"We are responding aggressively, quickly. We want to make sure as the night goes on that we're saving lives between now and dawn". There are a number of injuries".

The deadly tornado struck the town of Joplin near the border with Oklahoma and Kansas yesterday, less than a month after a horrific tornado outbreak left 354 dead across seven US states.
