major tornado hit south side,,hospital damage..home destroyed
the weather channel live coming up
Where are you?
I don’t know if Fox even covers breaking news like disasters and such anymore - especially on a weekend. It’s sad. CNN always seems to be the place to be when something like this occurs. Weather Channel also doing a good job.
Best friend lives at 25th and Grand. Any news as how hard that area was hit. It’s not far from St Johns.
Weather Channel had actually shown bodies on air...Bettes advised cameraman not to show any additonal shots of that nature...
Between Gentry and Siloam springs.
Wonder how my working companions at SW City made out?
The south side of the Walmart on the east side of Joplin is leveled,,a lowes abot 1/2 mile south of this location is also destroyed..
There was a freeper with inlaws on the south side of Texas street
unfortunlaty that area would fall in between these two points
unconfirmed reports now say 40 dead
Prayers, my friend.
75%??
Words fail.
...where did you hear or see this info janet?
Fox is a joke as a real news organization. Sad to say, but its true. For politics, they are better than the rest but have trended left for the past 10 years.
Any real honest-to God breaking news, I have long ago learned not to waste time on FOX.
I’m in Eureka Springs. Seems to have mellowed out here a little, but as of right now we are still under a tornado watch until 4 am.
My heart goes out to all in Joplin. Hope all your friends and relatives in the area are safe. Talk about feeling helpless in the face of nature’s awesome power. Prayers up!
Praying for you to be calm. Loved ones hopefully be found safe.
Praying for loved ones in Joplin.
Thanks, Vel. I was finally able to reach my niece on her cell phone. We talked for about 10 seconds before the line went dead. She was in tears, hysterical, and said “Grandma was............” and then we lost contact. Don’t know what is going on, but they lived in the hardest hit area. Very near the Lowes that was flattened. It will be a long night for us.
Thanks for the heads up dear FR friend. Would not have known without FR!
You're very welcome. In the midst of such tragedy... a joyful event will take place, although tempered by the harsh reality of nature's destructive power.
Wow! that has to be at least a mile wide. My prayers for all in the path of that monster.
So you actually talked to Grandma? She’s alive?
Please update as possible.
They’re still saying F4.
My ex had paperwork from St. John’s Hospital in his yard, 30 miles away.
Hoping for the best, RR. Take care.
Wow!
God,Maybe she can call back.
