Tornadoes in Missouri


A tornado hit a town in Missouri last month. It killed many people and caused a hospital to catch on fire. Schools, fire departments, large stores and churches, along with lots of houses, were also ruined. The tornado was very strong, but they weren't able to figure that out very well beforehand because it was surrounded by rain. This makes it hard to tell how bad the damage will be.
I've never experienced a tornado or anything like that personally, but stories of them always seem shocking and scary, because nobody can do anything to prevent them. People can only warn areas of disasters, but since the disasters are not caused by people, we can't stop them happening. Anything uncontrollable like this is terrible when it hits an area with lots of people.
