Keep them in your thoughts and see if you can contact loved ones.

This wrecked a good portion of Joplin's businesses... Not to mention too many homes.

Holy crap. Joplin got completely and utterly destroyed.

Holy crap I just turned on the weather channel. Looks bad.

South part along the highway is gone.

Justin received word that my Uncle lost his home and 2 autos. Completely gone. He hasn't been able to talk to his immediate family living there yet because cell phone communication is bogged down.
