This is a reading of the first Huffington Post article I wrote the day after the May 22, 2011, Joplin Tornado, just 14 hours after the tornado hit the town and destroyed one-third of it. It is also a chapter in my book, 5:41: Stories from the Joplin Tornado. http://www.amazon.com/5-41-Stories-Joplin-Tornado/dp/0615516114/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350168537&sr=8-1&keywords=5%3A41%3A+Stories+from+the+Joplin+Tornado
