Joplin, Mo., Search Shifts to Stores, ApartmentsRescue teams search big-box stores, apartment complexes for survivors as clock ticks down on more severe storms. (CBS/AP)
JOPLIN, Mo. - Crews busted holes in concrete slabs and sifted through strewn home goods Tuesday as rescuers focused on crumpled big-box stores and apartment complexes in Joplin in a frantic search for survivors of the deadliest single U.S. tornado in about 60 years. One team poked through the remains of a Home Depot store, while others searched a Walmart and wrecked apartments as the clock ticked down on another round of severe storms. A hunt through the rubble using search-and-rescue dogs was planned, and officials expected to test the city's nine warning sirens while the sun was still shining.
