Yes it is Misty. Our community is awesome! I am so amazed at the way Joplin has pulled together and the outpouring of help from others during this tragedy. This is my church and I plan on helping when rebuilding begins. #9437211

Kathy, Thank you for sharing this touching piece of work. I'm glad you were safe during the tornado. #9437283

Thank you Laura. We were lucky, the tornado missed us by 4 blocks and my daughter's family by 2. This is the worst tragedy I have ever experienced. #9437300

An excellent story photo Kathy. Your words are a nice compliment to the image.

I'm sorry to say that I didn't think of you when I heard about the tornado. It is hard for me to imagine such devestation.

So glad to know that you and your family are safe. Still I'm sure the storm will affect your lives for a long time. #9444991

That's ok Irene. I didn't know if anyone even knew where I live. I have truly never seen anything like this in my 58 years. And hope to never see again. We were very fortunate to escape this devestation. My heart aches for those that weren't so fortunate. #9445517
