High winds ripped across the Tri-State Area about 7:10 a.m. Friday, causing widespread property damage in many communities, including Joplin. Trees were downed and utility poles were snapped, causing electrical power outages in parts of Joplin. Emergency responders were sent to an area northwest of Joplin where a woman was reported trapped in the debris of a mobile home. High winds blew metal sheds across North Main Street and debris from a building partially blocked one lane of Highway 43 north of Missouri Highway 96. Windows in downtown Joplin were blown out by the force of the winds. Pieces of metal siding and roofing were visible laying on parts of Main Street. At 26th and Main Street, a satellite dish from a nearby home was visible. As damage reports continued to pour in across the region, utility and city workers were out clearing trees streets of fallen trees and restoring electrical power to effected neighborhoods. Before the storm hit, the National Weather Service issued a warning that a severe thunderstorm, moving at 75 mph, was approaching Joplin. Among the communities reporting wind damage were Galena and Baxter Springs in Kansas; Miami and Commerce in Oklahoma, and Carthage and Carterville in Missouri.
