Joplin Curfew

Starting today, a curfew has been imposed on Joplin, MO. It goes from 9 PM to 6 AM so graveyard workers like myself will need to drop in at one of the four locations set up to get a permit. If you are a resident in one of the damaged areas, someone should come around and give you a permit. Make sure to get one, you get caught driving around without one during the curfew and your ass gets fined.

This is another taste of martial law, Joplin, so get used to it while we work on repairing the damage from the tornados.

Oh, and you are better off buying canned/bottled soda than trying to get it as a fountain drink anywhere in Joplin while this "Boil Law" or whatever the hell it is called is in effect. The water has impurities in it and it will be awhile before it is safe to drink straight from the tap.

No New Tornados in Joplin

Heavy rain and winds for a good portion of the night. All is quiet right now, but more thunder storms heading this way.

Tornado In Joplin

So May 22nd a tornado ripped through the center of Joplin. I was fortunate enough to not be anywhere near it, but several people I know were. Want to get an idea what it was like? I found this video someone recorded while huddled in the back of a gas station.
