Residents of Joplin, Missouri, emerged from shelter to a city that was unrecognizable.
"It was horrible. I couldn’t even take pictures on my phone. I was crying,” resident Sara Ferguson told The Joplin Globe.
A Red Cross worker estimates 75 percent of Joplin, Missouri was destroyed by last night's vicious tornado that hurled debris as far as 70 miles away. The high school, the hospital, a couple of fire stations and a strip mall - all in shambles. Governor Jay Nixon has called in the National Guard.
