Video From May 22, 2011 Joplin, MO Tornado


This is video from inside a chase tour van. It's really eerie to hear someone suggest taking cover at Home Depot at the 1:58 mark. My heart hurts thinking about what the folks in Joplin went through that day.

Please pray for the folks affected by these storms.
