Joplin

I have no words to describe the devastation of Joplin.  We were sitting comfortably in our basement on Sunday night about 25 miles away from the complete devastation that was happening in Joplin, MO.  We watched in horror on TV as the funnel cloud began lowering into the city and began to darken with debris.  We saw the power lines being hit by the tornado before the television station went off of the air.

People are now desperately looking for missing family and friends.  St John's hospital was completely destroyed.  It is heart wrenching, and we are predicted to have more severe storms tonight.  

We're used to tornadoes here, but not this F5 tornado.... never this.

Please pray.
