Day trip to Joplin, MO

We're about an hour and a half west from Joplin, MO so we decided to take a road trip over there to see the area and check the rebuilding progress after the tornado.  I have to go to work so I'll let Isabel take over the blog post to describe what we saw from her perspective.  



ok, so, this is joplin missouri after the tornado this spring

most of these were houses,
some were old so they are just tearing them down
but some were brand new


the tornado only covered about two miles
some houses were destroyed


and some just had walls ripped off


i think only three or four had foundations left


houses weren't the only things ruined in the storm, 
many buisnesses were destroyed too





and the occasional power pole was bent over


this one might be hard to tell but there used to be a building or two there


that was the temporary homedepo 

and what used to be a sign


                                       
                                                         in the end..there was alot of damage,
                                        the pictures may seem bad, but its worse (and almost depressing)
                                                                              in person.
