Tornado

There has been a devastating tornado that touched down in Joplin, Missouri tonight. A number of people have been killed and the town destroyed. It won't be until the morning hours before they know the total damage that has been wrought upon that community. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

The storms are moving east - we've lost power off and on here all evening. We're under a tornado watch until 4 a.m. Night-time tornadoes are the worst. You can't see them coming and the warnings happen seconds before they hit. We do have a great warning system here and of course the weather radio is on and beeping loudly every few minutes. I'm afraid the post-rapture party had to end early!
