| Me too! I was watching the weather chanel when they arrived on the scene in Joplin...my heart just sank...the damage was shocking. We were under a tornado watch until midnight...had a couple small storms blow through with marble sized hail that lasted quite a while but nothing too severe. My prayers are going out to the people of Joplin, MO. today. They are getting hit with another storm as I type. |

| Prayers are going out to all affected, and also those who are constantly in fear of these storm. Devastation and stress all over the place, and it is soooo sad. The force of Mother Nature is just shocking sometimes.

| We are about 2 hours northeast of Joplin and some of my fellow nurses and a few physicians from my hospital have gone to try to help. The fatality count is now up to 116 and I'm sure will climb higher. Please keep praying for the people of Joplin and their families, this was huge!! I don't know for sure but I've heard from a pretty reliable source that every patient in the ICU was killed - I'm sure the nurses working there were too. These poor people will need lots of time to recover and try to heal. My prayers are with all of them and I hope my fellow healthcare workers can bring some relief to the injured and heartsick people.

| We live about 45 minutes from Joplin and our local news was saying that they are expecting the number of deaths to rise once they can clear through the rubble. They also said that they are expecting to find several once the walls from Wal-Mart can be moved. My mom is friends with people there that are still missing. There were parents on tv pleading for help in finding their children....my heart goes out to them. |
