Daughter and family are stationed at Ft Leonard Wood MO about 2 hours north east of Joplin ,we were texting all night to around 2 am our time Sunday night /Monday morning all are well but I'm starting to wonder about the mid west. Two weeks ago a gunman rushed the base and ended up across the street from my grandson's school?!?!

Interesting in 1st downs link is that Worcester MA has the highest death toll. I grew up in NE and never did I fear a tornado.

lol....was in one in Lenox Mass back in 75 but it was nothing compared to the one just south of me in LaPlata Maryland........the town was gone!

We got hit yesterday with some winds up to 70mph. I think there was one flash of lighting and it fried 3 computers and all the phones in our office. So now I can't do shit but sit here and hope they get them up in the next day or so.

Guy I've done some work with online lives there. He's been raising a ton of money and helping out a lot down there. The pics he shared made it look like a post-war zone.

I used to live in West Springfield MA, can't believe they got hit so hard. Check out this vid of it crossing the river:
