The Jasper County Emergency Scanner is pretty amazing, and crazy busy. Guys in ambulances flying everywhere. Having hard time coordinating shelters and medical supplies tonight. Very heavy situation.

Very tough day for our friends in Joplin. My thoughts are prayers are with you all.

This is terrible

If that's true it's beyond stupidity.

Fraternity brother lost his aunt and uncle. ****.

True, they started looting Academy Sports about 30-45 minutes after the storm hit. Cops couldn't catch him/them

The dispatchers keep talking about where buildings "used to be." The High School, a Dillon's Grocery Store, they're running supplies around town on ATVs because regular cars can't get around the debris. Heavy stuff. Very bad.

There are bad people that will always take advantage no matter where you live. Hopefully the National Guard gets there soon and shoots them on site.

I heard that too.

Good lord Joplin... time to come together not act like idiots

There is a triage being set up at Missouri Southern State University in the Health Sciences building for anyone injured. **** Any doctors or nurses available are needed to help!!!***

Triage centers have also been set up at 20th & Sunshine, Leggett & Platt, Junge Stadium, Lowes, and Vintage Stock on 22nd #Joplin

Let's not superimpose the actions of a few onto the entire community.

To support the Joplin tornado relief effort text REDCROSS to 90999 or visit redcross.org.

Wow just heard about this a few minutes ago, My Prayers go out to all who have family, friends and loved ones.

I am from Parsons, but live in Joplin and go to MSSU. Apartment was right in the middle of it and got hit. Luckily I was home for the weekend as well as the guy I lived with. Also many many friends and family members are yet to be found and/or lost homes. It's about a 6x2 mile stretch that completely got flattened. Including Walmart, Home Depot, and many other large stores. Please keep us/them in your prayers!

Hearing reports of looting stores and over turned semis...also first responders and emergency crews having problems due to rubberneckers and gawkers driving around to see the damage.

Joplin will need any help they can get over the next few months.
