And, my book about the Joplin tornado and how the warning system

tragically failed that Sunday leading to the deaths of 161 precious lives.

From one of the survivors:

5.0 out of 5 starsI just read an accurate description of what I 
experienced that day.

"Mr. Smith's timeline and reporting of the warnings received is spot-on. 

The book is a short read but it makes his points clearly 

understandable. My son and I are alive because of my own gut instinct 

that came from living in Joplin since I was nine. Neither the Joplin 

emergency management nor the NWS played any role...

...I do remember that I was switched over to a TWC show that I had no 

interest in watching that offered a written scrolling warning at the bottom 

of my TV screen. What I read was that the storm was travelling 

northeast and that Carl junction was in its path. Despite the reassur-

ance from TWS and NWS I did what I always did in bad weather, go 

judge for myself. There were NO sirens when my son and I took shelter 

at our apartment complex at 21st and Connecticut. There was only 

gray skies, weird vibes and the sense of doom.

Another factor that I believe played a role in the number of deaths is 

the simple fact that it was a warm late Sunday afternoon in a small city 

surrounded by smaller communities. People come to Joplin to shop, 

eat, go to the movies, etc. When looking at the long list of obituaries 

well after the storm, I thought it was notable that many of the deaths 

were of people who lived outside of town. I wonder how many were 

killed in businesses they were seeking shelter in.

This is a well-written book and I encourage anyone who is concerned 

about the risks of tornados or who, like myself, is still trying to put 

together the pieces of what happened to us that day to read."

You will find many negative reviews of the book by people associated  

with the National Weather Service. They have yet to come to grips 
with the failure of their warnings that afternoon. But, every one of the 

survivors' reviews (the people who lived through it) are 5-star. 

The paper copies of the book sold out very quickly. I priced the ebook at 
a very low price ($2.99) so everyone could read it and judge for 
themselves. To read more reviews or purchase a copy, go here.
