Thane Snider worked in the yard of his childhood home at 2606 Jefferson in Joplin, Mo. on Wednesday morning, May 25, 2011, following the devastation caused by a tornado that swept through the city's central section on Sunday evening. A statue of St. Peter lay among the rubble as Snider looked for power tools to assist in the cleanup.
