Stay safe!!  I saw about 10 minutes ago that Joplin had tornado warnings and storm chasers have confirmed a tornado was on the ground and headed that way.

Just switched to CNN...I think their coverage is live.

It's Piers Morgan, and I don't know if it's a repeat of an earlier show this evening, or if it's current....

I'm getting a little tired of hearing about these douchebags from far and wide descending upon Joplin and looting.

It would be easy to say just shoot the bastards on sight.

Instead I think they should be jailed when caught. Once convicted I think it is only fair in light of the fact that they are preying upon people who have lost everything that they should give up what they've got.

Inventory whatever their assets are the way the I.R.S. does when you owe. List all of their possessions, cars, boats, stocks, bonds, CD's, the whole shebang and auction it off with the proceeds going to benefit the survivors of Joplin.

Then shoot 'em.

It's a quarter after midnight here - stayed up to catch the Cardinals beat the Padres.

Anyway, a lot of slow rolling thunder, so it's on its way here. And the satellite just went out because of the dense cloud cover. There isn't really much looting being reported in Joplin - it's not like Minneapolis.

Uh-oh! It's getting a lot louder outside. The pup just came into the room, and he'll probably get under the desk...........he just did!

We were expecting the worse overnight, but were spared the bullet. Oklahoma got it instead. Although there were fatalities, it wasn't a strike through a major city where it would have caused more damage and inflicted more casualties.

Heard on The Weather Channel, Fox, CNN and CBS that it's supposed to be even worse today. I was doing a lot of channel clicking last night on the first three, and saw CBS this morning...all of them had that whole area covered for severe and "more" severe. First time I have ever seen white used to signify severity ... purple yes, but never white.  :(

Just got back from town and caught the live feed from WDAF on Fox News. We used to live at the top of a hill up on Indianola Drive in Kansas City North. I remember how mean storm clouds can look off to the west. And I remember the '57 tornado in Ruskin Heights in Kansas City.

Keep safe guy. We dodged a bullet last night, hope you folks do, too.

I used to live off of 29 and Barry.  Small world.  It looks like the storm is headed up near Kearney and Smithville now.

One hit near Kankakee, IL, about 30 miles from us. Just cloudy and some light rain here now. Over 3" in our rain gauge since last evening.
