Hey everybody... a huge mile wide tornado hit my town (Joplin Mo) yesterday. It's bad. The way people lost their lives is over taking. Reports coming in show over 100 deaths so far,and many missing. I have to see if my parents are ok... cant get ahold of them. The pictures that I have seen make me feel guilty for living. A couple of teenagers working at Pizza Hut got in a walk in cooler... the cooler is gone. A guy I know lived in an apt. complex: he took shelter in a closet and the others in the hall...... he lived the others are gone. Well.... later.

thanks guys. You don't know how much that means to me. Parents are ok, did some roof repair and tried to get in to help others,but the police couldnt let me due to power lines. People this is bad! I have never seen this kind of total wreckage. I hate it.... still finding bodies... just saw an add on craigslist that someone found two kids. They are looking for the parents. More than 75% of Joplin Mo. is gone. Thanks again.....

melonwheels, How awful and devastating and sad this is. I am so sorry for you and all the people in Joplin MO. I am saying prayers for all of you and I hope everyone will heal from this Tragedy. When something like this happens it effects everyone, as we realize life is so very fragile and you just never know how long any of us, have here. I am so glad you survived and your parents too.

One more thing.... The people from around the area have come together by helping with donations, clothes, places to stay.... law enforcement, fire, medical, friends,family..... to know that is comforting. They are still pulling people out.... God be with them.

OK.... people this maybe the last time I can talk about this.... this really is the fuck'n worst thing I have ever fuckin had to go thru my life. I have many stories to tell you all that you would never hear on the news.Stories of rescue, death, and people thinking of other people. Here it goes..... I just found out that a guy I know ( for a short time ) is "gone" he ran the store called " Cool Guitars" I bought things from him because he was a damn cool guy. We started riding bikes together, and jamming . He is gone.... no trace... just gone. So ... Willie hey man! keep on jamm'n man and I will find you later. I got cold beer and ready to jam!!! We will ride again!! I hate this sooo much. NOW, the low life mother fuckers from " The Westboro Baptist Church" is coming Sunday to protest.... " God hates Joplin" Im a biker.... there is 300 bikers going to stop them. I have had enough..... will tell you what happens. Paul
