What were the weather conditions that led up to Joplin Tornado?

Temperatures in the Midwest were in the 80s. A low pressure system generated a slow-moving cold front over the Great Plains. Thunderstorms developed ahead of this front, fed by the warm, moist air. Many of these storms spawned tornadoes, including one which spawned the devastating Joplin tornado.

Were people warned that the tornado in Joplin Missouri was coming?
Yes, though circumstances still led to some being caught off guard. The City of Joplin was under a tornado warning for 17 minutes before the tornado actually formed, so residents were told of a thunderstorm with the potential to produce a tornado. When the tornado actually touched down, it was only a mile outside of Joplin and was causing damage in the city only two minutes later. While the warning was updated accordingly, it gave little time for the people on the west side of Joplin.

The weather was fairly mild in this period and because of this there was a food surplus. With these conditions populations grew. Yet in 1345 the Black Plague wiped out 3/4 of Europe.

Why did the Natchez Tornado occur?
The exact setup that led to the formation of the tornado was unknown, as at the time we did not closely study the weather and had no idea how tornadoes worked. However, it almost certainly formed under the same basic conditions that other violent tornadoes do. A low-pressure system was likely moving across the eastern portions of the United States, bringing with it the associated fronts. Along the cold front a comparatively cool air mass would have pushed into a warm, moist unstable air mass, triggering thunderstorms. Wind shear then set these storms rotating, turning them into supercells, which can produce tornadoes. One particularly intense supercell then produced a large, violent tornado that hit Natchez and surrounding areas.
Why does 2011 stand out from other years in terms of damage from tornadoes?
2011 is by far the costliest yeard for tornadoes in U.S. history, even after adjustment for inflation, with damages amounting to more than $9 billion. Three tornadoes each had damage costs over $1 billion, the only time more than one tornado in a year had such a cost.The high cost can largely be attributed to the unusual number of strong to violent tornadoes that hit the United States. This, combined with an increase in urband and subruban development and the fact that several extrmely large, violent tornadoes struck populated areas led to incredible amounts of damageMost of the damage caused in this year can be attributed to two events:An outbreak running April 25-28 which cost $4.8 billion, including $1.3 billion from the Hackleburg tornado and $2.4 billion from the Tuscaloosa tornado. Many violent tornadoes struck on April 27.An outbreak on May 21-22 with a cost of $3 billion, including $2.8 billion from the Joplin tornado.Other highly destructive outbreaks include:April 14-16 ($560 million)April 19-24 ($260 million)June 1 ($230 million)Taking a look at the three costliest tornadoes, the Tuscaloosa tornado was very large, very intense, and struck two large cities: Tuscaloosa and Birmingham. The Hackleburg tornado, similar in size and even stronger, devastated numerous small towns in Alabma, of which Hackleburg was just the first. The Joplin tornado was similar in size and strength, devastating a large portion of Joplin.
