Best Answer

There were a number of tornadoes in Missouri in May of 2011, but the most notable one was the EF5 tornado that hit Joplin on May 22, destroying one third of the city and killing 158 people. It is the seventh deadliest tornado in U.S. history and probably the most destructive with an estimated cost of $2.8 billion. It touched down to the east of the city and rapidly grew and intensified into a massive tornado that was nearly a mile wide with winds of over 200 mph.
