Joplin Missouri Hammered Hard by tornadoes!, page 3

No credit here, I found the link in the comments section of a FEMA blog post that was on facebook. There are USAR teams deploying to the area now from all around the region but it won't be until morning until most will make it there if they are traveling by car or truck

I'm listening to Weather's live stream. www.weather.com...

He said "mobile mortuaries" were enrout for "the mass fatalities".

He is saying anyone who wants to help, from other areas/States, contact Red Cross.

National Guard has been deployed but they have not been seen yet. They are using a highschool for triage.

7 DOAs at the local Nursing home.

Police just said they found tons of people just trying to regroup. He said to dispatch in a very sad voice.

A member of ATS Cloudsinthesky, my very dear friend and partner at testtherain.com, lives in Joplin! Please pray for him and his families safety, as there has been no word.

Thank you,
Pax

I spoke with Cloudsinthesky, he is ok, and even has power, lol! No internet or cable though. My brother was falling the storm, and he saw the devastation as it happened. He is now helping shuttle people to shelters. There are indeed bodies in the streets and in stranded vehicles. Priority right now is searching for live people, so the bodies aren't getting a lot of attention yet.

So far my whole family in the area is ok. An in-law had her vehicles destroyed and her neighbors house chopped in half, but her house is ok.

I will report more as I get it from them.
