THE JOPLIN GLOBE (JOPLIN, Mo.)

The sun beamed cruelly on Sunday, May 11, vindictively exposing the damage done by an EF3-4 tornado a day earlier.

Parts of Newton County were littered with devastation and detritus. The landscape was filled with uprooted trees, bits of home insulation, wooden planks with nails sticking out of them and damaged cars.

Residents began their cleanup efforts in earnest on Sunday. Many of them spoke to the Globe about what was damaged and how they survived the storm.
