Don't we have some people from the Joplin area? Everyone please check in. Sirens went off in St. Louis but no significant damage.

My mother-in-law is ok.
I'm in north Missouri, we had our tornadoes last year. I don't know of any TE who is southwest, I know a few are central MO.

My friend who lives down there is OK. She was really shaken up and posted some pics on facebook, but is fine. I wasn't in MO (I'm in CoMo), but back home in Indiana. Thankfully everyone is fine.

Trek, did you get any storm damage today? We just had a tornado touch down near us as a system moved through. (I'm in NE Arkansas). AccuWeather is stating that it's going to be bad this week for us folks in Tornado Alley so let's keep in touch and check in.
Found this dramatic video of someone filming the event while in a convenient store in Joplin, MO.

And photographs of the damage to the town.

I'm between St. Louis and Joplin. Our sirens didn't go off. Everyone we know there is safe. Our school has joined a few other central Missouri districts and we are competing with each other to see who can raise the most money by Friday, and then we are giving it to the school district or a shelter.

Thanks to everyone for checking in. I hope everyone is OK.
No damage today but a decent storm.
