[BLACKOUTx4500x]

This is scary footage first person of a tornado that tore through Joplin Missouri. They are all in the cooler of a gas station. There is also AFTER footage taken by the same people I will try to add on after the first video. This is my first attempt at posting ever, I will try to figure out the embedding.

So scary. Couldn’t imagine being in the dark, hearing the sound of your building being torn apart and wondering if ya going to make it. Phew!

I couldn't imagine going through something like that. I saw a tornado once when I was a child and seeing it from a distance was scary enough but to be in a building when one hits would be terrifying, these people were all very lucky.

Was just rewatching this. Its that time of year. My husband drives truck and I worry so much for him. He had 3 tornadoes coming at him oneday.

I lived only a couple of hours away when this happened. That had been a crazy month of storms. The day that Joplin was hit, my city was already in the middle of a ten-day continuous storm. I remember the storm sirens going off every couple of hours; although nothing came closer than a couple of miles outside of town. Nothing like twister season in tornado alley.

Give props to everyone, they were right place right time. Aside from the blood in the second video, no major injuries. Except the PTSD I'm sure.

Thank you for sharing, the videos where you can really hear the wind are my favorite. It's so hard to accurately capture the sound of a tornado. Glad the survivors, well, survived!
