While we had some pretty significant damage here across the Stateline, nothing compares to what occurred this evening in Joplin, MO.  A tornado ripped through the city killing 24 people, according to a local newspaper.  Jasper County Emergency Management Director Keith Stammer said the St. John's Regional Medical Center on the city's south side took a "direct hit." Witnesses said windows were blown out on the top floors of the hospital.
