89 confirmed dead in Joplin tornado; six videos of the destruction

A mile-wide, rain-wrapped tornado killed 89 people Sunday in Joplin. Sadly, that number is likely to rise. Joplin is in ruins (as you can see in Cloven Life’s

Flickr photos), including St. John’s Regional Medical Center, which looks bombed out.

Bark was stripped from trees. Vehicles were in mangled balls, looking like they were straight out of a Hollywood disaster film. FEMA workers have been dispatched to Joplin, and Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon has declared a state of emergency. KMBC Channel 9 has several links to how you can help the people of Joplin. Watch more videos after the jump.
