“It's like someone scooped up the middle of Joplin, put it in a blender, turned it on high and dumped it back out," says Barb Sturner, a FEMA public information officer. The EF-5 tornado that swept through the city here May 22 damaged or destroyed about 8,000 buildings and killed 160 people. For almost six miles, the remnants of homes, workplaces, cars and personal belongings line the roadways or are scattered across residential and commercial lots. It’s a bleak landscape dotted with broken houses, trees stripped bare and cars crumpled into barely recognizable lumps of metal and fiberglass.
