OT: Devastating Tornado in Joplin, MO... Anyone hear from Lisey? Other SW Missourians?
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032619/ns/nightly_news/
I remember that Lisey recently moved there. Has anyone heard from her?
Anyone else in southwest Missouri?
Thinking of you!

So glad to hear!
When weathermen and news reporters choke up and the helicopter pilot surveying the scene can hardly speak, you know it's far worse than anything you can imagine.
Thank you for taking the time to write, April. I know you have a lot on your mind. We care.
Hugs to your family.

People you can help.
Give what you can afford to the American Red Cross and note that you want your donation to go to tornado relief.
Please give a little. Now the need is even greater.

Good to hear you are okay ! I hope we hear from Lisey soon, although we are told communications is very sporatic in the area.
A friends son that we know has lost everything and was in surgery last we heard a few hours ago. His parents live in Chicago area and are on their way to his side. His name is Jordon and he works for the local TV station.
Lutheran Church charities has a fund set up for direct relief to Joplin area. If anyone is interested in that information here is a link
https://lcc.ccbchurch.com/w_form_response.php?form_id=601
Lutheran Church Charities works in a lot of disaster areas, as well as other religious agencies that helps needed items get directly to those in need ASAP. They base out of a local church to distribute and help as needed.
We normally get updates as they become available after disasters as this one. It just takes time to get the information out.

I've already sent my donation to the Red Cross but I'm looking for someplace to donate specifically for pets as well...please let me know if anyone hears of such a place as all Gods creatures need our help - humans and animals.
God bless all affected and their friends and families.

It took about 3 days after the Alabama tornados to get word on where to donate for helping pets. I will come back and post when I hear for the Joplin area. It takes awhile for them to work out these details after these sort of storms. We know several religious agencies who are on their way there to get orgranized to help. Some I believe are arriving tonight, but they need to get organized there to know how and where to help exactly.
