A tornado, described as "the most evil looking thing you'll see in your life," went through Missouri, killing more than 120 people. When one woman was told of her father's death from the tragedy, she had a heart attack and died. They're relating her death to the storm. Officials are still in search and rescue mode. 9 people have been rescued since Saturday, and they're hoping to find even more. This twister was the worst since the 1950's and the 8th worst in entire U.S. history. People are still unsure with the total number of people still missing.
When I was younger and a bad storm would go through Alexandria, in a way I hoped a tornado would come through so that I could say I lived through one. I don't' know why I was so stupid because I obviously didn't know the consequences that come out of them. Houses are torn down, belongings are lost forever, and many people die. I hope that search and rescue teams are able to identify more people as time goes on, and I hope those people are still living. As we keep getting affected by natural disasters in this country, we need to keep helping each other out in whatever way we can. I know all of those people affected by the Joplin tornado will remain in my thoughts.

I always wondered if it was possible to miss somebody so much that you could die as a result of a heart attack. My mom always told me that if I died, she would die shortly after of a heart attack and I never believed her until now. Hearing that story makes me really sad, and my thoughts and prayers continue to be with those survivors and families in Joplin who have lost everything!
