FT Leonard Wood is putting together teams to head down in vans and transports to help with the victim search. A good number of Engineers, Medics and support personnel are on the way. We saw it happen live on the Weather Channel tornado hunter feed... It was awful. Take care and we'll be praying for those affected. |

Budgolf, my wife's family lives in Joplin. We were supposed to be heading there Tuesday for a 50th anniversary party for my wife's folks. He aunt lives 1.1 miles from St. John's. The pictures are incredible. You still got family there? Need anything? |

The awesome destructive power of Mother Nature, just when you think that it can't get any worse... Prayers and thoughts go out to those that have lost... |

Amazing damage. Truck stop in the damage path had several complete tractor trailers picked up and thrown out of the parking lot. Police filled 20 body bags at the corner of Connecticut and 20th. Tragic. |

My daughter was in a play at the Stained Glass Theatre just NE of St Johns Hosp. About 200 yards from the hospital itself. And by the grace of God almighty she walked away with a broken wrist. Still have some famiy that is missing, some that's fine, and some that's ok but homeless. Thanks for your prayers. My daughter is proof that they work. |

Heard from brother-in-law that wife's aunt's house was 2 houses down from the damage path. Said it looked like a giant stomped on everything from that point north east. |
