OP,
I had several friend (Customers) who lived and still live in Joplin. Brace yourself for what you are about to witness.
The damage will be extream. Its the closest thing to a nucular blast.

Our hearts go with you as you assist in the clean up efforts. I go to Joplin at least once a month. Place is back humming and all new, but the loss of life is still heavy in the hearts.
