A violent tornado struck Joplin, Missouri, on Sunday afternoon, causing "some fatalities" and significant damage to buildings, officials told CNN.
Also, the National Weather Service said it was tracking a "large and extremely dangerous tornado" near Noel, Missouri.
The twister that hit Joplin, about 150 miles south of Kansas City, Missouri, caused "some fatalities," though the exact number was not known, said Lynn Ostot, spokeswoman for the city of Joplin.
Authorities there were contending with multiple reports of people trapped, as well as significant structural damage to St. John's Regional Medical Center, which was hit directly by the apparent tornado, city officials said. CNN affiliate KSHB said there were reports of fires throughout the hospital.

Obama shut down the weather forecasting satellites that could have warned people of this disaster, and saved lives.
Is Obama a liar or insane?
Think, think, think for yourselves people! I pray for you all that have been affected by the storm in Joplin. Does knowing something before it happens, change the outcome? Does worring about anything make it any better?
People like you are the problem. There is no comfort from Christ to people that cling to a book used for propoganda and harm to fellow mankind. My prayers are with those that died and suffered in this tragedy.

"...and has said a few things that has(sic) come true."
Seriously??? Have you ever heard of the Law of Averages? Basically it goes like this:
The more times a person speaks, the greater number of things that will "come true."
Trust me, there have been quite a few lies that I have boldly told that ended up coming true before it was over...doesn't really make me a prophet, so much as a good (and lucky) b.s. artist!
