UPDATE | Search for Joplin teen expands to KC
JOPLIN, Missouri - Just moments before the tornado struck, hundreds of Joplin High School seniors received their diplomas.
One of those graduates was Will Norton. Will walked across the stage 30 minutes before the tornado hit and was headed home with his dad. The tornado cut Will's seatbelt and ripped him through the car's sunroof.

His family feared he was dead, but late last night his family got word he was alive, but severely hurt. The only problem was his family isn’t sure where he is being treated.
Will's sister told CNN's Anderson Cooper moments after getting notified Will was alive they were taking it step by step and just trying to get the word out as much as possible.
