Just watching the weather station, there was a bad tornado in Joplin, Missouri... I pray everyone is ok. Doesn't look good...Looks like Branson is in its path...

We live in northwest Arkansas and my husband's tactical team was just called out to help. They were hit hard. Prayers for you all.

Been watching it on the Weather Channel. So sorry for all those who have lost so much. Have been through that area many times....so sad what all this terrible weather is doing to so many people!

Oh man I just looked at the Doppler Radar and it is heading right to us in West TN........ I just finished putting a roof on my house from the last round of storms. :-(

117mph straight line winds and two tornadoes in one day.

We had to put a roof on last fall due to the high winds and damage. Hope you fair well this time.

Oh the insurance guy is going to love me, the waters have just receded in my daughters neighborhood and her home is trashed. It was under 5' of water for almost 2 weeks so you can imagine what it looks like and smells like. I havent been over there yet but some friends of hers told us that they went into the house and it was muddy and nasty. Luckily we were able to put everything up in the attic and in storage before the Mississippi flooded the area.

My family lives in Chicago. I went through Hurricane Katrina on the roof of my house. They never tell me if they have bad weather. When I ask them they say everything is fine. Glad there is someone here on the board, that lets me know about the weather there. Thanks for sharing.
