Current Event: Tornado

     On Sunday, a tornado hit in Joplin Missouri. The tornado hit around 6:00PM and destroyed a hospital in it's path. The tornado also resulted in many people losing phone connection and electricity. 30 people were killed and about 11 bodies were recovered from one location. The hospital that was affected had caught on fire, causing the patients to temporarily relocate across the street. The tornado was said to be an 8-9 on a scale of 1-10. It also damaged churches, grocery stores, schools, and other buildings.
     I think that people should be more prepared for disasters like these because you never know when they'll happen, how fast they'll happen, or how severe they'll be. I also think people should be warned sooner, which might help them brace get themselves together before it hits; They'll be more ready.
