Our thoughts are with the people of Joplin this morning. Unless you've seen it, you simply can't imagine the devastation that a tornado such as this can cause. Tuscaloosa was easily as severe as any damage I have ever witnessed - this one in Joplin seems equally as bad.
If any good thing can come from situations like this, it can oly be the opportunity to learn. Learn to react when warnings are given - most people don't. Learn to plan ahead for what to do when a situation turns dire. Learn to be prepared.
Most of all, learn to be compassionate - do all you can to help your neighbors in need, even if they are a country away.
