Concerning the truck bent around a tree, 2 videos of it:While we're still on Joplin, I'll never not be amazed by the vehicle + vegetation damage. I mean, obviously a violent tornado going through a relatively dense suburban area is always gonna produce high-end damage, but in Joplin's case it's legitimately among the most violent I've ever seen. And not just in one area, either - there was extremely high-end contextual damage in a ton of places. The St. John's area and Joplin High are especially noteworthy, though.
Near the hospital + wider view:
Just south of the HS:
Some pretty wild debarking of shrubs:
Also a different view of the windrowing near Duquesne & E 20th:

Amazing how completely debarked every tree and branch in the area is and the prominent grass/ground scouring, especially in the first video.
