The Joplin tornado killed at least 116 people and 400 people were injured. The weather officials said “This tornado was the most deadly tornado in the country since 1947 and the ninth-deadliest tornado of all time.” They looked for people for several days because they still thought that there were people alive under the rubble. On the Fujita scale this tornado was ranked a 5, the most deadly tornado.  The people that were in the Joplin tornado were very scared. They knew about the tornado 20 minutes before it hit. Lots of people didn’t get into a safe place in time before the tornado hit. After the tornado hit houses, schools, hospitals, and nearly everything was destroyed. <span style="background-color: #0000ff; color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 150%;"> I learned that this tornado was ranked as a 5. I also learned that they only got 20 minutes before they knew that the tornado was coming. <span style="background-color: #0000ff; color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Palatino Linotype','Book Antiqua',Palatino,serif; font-size: 150%;"> This tornado is important to science because meteorologists study when a tornado is going to happen and how much damage it can cause.

Then they should have looked for a dark, often greenish sky and large hail. They also should have looked for large, dark, low-lying cloud and a loud roar, similar to a freight train. When you hear the tornado sirens, you need to go to your basement or if you don't have a basement then go into a closet or bath, or something safe and not by windows. **
