Hopefully everyone you know made it though the Joplin Tornado. My niece has a house just 5 blocks north of where the tornado went through, just north of St. John's Hospital. No damage and she is fine. My brother owns another house in Joplin but he doesn't know yet if it survived the storm. He hasn't been able to get into the area where it is located. He had a third house but sold it last week. Doesn't know if it and the people who bought it made it though as well.

My prayers go out all who have friends and family there dealing with the tornado aftermath.
