Joplin Tornado Toll Up To 116

The tornado that devastated Joplin, MO yesterday has now claimed 116 lives with more sure to come.  The National Weather Service has given it a preliminary rating of EF4, but given the damage I've seen so far a final rating of EF5 is not out of the question.

That death toll makes this the worst single tornado since a storm in Woodward, OK in 1947.

And it's not over. More storms are hitting the area today, and tomorrow looks to be another dangerous day on Tornado Alley.
