I really feel for those people.

From the pictures it looks about as bad as it gets. The death toll will be high unfortunately.

Looters should be shot on sight.

I would add... Looters should be shot multiple times on sight.

We’re under the gun here in NW Arkansas, too. These storms get really unnerving.

Area weather guy just said that, due to weather conditions, we may have similar evening excitement as the potential for storms to develop will continue to linger for 2-3 days.

You sure are. Thankfully the one that started just west of Siloam Springs has weakened quite a bit. Still plenty of lightening, though.

75% is a lot. Joplin is a decent sized place.

***That Wal-Mart was done in. I hope no one was killed there.***
No doubt some of the anti-Walmart people will be well pleased. Hope no one was killed or hurt but it will make me take notice whenever Walmart tells people NOT to leave the store due to tornadoes!

CNN has had great coverage on the Joplin tornado over the last couple of hours. Unfortunately, Fox News has had Whorealdo talking about the Casey Anthony murder case in Florida. Very bad job Fox News.
