Tasteless comment - don’t you have a military funeral to protest somewhere
Amazing first person video of the Joplin tornado on YouTube.
Tornado hits a convenient store with about 20 people in it, as they all run to take shelter in the walk-in cooler.
The real stuff starts at about 3:20.

You won’t be seeing this on the major networks, AT ALL, I’d guess, due to the people praying to God to save them. Can’t be showing that, doncha know.
Many of us have family and friends in the area. Many of us (my family) have lived in SW Missouri. This is really not the time and place to take issue. Please let it go.
Not much to see, but the audio is pretty amazing for sure.
Thank you so much for posting the link. That is one amazing video. Prayers for all of Joplin tonight.
Thanks for posting that video. The audio was terrifying. I am shaking like a leaf. I can’t even imagine the terror those people must have felt.
Please pray tonight for the people of Joplin. It’s going to be a very rough night for all of them.
Too ages. Should have been room mates....
My bad
There were some scared people in there. That was a close one.
Any idea what the C Store looked like after the tornado hit?
where is the golden corral located.. I have friends that eat there everyday for supper...
they live on w. zora st at north upland.. is this anywhere near where the tragedy struck.. i can’t reach them
rick and jan hooper
I’m in Texas... have posted several requests for information about my friends... my prayers are with everyone..
trying to reach Rick and Jan Hooper.. they live on W. Zora at N. Upland... is this anywhere near the main area of destruction????
Where is the Golden Corral?? They eat there everyday
So good to hear she is okay! It’s a miracle - the more I read about where she was, the more I feared she may not be okay.
The devastation is far worse than I expected, course I only went to about 20th and saw lots of debris but went no further because there were so many rubberneckers - I think if I went a few more blocks I would have seen a truer picture.
I’ve only lived here 4 years but I am so afraid to go to work tomorrow, how many colleagues were touched by this? Did any die? Yikes
That audio is beyond intense...there is nothing you can do except pray.
Wow... prayers for everyone in Joplin. What a tragic day. The images are just staggering.
Agreed. Many prayers for all there.
G-d have mercy...
Wow, incredible.
That was extremely difficult to listen to. Seems they got hit about 2:10 and it seemed to get better then got hit again a minute later.
