Besides the 161 lives lost more than 7,500 residences were damaged or destroyed by the storm, of those, more than half were completely destroyed leaving 9,200 people displaced from their homes. Entire neighborhoods were wiped out in some areas, leaving nothing but debris. It affected 5,000 employees and 500 business and generated more than 3 million cubic yards of debris. 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/345782752 2019-03-27 16:18:36 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/345782752 With the help from more than a dozen Federal agencies, federal and state disaster assistance, as well as Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program together with donations from all over the world led to repairing and rebuilding hundreds of homes and apartments. By September 2014 all of the destroyed elementary schools, as well as Joplin High School, had been returned to permanent facilities. The Mercy Hospital Joplin was also rebuilt and opened its doors in March 2015 and in 2017 the Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences College of Osteopathic Medicine was also opened. 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/345783842 (A lot of people say that they will never forget the super loud howl like wind sound that broke through the windows because of the wind). ]]> 2019-03-27 16:20:44 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/345783842 2011 Joplin Tornado damage 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/345784148 2019-03-27 16:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/345784148 https://extension2.missouri.edu/emw1019 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346214862 2019-03-28 15:58:41 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346214862 https://www.nssl.noaa.gov/education/svrwx101/tornadoes/detection/ 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346215045 2019-03-28 15:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346215045 In the Midwest states, peak tornado occurrence is in mid-March through late June. Missouri is considered at high risk from tornadoes and is in “tornado alley,” which places the state in the top five for tornado activity. 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346217007 2019-03-28 16:01:48 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346217007 NSSL developed the WSR-88D Mesoscale Detection Algorithm to analyze radar data and look for a rotation pattern meeting specific criteria for size, strength, vertical depth, and duration. A mesocyclone is usually 2-6 miles in diameter, and is much larger than the tornado that may develop within it. 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346223158 2019-03-28 16:13:45 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346223158 NSSL researchers discovered the Tornado Vortex Signature (TVS), a Doppler radar velocity pattern that indicates a region of intense concentrated rotation. The TVS appears on radar several kilometers above the ground before a tornado touches ground. It has smaller, tighter rotation than a mesocyclone. While the existence of a TVS does not guarantee a tornado, it does strongly increase the probability of a tornado occurring. 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346223534 2019-03-28 16:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346223534 Storm spotters have been trained to recognize tornado conditions and report what they see to the National Weather Service. Storm spotters can be emergency managers or even local people with a keen interest in severe weather who have taken formal storm spotter training in their community. 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346224150 2019-03-28 16:15:39 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346224150 Forecasters and storm spotters have learned to recognize certain thunderstorm features and structure that make tornado formation more likely. Some of these are visual cues, like the rear-flank downdraft, and others are particular patterns in radar images, like the tornadic vortex signature (TVS). 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346224366 2019-03-28 16:16:06 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/346224366 The reason that 25aydenlinville https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/347694259 2019-04-02 15:46:55 UTC https://padlet.com/25aydenlinville/974n9jc4m82z/wish/347694259
