Yesterday in Joplin, Missouri:
20,000 more people had electricity
People went to work at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, St. John's Hospital, IHOP, Chic-Fil-A, Academy Sports, Pizza Hut, Long John Silvers, Payless Shoes, McAllisters, Walgreens
Teachers and students planned to go to school for two more weeks to finish the school year
People were scared {but not terrified} about tornados
5,000 more people had damage-free homes
People were not clamoring for missing relatives
There was no need for the help of FEMA or the National Guard
116 more people were alive
Our community is shocked and devastated at the sense of loss we are feeling after an EF4 tornado ripped through the heart of the town, destroying everything in its path with its 198 mile an hour winds.
We are fine, many are not.
Please pray for our community.
Praying Jen. Be safe. ((Hugs))
