I'd be asking someone who lives within an hours drive to please go and see if things are okay. Perhaps you could PM them with an address and they could take a drive in the direction. Phone lines/towers are probably all down, so internet would probably be the only way to find someone unless someone would drive in. Outside of the emergency contact numbers given earlier.

Please, God, let all find their loved ones safe and unharmed.
Let them reach out to those in sorrow and need.
Let the systems that work during times like these be thorough and complete and speedy in returning to things to a bearable state.
In Jesus's name give them a garment of praise for this spirit of heaviness.

I was an Intimate Apparel buyer for Macy's in KC back in the 60s and we had to visit all the stores once a month. The one thing I will always remember about visiting the Joplin store is how nice the people in that town were. Whether we were in the store or in a restaurant everyone was so wonderful. My prayers are with you.

I can't help you with getting information...except that with all the towers down cell phones are out!
My only contribution can be heart felt prayers for her safety.
I'm sorry to say that living in the PNW our cool weather is contributing to the horrible weather systems and I wish there was some way I could do something, but I can't...
God bless you and your family and please let us know when you hear from her!

A dear friend of mine lives in Neosho, which is outside of Joplin. She said that cell calls are not going through, but most people could still receive texts. Two of her daughters were caught in the tornado while at work, but thank the good Lord he kept his arms around them and they are safe, the building they were in was demolished, but the girls are safe.
Her husband has an OB/GYQ practice in Joplin. They are seeing a great need for anthing for infants, diapers, wipes, bottles, quilts/blankets, baby clothes, pack n play, carrier, etc.
They are asking for donations for the smallest victims. She asked that donations be sent to their home address, as the office was damaged. This is a very trustworthy family who will ensure that any donations go to families devastated by the tornado. If you feel compelled to donate anything, please PM me for her contact information.
Thank you for anything at all you can donate!!
