Table 3.2 presents the results of the storm impact questionnaire. Out of the 87 persons who completed the inventory, 82.8 % (N = 72) reported being present in Joplin when the tornado touched down. Nearly all (93.1 %) of the participants reported having family or friends in the Joplin area. For those persons who reported having no family or friends in the Joplin area, a “non-applicable” option was available on subsequent questions. A large portion (69 %) of the sampled population suffered personal property damage, with 44.8 % reporting being displaced from their residence. In accordance with the level of reported damage, over half of all participants (63.7 %) stated that they were either extremely (41.6 %) or moderately afraid (22.1 %) during the tornado. Additionally, the majority of participants had family or friends who suffered property damage (92 %) and/or were displaced (72 %) from their homes.

The PHQ-7 generalized anxiety total scores ranged from 0 to 21 (M = 7.43; SD = 5.78). Regarding anxiety severity, 36.78 % (N = 32) of the sample was considered minimal/not anxious, 31.03 % (N  = 27) was mildly anxious, 18.39 % (N = 16) was moderately anxious, and 13.79 % (N  = 12) was severely anxious. The PTSD checklist total scores ranged from 17 to 85 (M = 35.83; SD = 16.13). Regarding PTSD severity, 32.18 % (N  = 28) of the sample was considered to exhibit high levels of post-traumatic stress.
