An Article Out Loud Flashback from the Domestic Preparedness Journal, November 23, 2011.
Two major weather events that occurred earlier this year will be long remembered not only by meteorologists and historians but by the general public as well. Tornadoes struck the city of Joplin without warning and destroyed everything in their paths. Hurricane Irene was even more destructive – but at least provided some advance warning. The legacies of both will be studied by emergency planners for many years to come.
