A devastating tornado ripped through Joplin, Missouri over the weekend killing at least 89 and almost cutting the town in half.

The horrifying storm laid a six-mile path of destruction across the area, as the tornado destroyed homes and businesses, turning the area into little more than rubble. According to the AP, the storm even took down a helicopter that laid battered amidst the devastation.

Storm chasers managed to capture the brunt of the storm on camera, just before the light faded.

A few other videos have come out of the storm, including this horrifying first-person account.
