Yes and very close to me. We're going to gather old clothes and take them to a drop off for victims who have lost virtually everything.

Footage from one of our news agencies flyover.

Good for you! Neighboring communities need to band together.

It'll keep going up. They're still pulling bodies out of a Home Depot that was destroyed.

I'm listening to Jasper County law enforcements live audio feed and they've just issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the area.

I'm hearing rescue/law enforcement are requesting two more trailers for the obvious reasons. Wow.

The NWS is now saying the tornado was an EF4 with winds of up to 198mph.

im at fort leonard wood and thats only a two hour or so drive from us that shit is crazy. we get hit with the same storms from them but no where near as bad. On new years eve we had a EF4 tornado hit the base it was crazy no one died but alot of houses are gone. I feel very bad for those people affected by these super storms that seem to get worse every year. But usually mankind can pull together and you get to see the good side of people come together.
