The state of Missouri in the United States has been hit by a huge tornado which carved its way through the city of Joplin on a path six miles long and half a mile wide. SO far estimates are that it has killed at least 116 people. Much of the south side of city has been flattened with no building having survived the destructive power of the Tornado.

Meanwhile, the US National Weather Service has warned of more storms on Tuesday, with the risk for severe weather increasing later in the day. It is likely that these storms will bring winds of 70mph and hail roughly the size of tennis balls.
