Indeed.
I was in Joplin this weekend for Missouri Southern State University's (MSSU) graduation ceremonies. Thankfully, my family and I made it out before the storm hit.
My brother has a few friends that lost everything :sad:
My thoughts go out to all the families down there.

Roger that.
THey lost a six mile long swath of town in the twister, then it started raining. At least that suppressed fires.

More thunderstorms went through yesterday and more are expected across our area for the next few days.
Our service has asked for people to be on standby for deployment down to Joplin (we are about 150 miles away to the NE).
A good friend's family lives there and are OK - but the only thing left standing was the hallway of their house, the hallway they were in during the tornado.

My family and I wish to offer our thoughts and prayers to all affected by the weather in Missouri. If we can do anything for any of you please let us know. We don't have much but what is ours is now also yours.
Just watched the news and the tornado that went through joplin was upgraded to a EF5. There are more severe storms coming through the area tonight from oklahoma. I dont know whats up with mother nature this year but she needs to chill with all the severe storms and tornados.
