Everyone okay in/near theJoplin area?

[Broken_Hero]

I hope anyone near/in Joplin is okay...

The local images haven't been very prolific, but the images I've seen show some substantial damage/loss, I hope all local Duers in area are okay.

3. Was up there today for 10hrs

delivering water/food/supplies to numerous homes....

The destruction is truly, mind blowing, I have never in my life witnessed such destruction....

I was out by St. Johns area most of the day(and out 32nd st once), lots of people, lots of help, the supply line and what not is top notch, no fuss/hassle at the depots for water and what not.

4. I know a couple of people who were planning to head down.

They said someone else said it was awful.

I saw Sedalia today and the southern part of 65 Hwy was bad (all on the eastern side). I can't even imagine how Joplin really looks in person.
