Last night around 6:00 pm a tornado struck my hometown. I grew up here, my earliest memories are in this city. Needless to say, it hits close to home. I didn't sleep well last night because of this.
I have to say that so far everyone we know is safe. But it took out a good chunk of the main strip. The tornado itself was at least 1/2 mile wide, and ran along the ground for 6 miles. It tore up a hospital, schools, businesses (Wal-Mart, Home Depot, IHOP, etc) and homes. Please pray with me and my family as we mourn for our prior home.
I wish I could be there, I really do. If there was a way for me to be down there, I would be there in a heartbeat. My heart aches for you, Joplin. You are loved, and you are in my prayers. May God lift you up, comfort you, and reunite the families that are in panic and fear.
