Residents of Joplin, Mo., had only 20 minutes to take cover before a monster tornado swept through the heart of the city Sunday night, killing at least 90 people while wiping out entire neighborhoods.
Now, rescue workers are going door-to-door, searching for survivors of the deadly twister that cut a path nearly 6 miles long and more than a half-mile wide as it tore through the center of town.
Authorities warned Monday that the death toll could climb as search-and-rescue workers continued their efforts. Their task was made more miserable Monday morning as a thunderstorm with strong, gusty winds and heavy rain pelted part of the city with hail.
"While the weather is bad right now, we still believe there are lives to be saved," Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon said in an interview with Fox News.
