One resident living nearly 45-miles away from the hospital told KOAM his yard is now full of debris from the hospital-- medical supplies and x-rays.

Dead at 89 now and rising.

According to Kathy Dennis of the American Red Cross, "75% of the town is virtually gone."
Scenes from the city look much like those of the tornadoes that claimed more than 300 lives in the Southeast last month.

Re: Tornados... 24+ dead in Joplin, MO
We should continue in immediate prayer for them, I was just looking on the radar and it looks like very possible toranadic weather heading for them again, in lest than a couple hours.
Hopefully it either fizzles out or misses harming anyone...

Re: Tornados... 24+ dead in Joplin, MO
My heart is just breaking this morning. Heard from a couple of friends; haven't heard from a couple of people who live in the path of the storm. The damage is horrifying. Very reminiscent of the Alabama storm a few weeks ago.

Hoovie, I know it's difficult when you would want to help so badly, but can't. I watch Walt struggle with that still. Your prayers are the most important thing that you can give right now. THEN if you are able to follow those up with physical help - well, great! But for some of us, that's all we can do. And it is enough.
