Tornado Hits Joplin, Missouri and Destroys St. John’s Hospital

This is horrible and the most recent reports state that 24 are dead.  This must have been one more huge tornado and I hope they stop soon.  Here are a couple images that were posted on Twitpic of St. John’s Hospital.

One more image from another site here.  I also read somewhere else on the web that the hospital caught fire but everyone was evacuated and there was a reported gas leak. 

A video on YouTube from the Weather Channel also shows the devastation and at the end you can see some additional footage of the hospital.  The news stated that they had a plan for preparedness and were moving patients to other hospitals.  When you look at the video everything is just hanging out of the windows at the hospital.  BD
