :)
me too!! **high five**
816!
My aunt named her cat Joplin after sher went there to help rebuild after the tornado
It was very kind of the cat to go help rebuild Joplin
@@waynebell6835 ikr
What about the tornado of 1925, the tri state tornado?
Ask your Missouri friends what a tornado party is be prepared to be shocked and amused.
_Anyone else here from St. Louis?_
St. Charles, close enough lol
Wentzville here
I grew up in western KY. I remember the quakes knocking me over when I was little.
I live in semo and three days ago it was 68 degrees. The day after that it was 59 with a low of 27. Yesterday it was 43 with a low of 27. Today it was 35 with a low of 23. Tomorrow it’s supposed to be 36 with a low of 18. By Sunday the temperature is supposed to go back up to 52.
Ah Missouri 100% humidity 110 in the summer and 20 below in the winter maybe it’s just Doolittle but still
aathats my home town.
Saw a report years ago from an insurance company. It had 7 types of natural disasters. Missouri and Illinois where tied for number 1 with the most of the 7.
I live in Jeff city it’s probably the safest place in Missouri to live the only natural disaster we have is flooding and we only had one tornado on May 23rd,2019 but For as long as I and my parents lived in Jeff there’s only been flooding besides the one tornado
Amanda Snyder in Cuba mo there has never been a natural disasters only a little storms :)
@@howtomakeedits5334 where I live too
I live in Jeff to! In fact my house got destroyed by the tornado that came through!
just had the first big storm in years, so i'm coming here for refuge 😅
Missouri is outside of tornado alley but noone informed the tornados of that apparently
Fault lines are everywhere
Hannibal Mo here
I'm watching this in a bad thunder storm
Perryville here
Lydia Barrows same here!
0:49 it spawned a e5 tornado it’s ef5
The Joplin tornado killed just over one hundred people. The Tri-State Tornado killed 695 people in Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana. The Joplin tornado was NOT the deadliest tornado in US history. Not by a long shot.
Isn't "Deadliest tornado ever recorded in the US" wrong because of the Tri-State Tornadoes death toll?
SEMO boy here,born and raised in Kennett now living in southern Wisconsin and occasionally we feel the quakes from New Madrid 500 miles north. Sometimes they can shake pictures off the walls
I am calling BS on that one. We haven't felt any significant quakes in St. Louis in my 40 years living here so you definitely haven't felt them in Wisconsin.
Nice
Small earthquakes happen all the time in the bootheel.
the New Madrid earthquake is long overdue it could happen anytime. The National Guard has hundreds of thousands of body bags just waiting. What will make it so devastating is if the bridge is on the Missouri and Mississippi River go they'll be no way to get relief into the people but by air
LOL, tell the weather we aren't in Tornado Alley! It doesn't seem to agree with you. 🤨😏 And we are overdue for another BIG New Madrid quake, I've heard, and I'm close enough that we could have whole shelves of stuff come down around our ears.
Few people know that a M7.5 hit New Madrid. By the way it is pronounced M'Drid NOT Maahdred.
