I've only read the last couple of pages, but my family and I are ok. We live in Joplin, but took no damage. We're very fortunate. I wouldn't be surprised if the death count from this thing didn't reach 1,000. It probably won't, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Pure devastation.
I'm sure it's been said in this thread, but thanks so much to everyone for their thoughts, prayers, help, donations, etc. Also, please don't come here to look around. The heavy traffic is horrible and it's really put a strain on the ability of the workers in getting around.
I spent yesterday flipping burgers for the workers in a very heavy damaged area. We fed over 1,000 people, including crews from KCP&L, police and fire departments from city's that I've never even heard of. People that had lost family. Volunteers from everywhere. The support has been unbelievable. Like our mayor said, "We're not going to let some F4 (F5 now) kick our ass!"
