The Mile Wide Tornado Research Paper

The mile wide tornado traveled six miles through the Joplin. Since 1947, it was the deadliest tornado in the United States due to the one hundred and fifty eight deaths that came from the storm. Seventy five hundred homes were destroyed, five hundred businesses unsettled, fifteen thousand plus vehicles were thrown about like ragdolls some rolled up into balls, others wrapped around trees while some were never found. This tornado proved to be one of the costliest at damages estimated at two point eight billion dollars (Erdman, 2016).
