Shit. Most of my extended family is in that part of the state.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I've got close friends in Ozark, MO; they're in the basement right now, and they are NOT easily freaked.
It's BAD.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
OMG, tornado just destroyed Joplin, MO
Huh. Seems like I timed my return drive from AR very well. I drove past Joplin about 4 p.m. As I was passing Carthage the radio started warning about storms with hail and rotation SW of Pittsburg KS, heading East.

That was close, dcp. I just posted footage of the damage on my FB. It's headed for my friend's house right now.
-ma for my dear friends and their kids, please.

I can't. My friends are right in the path.
My cousin lives in Joplin, too; she slept through the damn thing.

Now my friend in the basement is posting about moonshine on FB.
My concern level has dropped considerably.
Yes, I had to peek; it's really awful. I think I will start a donation thing at my school tomorrow -- one of my students had to drive his grandma to see his great-grandma to Joplin Friday; he can't be the only one with family affected there.

Yikes. Not cool, May weather, not cool!
In other news, how the Apocalypse was averted yesterday.
To the surprise of no one, I did not get raptured...

Matt, what is your tag from? I know it, and can't place it, and it's making me nuts.
ETA: DUR, SPN! Thanks, brain.
