Joplin

What a week. Last Sunday, as we were about to sit down to dinner with Jordan's family, cell phones started buzzing and the news of the Joplin tornado emerged. Panic ensued as both Jordan's grandmother and uncle live in this small Missouri town. Luckily, within the hour, both were accounted for, albeit shaken. My brother in law put together this incredible map view of the tornado's path, and just how close it came to Nana's house. She was lucky only to have trees down and windows blown out, since much of the area around her is demolished.

James Spann tweeted yesterday that that this tornado season was officially over. God, i hope so.
