Joplin, Missouri, located in the southwestern part of the state, it's known for multiple reasons. Known as the center of the “four-state area”; Joplin covers a total of 31.52 square miles spanning both Jasper and Newton counties. The city’s population is around 50,000, while the metro population is 400,000, the fourth largest in the state. The city is a commercial, medical, and cultural hub, home to 2 hospitals, 3 airports, 6 post-secondary educational institutions, and numerous businesses. Many call it home. However, most don’t know about Joplin because of its central status in the region, instead, they remember when the city of Joplin was at the forefront of Mother Nature’s wrath. On one disastrous May afternoon, the city of Joplin was brought into the darkest time in its nearly 150-year history.
On the evening of May 22, 2011, a violent EF5 tornado tore through the city of Joplin, less than a month after the 2011 super outbreak. A third of Joplin was gone. In a year with numerous violent tornadoes that laid waste to countless towns and cities, the Joplin tornado was a beast in its own right. It caused 161 deaths, the highest death toll from a singular tornado since official records began in 1950; and $2.8 billion in damages, the costliest tornado on record. Many know what happened in Joplin, but not the finer details and the stories that came from the city’s darkest day. Today, I’m going to share those stories with you and everything you need to know. Beginning with the state of the 2011 tornado season before Joplin, how the Joplin tornado came to be, the timeline of its path and destruction, the aftermath and recovery, the impacts on the EF-Scale, and lastly how the city is holding up today. Welcome to Nature’s Fury.
