It looks really bad. A hospital was hit hard and neighborhoods were leveled much like 2 weeks ago in Alabama and Mississippi.
Prayers for everyone affected. Godspeed.

Just talked to my brother and he told me they were suppose to play there on New Years Eve for the first time since 1992. The place might not ever be there. He was able to get though to one friend and she said it was really bad over there.

I was watching the Weather Channel yesterday evening and their reporter was live and was reporting only about 15 minutes after it came through! They showed a google map centered on the hospital, and there was a lot of surrounding residences and businesses on that map that there was no indication of on the video coverage. The only thing left was the hospital, and it looked like there wasn't a window left on the outside of it.

This is the guy I was watching last night. I can't watch the video out here at work, but when I saw it live last night he was talking about seeing several bodies out in the street and things like that. It wasn't long before he started breaking down. After the sun went down he seemed like he was getting his composure back though. I couldn't imagine...

The damage there is horrid. Those poor people can't even do a steady search or cleanup for more storms coming through. God bless them.

WOW nearly 125 dead and an astonishing 1,500 people still uncounted for in Joplin.
1,500 just sounds impossible. I hope that number is wrong.

have a friend from on online list - The Nova List- I've been a member there for since 1999 I think, it's a bunch of crazy car nuts - but an awesome bunch - each year members of the list get together at different town across the country to BS and race their cars - a few years back it was in Joplin - hosted by a member that lives there -
This morning, when I came in and logged into my email - this was the first one - I wanted to share - Jake Webb's first hand accounting of his trip to Joplin yesterday:
Quote:
I just returned from Joplin. I was helping a friend (who has lost is wife and 1 year old boy in the tornado) collect what belongings we could from what was left of his house. We found his cat alive and wandering around the first floor of the house, which was now about 3 feet tall from floor to ceiling. None of the walls were walls any longer. Not a single one. We were able to find many of the important little things he was after. Unfortunately, we found his little dog crushed in what was left of his bedroom. It was really heart wrenching pulling out all of his little boys toys and clothes, etc...
I can't even begin to describe what it is like in the middle of all of that. The smell of gas leaks, water lines still spilling water from inside foundations, birds flying around confused about where to land, full sized trucks twisted into pretzels like they were made of aluminum foil, folks walking up and down streets trying to find loved ones. Just overwhelming. Where does a person even begin. So many hurting people. Most still seem like they are in a daze. I felt kind of like we were all running in limp mode... just functioning. I'm still trying to process things.
Please keep praying for folks, if you are so inclined.
Jake W.
Unquote -
Folks - I humbly ask that you continue to send knee mail -
Dear Lord, I come humbly before You this morning, and ask that You be with all of these folks, and the many more that are in need today, not only in Joplin, but other areas of the US as the weather continues to show us who really is boss. And be with those that will need You tomorrow as well, as we brace for another onslot of weather tonight and tomorrow. In Jesus' name I pray -
Amen
