Joplin Tornado Update

By KWGS News

Joplin, MO – For the first time since an E-F-5 tornado raked Joplin, killing over 150-people, school has resumed.

The public high school was destroyed by the May tornado. The high school has been relocated at a vacant big box store at the Northpark Mall.

The tornado destroyed five other Joplin schools as well. Classes are even being held in a vacant industrial park warehouse.
