It was all pretty calm in my immediate area, thunder and lightning, no real wind or hail and no tornado sightings. Now down south in Okla & Arkansas, they had a real bad night. And sirens sent the poor already shell-shocked Jopliners running to shelters for about an hour and a half.

KC on air newsman reporting from Joplin had to run for cover twice. Fortunately the basement for St. John's Medical Center was still intact and useful. The firemen, police, other newsmen and all the people there from other areas who came to help were hunkered down in St. John's basement.

I would bet a lot of people in that area have discovered or rediscovered God over the past few days.
