A lot of people have lost everything. Many people have lost family and friends. Praying for those involved. Also praying for those who have friends and family in the area.

Joplin is so devestated 89 dead and they are pretty sure there will be more They got a horrrible rain storm this morning with hail thankfully it didnt last long Last I heard may be more storms tonight in that area. A small town in Kansas was pretty much wiped out on Saturday but only one death there

This is audio of people that took refuge in a cooler in a convenience store. It made me cry to hear their fright. Everyone made it out okay!

Thoughts and prayers are with everyone. We had an employee that was travelling there to attend his uncle's funeral. Got as far as St. Louis and heard the news. The funeral home was destroyed and unfortunately his uncle's body is gone. Family is trying to figure out what to do.

It should be mandatory that all towns in MO and AR should have a town shelter that is safe. So many don't have basements, and there ARE alot of trailers. Everyone needs to be safe.
