I live in Ravenna, Ohio. May was a really big month for storms this past year. Got some really good photos over a matter of 2-3 weeks. Just glad no one got hurt. But what happened in Joplin was just terrible.

@DirectorGuy13 We had a tornado warning on May 22nd, too. Five tornadoes smashed through my county, and one of them hit my house. A tornado even went through the downtown area of a major city in my county.
