We were in Springfield Mo for a wedding last weekend and decided to go by Joplin on our way back to KC. It was really devastating and heartbreaking to see what has happened to this lovely town. The news pictures just can't quite give the full magnitude of this tornado. You just have to be there to feel for these people who have lost everything. But here is a neat picture. Someone had salvaged this sewing machine and set it on the foundation of this house that had been completely destroyed, probably trying to salvage part of a memory of better days in the sewing room.
