Roger Hill -One of the most harrowing experiences I have had while chasing EVER! We were about 3 blocks ahead of the Joplin tornado trying to get south of out its way as power flashes to our immediate west occured and you could make out the outline of the large multivortex tornado in the rain. People driving like nothing goin on! Insane. Still catching my breath.
Prayers for all involved. This thread shows why Free Republic is simply the best, with the best people. Thanks, JimRob.
My best friend lives in Joplin near 28th & Grand. It’s between St Johns and a high school my son said had damage. Praying they are ok
