I volunteer at our local food bank and 20 totes of bottled water was sent to the area by truck as well as hygiene and paper items to Joplin. Many huge cardboard totes are at local radio and tv stations to be filled with necessary items. The outpouring from the communities as well as neighboring states is phenomenal. It is still shocking to see the videos and hear the stories of this EF-4 tornado.
Glad you were able to talk to your sister, she was most fortunate and blessed.
