Damn Nature Eff Off With This Nonsense of the Day: A home security camera captures the full fury of the multiple-vortex EF5 tornado that touched down in Joplin, Missouri, last week, damaging as much as 75% of the city. (Gets vicious around the 2-minute mark.)
The video’s uploader writes:
The tornado was behind the camera. 2 and 3 blocks north of us, there are no houses standing and the trees are not only down, but stripped of bark. My sister was in that area and had to catch her 2 year old girl from being sucked out of the basement.
Below: Piccadilly Circus, which was forced to cancel its Joplin show due to the tornado, volunteers its elephant to assist cleanup efforts.
