Tornadoes tore once again through the central U.S. on Tuesday night, killing 14 people in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Arkansas. Five of the deaths took place near Oklahoma City, where a weather-monitoring station recorded 151-mile-per-hour winds. The storm also blew through Joplin, Missouri, where residents, still digging out from Sunday's record twister that killed at least 124, had to take cover.
The Daily Beast's Terry Greene Sterling reports from Joplin on the search for survivors days after the rare Ef-5 tornado ravaged the city. Plus, shocking before and after images.
