Joplin, Mo. police officer Wayne Buck stands outside his patrol car on the site of his former home at 2109 S. Grand Avenue in Joplin, Mo., destroyed in the May 22nd EF-5 tornado. Buck and his family decided not to rebuild on their former site, instead choosing to commute from a nearby suburb. Buck was in his home during the tornado with his family, who were unharmed. Immediately following the tornado, Buck helped with search and rescue in his street clothes.
