In the center of the United States sits an area known as “tornado alley”. An area that year after year, has been proven to be a hot spot for the formation of large and violent tornadoes. On the evening of May 22, 2011 a twister that was more than a mile wide dealt a direct blow to the city of Joplin Missouri, rendering its hospital nearly unusable, as hundreds of residents lie injured or dead in its wake.
