Short introductory article about several disasters to hit Missouri in 2011, such as the Blizzard of 2011 that "closed the I-70 corridor for the first time in the state's history;" flooding in the Ozarks and both the east and west sides of the state; and the killer tornado on May [22nd] that destroyed one-third of the city of Joplin. The introductory article is followed by, "Ground Zero, Joplin: Stories from Inside and Signs of Hope" by Sarah Alban (pp. 43-47), and another called "Missouri's Natural Disasters" which gives a timeline of disasters beginning with the 1811 New Madrid earthquake (pp. 48-49). Thomas Hart Benton's "Flood Disaster," painted in 1951, is shown in the introductory article.
