Tornadoes have ripped through parts of the US Midwest killing at least 89 people in a town in the state of Missouri.



The twister flattened large parts of Joplin, which has a population of 50,000 people, late on Sunday afternoon.



We have heard up into the over-100 (range), but ... I don't think anyone has a good count right now, said Newton County Coroner Mark Bridges of the deaths.

We don't get tornados in California. If I lived somewhere that did, I'd move. It's only a matter of time before they get ya
 
This is just horrible and I'm with Nebulous on this one. If I lived in an area that's prone to get tornadoes, I'd be out of there!
 
i have a friend who lives in a town not that far from joplin,,,hes told me things got a little hairy, a little tornado came close enough to take some tiles from his roof and cause some minor damage in the town, a few people got hurt but not seriously
 
Despite the fact I've lived in Oklahoma just about all my life. A tornado has never really put us in danger. I guess we're one of the lucky ones.
