On Sunday, May 22, 2011, a devastating EF5 multiple-vortex tornado ripped through Joplin, Missouri, at 5:34 p.m. CDT. When it was gone, the tornado's path spanned seven miles long and one mile wide, tearing apart neighborhoods and creating a landscape of destruction. The Joplin tornado ranks as one of America's deadliest and is likely to be one of the costliest with the price tag to rebuild Joplin estimated at dollar3 billion.
