Called the 'rents this morning and the worst went south. They didn't even get any particularly heavy rain. At least they have a basement (Which assumes they are paying attention to the warnings.)

days like these where you need ro remember to tell those you care about just how much you love and appreciate them.

thoughts and prayers to all affected. just awful.

Saw lots of devastation last night. I'm OK, but a friends mom is missing.

I have a very bad feeling the number of dead will increase greatly once they are able to get to the Walmart and Lowes and the other stores that are wiped out.

Glad you're okay

Wow, looks like Joplin is getting pounded at this moment, at the least, very heavy rain.

I'm looking for a way to donate blood but the soonest Red Cross blood drive I can find on their website is next week. Is there a blood drive going on anywhere in the KC/JoCo area right now? I really want to help these people out.

Did anyone hear about a tornado in Noel, Mo? We are going to be there in a couple of weeks and I heard from a friend a rumor about one that hit there yesterday as well.

My co-worker is going to see if she can take the day tomorrow to go to Joplin to volunteer in the local Humane Society. She knows people are more important, but she figures they would need just as much help. If anyone is able to donate items that live near there, you might throw in a can of dog food or cat food.

That really sucks, considering how many homes have roof damage. Not what they need right now.

Haven't heard of any hitting Noel but wouldn't be surprised.
Siloam Springs is the only confirmed close to me.
We had sirens going all evening till about 1am in the morning.

My cousin said KC FD S&R has been markin houses where bodies are all morning...non stop.

another slow mover.

What about the highways? Are they open?
