- - Joplin - - On May 22, 2011, a F5 tornado cut a path through Joplin, MO. destroying 6,000 homes and businesses. We met friends from both the Chicago area and Austin, Texas who we had worked with in New Orleans. This was a consorted effort to manage a crew of over 45 people. The stories we heard from Lt Darren Gallop of the Joplin Police Department and other people we worked with were unbelievable. One that stands out was the High School graduation. It was taking place at the time the tornado hit however its location had been moved... the High School where it would have been took a direct hit.
