My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Missouri and everyone affected by this tragedy.
May God bless the people of Joplin,MO.
I know the storms might not allow this...But have they thought of using the military helicopters heat dectors to fly overhead and search for hidden bodies of people in their storm cellars or basements?
Isaac Duncan and his friends there look traumatized. I hope they can access help if needed. Very brave guys, but they did just survive a near death experience. Hang in there and help each other
the image of the home depot and some of the larger warehouse-type buildings are just horrible – anyone who is alive and trapped must be just terrified and miserable – thinking about all of those in need this evening
Good Night Everyone! I wish the people in Joplin, MO wellness!
Oops Volcano again?
Good night Anderson and crew. Good night fellow bloggers.
Stay strong Joplin. I hope more survivors are found quickly.
Good night everyone. Take care. Good night Anderson. Sweet dreams.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the families in Joplin, MO
I do hope and pray that they find more people alive and that no more bad weather comes to them tomorrow. Hope Will Norton will be okay. Get some rest Anderson and I hope there can be some positive recoveries to report tomorrow. All those homeless people will certainly need alot of help. I will donate again to the Red Cross.
Good night everyone.
Good night everyone.
Have a wonderful week
My condolences to those families affected by the Tornadoes

I was overwhelmed by your interview with Marie Colby. What an amazing girl with a beautiful heart!
"... and everything else is just stuff" – those are incredibly wise and wonderful words from marie
There is some good neighborly people in the time of need.
I just cannot imagine what these people went through. They will all be in my thoughts and payers.
Anderson, I'm a Joplin resident. How can we keep Joplin from becoming another Greensburg, a forgotten tragedy? I'm very worried about the long term future of Joplin given the vast amount of devastation and over two thousand destroyed buildings.
I am originally from Joplin(29 years) now living for the past five years in Knoxville, TN. I am shocked, in prayer and sadden for the loss. I know a couple of the persons killed in the aftermath. I wish I could be there to help clean up my childhood home. Thankfully my family north of Joplin(Carl Junction is safe)
Anderson, you are so courageous to travel to so many dangerous places. Thank you for excellent reporting
Yes, I agree!!!!! He does!!!!!! 🙂
CNN has had great coverage of this tragedy. As hard as it is to watch, I hope people will take cover when they hear the sirens. I used to live in tornado country and we were serious about the warnings. I lived in a neighborhood where some bad damage occurred but no fatalities thank goodness.
Thanks for all the coverage anderson keep it up, I fell so bad for all the people and familes affected by the tornando my hearts and prayers are with you
Thanks God my wife and her friends survived the tornado, they were trapped in the basement while the tornado is ripping out their apartment, they been there to take the NPTExam and just devastated by this experience. God Bless the people of Joplin, MO.
Glad your family is OK. Terrible tragedy for Joplin.
Glad to hear your wife and friends are safe.
Michael,
I am glad your family are doing ok, My hearts goes out to you........ I am happy to hear!!! 🙂
Yes. Anderson was so crying alot, and I also broke my heart as well I have seen this disaster area!!!!!! I know people are so shocking and devastated as well.
I just can not imagine the strength of the winds. Tractor trailors weigh thousands of pounds. You would be lucky to live through that. Your fate is certainly in God's hand when you are in this type of situation.
@Gloria 10:36 Think so too. People say the most quiet place is in the eye of the storm. Is it true?
A flying tractor trailor truck! Those are really heavy right?
Yes or no..... Semi-truck is not heavy as well, It also suck up too.
Did you see the damage to that minivan?! Oh my!
Yes, I have seen many any kind cars, trucks, minivan as well also damage, too.
