As far as the eye could see, destruction from a EF-5 tornado left a path of ruin through the central core of Joplin, Mo. The tornado struck the southwest Missouri city on May 22, 2011, killing 161 and injuring 900. Insurers have already issued $1 billion in claims with losses estimated at $2 billion.
