CNN’s Anderson Cooper, reporting from the devastation in Joplin, Missouri, called the scene “post-apocalyptic.”

At least 116 have been reported dead after the tornado ripped through the town this weekend.

While Cooper talked about the things he’d seen, lightning flashed around him, including one strobe so bright he flinched and was visibly shaken.
