WOW during the day hours even.

My prayers are with all in Joplin. I'm from there, but I currently live in Cali. I still have many friends and family members that live there. Most of my F&F are fine, but I still have one cousin and one former classmate that is unaccounted for. I'm hopeful that they will be okay, but news is traveling fairly slowly out of that area.

I can't believe that Joplin HS, Walmart, North Park Mall, and St. Johns got destroyed. I spent a lot of time with my friends in those places (yes, even St. John's) But those places can be rebuilt. My thoughts and prayers are with those people who have lost their loved ones and property.

I just called and the Overland Park location should be able to take you. I normally do double red blood cells and have to schedule that out a couple/few weeks. They told me they would take me whenever I could come. I think they have called in extra staff to help with collection. God bless you for making a donation. Maybe I will see you there. I am heading in around 11.

It's one thing to lose your house to a tornado(my mom's house was hit hard in '03 by that tornado that tore through the northland), but to lose your entire community? I can't fathom. Here's hoping Joplin can get restored and under control in the least amount of time humanly possible.

Bowser 05-23-2011 08:47 AM
I have a somewhat unusual-ish blood type. I should go donate.

I work downtown but I will stop by this evening. Do they allow walk-ins? I will call ahead if I have to.

Calendar No. 319
109th CONGRESS
1st Session
S. 517
[Report No. 109-202]
To establish the Weather Modification Operations and Research Board, and for other purposes.

from 2005. So, they are obviously doing research into it... and the indicators show that this was most likely created or modified.

I watched radar last night, and they showed 3 additional rings with a square... and now this additional storm is hitting Joplin.

This is a sad, sad thing... and even more sad when you think it may have been enhanced/created. Say what you will of me, I don't care. People's lives are put into harms way and someone or some organization could be behind it, and that is infuriating, to me.

I have nothing but love for those effected by this.
:shake:

You are a revolting piece of shit.

Meh - it's not like he can control his stupidity. I "predict" he will slip up again.

CNN reporting search efforts called off during storm.

Watching video of that tornado ... holy shit. It wasn't a nice, neat funnel, it was a massive cloud that just descended to the ground. A mile wide, they said? That's one of the biggest I've ever seen. And it got almost pitch black.

Found out this morning that a friend of a friend (I've met him a couple of times) survived, or at least that's what his niece said on Facebook. He used to work at that hospital, but retired a couple of years ago.

Some Facebook posts from the MIL...

"To all our friends and family....please pray for our fellow citizens here in Joplin. Our family is fine and we had no damage....so far...to our home...the tonado hit about a mile north of us...we heard the "freight train"...thank God we have a basement."

"Electric to the water pumps must still be out and also water is running in the streets due to all the missing homes and businesses. Dad went out looking for a part to the generator but turned around and had to make his way home and said he couldn't believe what he saw."

Wow. I'm aparently the last person on earth to hear about this. Prayers to all of you in Joplin and anyone with friends or family there.

Rain Man 05-23-2011 09:01 AM
Dang. I just google-mapped one of my childhood homes and it was right in the thick of the damage. I hope it survived; I have very fond memories of that place. It's obviously a third-decimal-point issue compared to the people who live there now, but you hate to lose a place with good memories.

Frazod 05-23-2011 09:09 AM
Found out late last night that a buddy of mine from high school works at that ruined hospital and lives a couple of blocks from it. I haven't talked to him for a long time, but he and my best friend are still pretty tight. His house is (was) at the bottom of a hill, and he has a basement, so hopefully he and his family got through it okay. If he did, he was a field medic back in his Army days, so I'm sure he's busy.
