Do we have any members from Joplin, Missouri? They have had a devastating tornado there and I hope they are okay. It is on the weather channel, just terrible.

I hope there are no victems, there seem to be so many tornados this year, must be so frightening.

That is horrible! What is going on with the weather.

Now the Weather Channel is saying that fires are starting to break out. Broken gas lines, I suppose. The place is just flattened. It's hard to believe there would not be fatalities.

There was a bad storm in Minneapolis today with 1 fatality, I heard.

Prayers go out for all of those affected. It is horrible to think how many people have lost everything. God Bless you all.

Just so much devastation, unbelievable. Hope everyone is ok.

Looks like we have 3 members that live in joplin. I sure hope they are ok.

My brother lives in Joplin....did hear from him...he is OK. He was not home when the tornado hit, so he has no idea if he has a home or not.

Yes, it is terrible. The weather is really bad this year. Hope everyone is ok. I will keep them in my prayers. We have not had any bad weather on the Mississippi Gulf Coast yet.
