Well, the front hit this weekend. Nearly a hundred tornadoes, most in the Oklahoma / Missouri / Kansas area.

Worst hit was Joplin, Mo, with 89 dead as of Monday morning. The twister - a mile-wide column-type - went right through the town (population 50K). Joplin has largely ceased to exist. News coverage is lacking, so far, because the town is a bit off the beaten path.

If the tour missed ALL of this weekends' tornadoes, I'd ask for a refund.
