The city of Joplin, Mo was practically wiped off the Earth last night. You may have heard of this place as it was the home of NASCAR driver Jamie McMuarry. Reports are almost 90 dead and the toll climbing.
There is some footage from inside a gas station as the tornado hit. The sound is incrediable.
This took place about 2 hours south of KC where RD, AH and I all live. I believe this will most likely be at least an EF4 tornado and you will hear triple digit numbers of the dead.

I thought about you guys when I saw the news. I didn't know how close you were. The footage of the hospital is heartbreaking.
Keep an eye on the weather guys. It's been a record tornado season and the season is just getting started.

yes the storm that hit south of kc was devestating, DMH hit it on the nose, over 100 people lost lives and still going up. My heart goes out to the effected familys, if that storm would have went two hours north, the tornado would have been........well im sure you can figure that one out, i watched the storm as it rolled through, and it had massive hook patterns aka tornado birth zones, i was checking my apt insurance for sure, we have allot of people on our team affected by works of nature, and we should keep watch, , it shows that mother nature can be very mean

Weather can be so unpredictable. Unfortunately it can turn destructive when you'd least expect. Like Jack, I also thought of all you guys in the area.
Hope any others are relagated to unpopulated areas in the remainder of the season.

Here's that video I talked about. The tornado hits about a minute and a half into it. Everybody actually walked out of the store!

WOW, that was intense! I think I actually heard someone kissing their own butt goodbye. I would say the heavenly father answerred that ladies call, in that they all walked away.
LOL at "I think someone is on my back..." & "Is someone underneath me..." hahaha. <---- only laffin because they were all okay.
