People left homeless from the Joplin tornadoes are being rental homes to live in for 18 months. Later, they may be bringing in trailers, as they did for New Orleans victims. There were almost 50,000 residents who lost homes in Joplin because of the tornadoes. Nearly a third of the city was damaged and 130 people were killed. Twenty nine people are still missing. Many of the victims are leaving the town. Others who aren't being put into homes are at the Red Cross shelter sleeping on cots.
I feel really bad for the people who live in Joplin, Missouri. I don't know if I would be able to stay in my town if something like this happened. It would be so hard to leave though. Watching your house being destroyed would be so awful. At least they are being offered rental homes and some can go to the Red Cross shelter. People who are in natural disasters receive a lot of love and support from the country but maybe not enough. I think more should be done from communities across the United States and even the World.
