I was under the same tornado warning as the one that hit Joplin. Fortunately I live far enough east-south-east so it went away from my area. I do have friends who live there, but they are all OK. Only one of them had any damage... he lost his roof, and is now living with his son.
My doctor and some of his staff drove up yesterday morning. Since most of the cell towers are now wreckage, communications except by satellite phone or short wave radio are difficult at best but expect to be restored sometime today.
What a mess!!
