9. Aaron Fuhrman - Joplin Missouri Tornado Damage

Self-taught photographer Aaron Fuhrman and his brother-in-law Lee Myers drove to Joplin after the tornado hit on Sunday, reaching the stricken town a couple of hours before dawn. Aaron’s dramatic photographs are displayed side by side here with Google Streetview images of the same locations. The contrast is striking, and brings home the tragedy of what has taken place in Joplin. If you are moved by this story, you can find out how to help Joplin in a video at the end of the piece.
