That video sounded very scary.
I'm so glad all your family is ok. Can't believe 100 people just left just like that. My thoughts and energy to that small town. |

I was wrong. The tornado path was 1/2 mile wide and six miles long. Very sad.

The tornado in Joplin is just horrible. I just can't imagine all that devastation in one location. I've been through some pretty bad ones, but nothing like that. It is just so sad. I'm so happy Diana, that all your friends and family are safe. I know what it is like to go through waiting to find out - the Oklahoma City tornado about 10 years ago affected about 20 of our family members. Cell service was not so good back then and so it took hours and hours to find out that everyone was OK.

When I finally got to see what had happened on the news it broke my heart for all those people. Then the newsman there on site was giving his report and broke down.....then I broke down. I wish I could go there and help.

I saw where they were asking people to not come without checking in first. They are implementing their "Emergency plan"!!! If I'm right......then people should just show up and do what they can anyway.......more would get done and more quickly too!!!!

I found out a couple of days ago that one of my FaceBook friends died of injuries from the tornado on Monday. I hadn't realized that she lived in Joplin but I did know that she had family there. Her name was Margaret Row and she was a very sweet person.
