As of 7:00am Monday morning, 89 confirmed dead with more missing. The tornado basically devasted about 1/3 of the city, cutting a swath through the southern portion. It travelled not quite due east, angling a little northeast. It went from around 28th Ave & Main (St. John's hospital) in a path crossing over 15th Ave & Range Line rd. (Walmart area). I also heard that the Flying J gas station truck stop on 32nd avenue was pretty badly damaged.
I'm the lady who moved here from WI last month. I live a few miles due south of Joplin, on Iris rd, a few miles northwest of Neosho. At the same time or just right after, there was another tornado south of me, south of Neosho, travelling from Galena, KS going east.
You know, I tried to get an apt in Joplin, but couldn't on the short notice I had & wanting to move in the middle of the month. One of the places I looked at (had no availability) was 100% leveled by the tornado.
It was very scary.
I'm trained as a counselor. I spent time with people today who were missing loved ones and waiting to talk with an official who had a list of unidentified & identity-known dead. It was very sad. There was one family who waited for hours, discovered they lost the loved one/ family member, and had no place to go to b/c their own home had been completely destroyed (along with their family member's house). Where do you turn at a time like that? You literally have nothing except what you're wearing. It was so sad. People looked dazed.

Topic: WHATS HAPPENING JOPLIN???
My prayers and love goes to everyone in Joplin, I didnt even know that one hit there till i got a phone call from my granddaughter that lives there saying dont worry we are fine...Oh my gosh, so glad i didnt know about it before she called from the looks of the videos it was really really bad they said last night 26 confirmed dead already....So thankful for the lives that were spared.
If you are one of our Joplin friends please if you are able to let us know that you are ok ....I know there are several that use to be on here all the time that were from Joplin ....
We had lots of rain last night almost a inch and lots of wind...but no tornados that touched down altho they were telling us to get to safety. we have no place to go except an inside closet and i had us a spot cleaned out with a big heavy moving pad in there to cover ourselves with but we never got there last night....lol ..
Sure wish we would hear something from Ecuador about our visas...yikes what if???no dont want to go there with the what if game. just something to worry about. lol
Still packing and moving things from here to there ....Sometimes dont feel like im acomplishing much. will be glad when this is all done.

will leave you all now and let me know what you all are doing...

Hi Jan and all! Not sure if you remember me...I feel I've been on this journey forever. Came to circle of friends once in 2008. Amazazing!!! I'll be at my pre op class Monday, then surgery on 531. I have approval, and surgery in 10 days. Its exciting and overwhelming at the same time. My weight is 287, VSG at University Hospital in Columbia, Dr. Ramaswamy.
