When the most deadly tornado to hit the United States in six
decades roared through Joplin, Missouri, on May 22, 2011, it
destroyed one-third of the city, and took 161 lives. Among those
most affected by the natural disaster were the 500 students of East
Middle School, most of whom lived in the path of the tornado. Many
of the students lost their homes and had their lives changed
forever. One student lost his life. Scars from the Tornado tells
the story of how those students and the staff at East Middle School
battled their tornado demons, moving their base of operations to an
empty warehouse on the outskirts of the district and starting
school on time, just 87 days after the tornado. In their own words,
students tell their tornado stories and recount the events of their
most unlikely school year. Randy Turner, an eighth grade English
teacher at East and co-author of 5:41: Stories from the Joplin
Tornado and Spirit of Hope, reveals how he and his fellow faculty
members battled to make a warehouse into a school and a second home
for the children. Scars from the Tornado is the heartwarming story
about how teachers and students faced one of the most challenging
years any school has ever had.
