Four years ago on this exact Monday, portions of Central Missouri would see very different conditions from those experienced earlier today. A EF-3 tornado would make its way through Jefferson in the late night hours. Going back even further to 12 years on May 22, 2011, an even stronger tornado would rain down portions of southwestern Missouri through Joplin. This tornado would be even stronger and take well over 100 lives. A severe warned thunderstorm would make its way across Central Morgan county gaining strength.
