Sorry for your loss, Brooks. An unfortunate reminder that we are still at the mercy of mother nature.

Mr Brooks, The Warden and I are deeply sorry for your loss as well as the countless other survivors who mourn. We will say not only a prayer for them, but for those such as you, who risk themselves for others.. God Bless and God Speed

I see that the fine folks from Westboro Baptist have decided to protest in Joplin! So very sorry for your loss Mr Brooks.

Thoughts and prayers, Mr. Brooks, for you and your family, and all the others who suffered loss in Joplin.

A friend of mine has a son who lives in Joplin. He's okay, but lost everything except his "keys, wallet, cell phone, and the clothes on his back," according to my friend.

I've dealt with other folks' loss for more than 30 years now, and it just doesn't seem to get any easier. Loss of life is the hardest, but loss of a home is pretty close second. Hope and pray the good Lord spares all here on TGO during this current round of storms.

Joplin now 8th worst tornado in US history, measured by loss of life. Chance it could overtake 7th, I suppose.

Just goes to show that modern weather technology and warning systems can (not always, obviously) save lives. Joplin was the only one on that list within the last 50-60 yrs.

It looks like Joplin will indeed overtake 7th. They are at 142 now according to USA today, only one short of 7th at 143.

With 100 still missing they could move even further up the list. I pray that won't happen though. B)
