The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (SPECIAL) The KGB Back Room Joplin, MO Tornado.

I've stopped in this city many times travelling from Oklahoma to my hometown in Missouri. One picture of a cross that's still standing, while the church surrounding it was leveled. Also I'm posting a link to other pictures. A couple of them show bodies covered up FYI.

Holy Fuck..

I've seen the damage from a tornado firsthand and I must say those images are some of the worst carnage I've ever seen with my eyes either personally or images/video.

The photographer really captured the brutal scenes so well they're haunting and I cannot even begin to image the loss of life and property.

I'm awestruck but thanks for sharing. We had 2 confirmed touchdowns this early evening. 20-30 miles or so North and as of yet no real reports; more at dawn I'm sure.

Be safe out there Wolf (and everyone)

I seen those its terrable and bad but still nothing compaired to what happens here and the mirricals ive seen,

MO is lucky in my book after loosing family and friends over the years seeing body parts on my front door and escapeing death in a bathtub

My heart goes out to the ones who has had to deal with that tornados are no joke in MO and AL and any other State that has a natural disaster tornado or earthquake

mother nature is a bitch when she is on the rag and kills plenty of great people

I'm not a religious man but my prayers go out 2 them all

I drove through it as it was happening

This is what happens when Jesus leaves the country on business for a week.

Hell brakes loose.

I am going to have to take away Beelzebub's privileges for the next 999 days when I get back. I am going to ban him to the 84th level of hell, otherwise known and the "Barry Manolo Suite".

wow crazy dude I'm glad your ok

My powers to leave destruction in my wake and call forth such awesome power to clear the land in front of me is all just another day at the office of adjustments and claims for me

lol

Where were you when the Twister was on the ground? Because they had shutdown I-44 and other major roads around Joplin just after the Tornado hit.

Those pictures are nothing. I have a friend I went to school with that went to Joplin to help clear powerlines. He said pictures takes away the effect of the real scope of damage.

Some of the stories are unbelievable. There was a story that a local meterologist here in OK had a son living in Joplin and was caught in the Tornado. He had said his son seen a piece of wood Impale a person killing them, as he watched. Another story, an 18 yr old was sucked out of his car through the sunroof. And one of the saddest stories I heard today. A 10 month old baby still hasn't been found, the parents are in the hospital in critical condition. That one really tugs at your heart strings.

Also this evening, we've had 80 mpg gusts and a place near the Kansas/OKlahoma line had 100 mph gusts. There was a Tornado that hit a rural area southwest of Oklahoma City that scarred the earth it was so powerful. There was no vegatation on the ground at all, even grass. It leveled homes that it came close to. The picture I posted is of the Tornado.
