Sunday was great until around 5 pm, then all hell broke loose. We spent a hour in the tornado shelter as the storm that nailed Joplin passed overhead and went off to the southwest.
St John's Hospital in Joplin took almost a direct hit, and judging from the pictures on the Weather Channel, the whole area around St John's has been devastated. Joplin is calling for all Doctors, Nurses, Fireman and Medics to come and help out.
We are staying here to help out the mid Ozarks if needed. As I type this, more tornadoes are breaking out along the MO Ark line heading east.
The Bus is in Rockaway, hope the storms go south of him.
After exiting the shelter, I grabbed the camera and shot a few pics of the weather.
Here they are>
IGNORE THE DATE IN THE PICS, IT IS 5/22/2011, I HAVEN'T LEARNED HOW TO CHANGE DATE ON CAMERA.

Man...that was one hellastious storm! Those skies scare the hell out of me and I'm 1,200 miles away. Come on down, hurricane season is just starting and I like your odds on missing storms. Well, this year anyway.
BTW, glad you all are safe.
