ON THIS DATE IN 2011: One of the most devastating tornadoes in the nation’s history directly killed 158 people and injured over 1,000 in Joplin, Missouri. The Joplin EF5 tornado was the first single tornado to result in over 100 fatalities since the June 8, 1953, Flint, Michigan tornado.
The tornado devastated a large portion of the city of Joplin, damaging nearly 8,000 buildings, and of those, destroying over 4,000. The damage—which included major facilities like one of Joplin’s two hospitals as well as much of its basic infrastructure—amounted to a total of $2.8 billion, making the Joplin tornado the costliest single tornado in U.S. history.

"We've made final fours, we've made state finals, we've had hitters of the year, we've had all these accomplishments, but the knock on us was 'You don't have a blue map.' But nobody can say that anymore" - Bob Jones head coach Jared Smith (@CoachJSmith_):
Last year @SlateAlford hit .248 with 9 Homeruns, this year so far he is hitting .373 with 5 Homeruns. Could he go on to be the most impactful transfer of the season? With one weekend to go before @SEC play begins @BaseballUGA is loving having @SlateAlford in the lineup.
