Missouri Tornado prayers go out to all

A terrible tragedy! We were hit here as well (Minneapolis) by the same storm system that caused the devastating destruction in Joplin. Now news of more deaths in Oklahoma today.
I'm truly saddened, as all of us are, by these events. RIP for those who lost their lives. Sincere condolences but also best wishes and hope for the future for the survivors!

Terrible weather this year. Prayers to the flood victims as well.

I have heard two things; it will take at least two years to restore the primary services - schools, govt. department buildings, etc. Also, the majority of people have been housed temporarily, due to the kindness of others, in friends and relative's homes. May these people be restored in time and be living proof of the power of the love of our neighbor.

These situations make all our problems seem so small. Quick healing and recovery to all who have suffered so much.
