The death toll from the monster tornado that struck Joplin, Mo., rose to at least 124 Tuesday, even as a new round of deadly storms killed more in the Plains.
The tornado that struck Flint, Mich., on June 8, 1953 and killed 116 people had been the deadliest single tornado on record since the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration began keeping track of tornado fatalities in 1950.
The lethal twister has also made 2011 the deadliest year for tornadoes since 1953, with 454 deaths from 1,000 tornadoes so far, according to NOAA.
