Joplin Tornado: photos I took immediately after before my phone died. May 22, 2011 Now a dozen years have passed, I was still in my 30’s. I’m 51 now. >> BIT.ly/39KGyVn — Here’s my account and photos I uploaded to FB during the May 22, 2011 aftermath that evening while helping look for people west of Joplin High. It was no organized effort immediately after it was over. The pouring rain, hissing of broken gas lines, houses on fire, my mind racing, a chaos like I had never experienced. — Shannon |
