A destroyed Wal Mart is seen in the foreground with Saint John's Hospital in the distance in Joplin, Missouri May 26, 2011. The threat of a new tornado hitting Joplin passed by late on Tuesday. But a line of storms plowed through Oklahoma on Tuesday, where at least five people were killed and many more injured in tornadoes near Oklahoma City. Rescue and recovery teams scoured the wreckage of the small Midwestern city, which was devastated by a high-velocity whirl of wind that destroyed about 2,000 buildings.
