I wanted those of you on here that have friends or family in SW missouri to know that we are thinking of you and hoping for the best in these tragic times. Im not sure how many inforoo(ers) have been affected by this, but Im sure there are a few.
Are there any Emergency relief funds that anyone can suggest in these areas? Maybe we can all put a few of our saved Roo dollars towards helping these people that have been affected by this past weekends tornado.....
The kind folks at Wakarusa will match donations up to $25. Head over to the Wakarusa site to donate. It's just like you're buying a ticket to a Pipeline Production show. These people have always been above board to me so I trust them!
One of my best friends lives in Kansas City. Luckily she had no damage. The tornados this year are horrible! There was an F5 two miles from my house. The devestation this year is incomprehensible to anyone that has not seen it first hand. Over 300 dead in AL from the April 27 tornados. Early count in MO is over 120....and rising. Oklahoma City had a huge F4 today...who knows how many there....this is NOT a good weather year. Pray for everyone. Please.

I have friends that are from JoMo and who's families still live there. My friends are trying to scramble home to help out with the clean-up as we speak, but luckily their families made it through alive and safe. According to word that has been relayed to me through them, food and water are making their way there, but what they really need is clothing.
Good to know! That is the important stuff...knowing what the need really is. For us, it was being without power for a week...u don't realize how much you rely on electricity until you don't have it. Ice, generators, coolers, power invertors, and C and D batteries were the most valuable commidities for a week here! I hope the people in MO don't have the same power woes as we had....

Tried to get on their website but no luck right now. I'll try later.
We don't rely on Obama and the national response....here and I'm sure in MO it is the people in the counties/cities and etc that are helping out and making life livable. If you wait for the government to come in....well....you will suffer. Here as I am sure it is in MO. it is neighbor helping neighbor and communities coming together to take care of their own. I got denied a claim for FEMA because my damage wasn't substantial enough and I make too much. I need a new roof, a new shed and lost two 20 ft trees in my yard. Yet I don't qualify for assisstance. But...I am happy for those that DO who lost so much more....the government isn't going to step in and make it all better.....they may help according to their guidelines but it's the communities coming together that will get us through all this. Don't give the government the credit. It's the people close to us that make ALL the difference in the world!

Im pretty sure he was making a joke about fuck kanye....
during the hurrican they did a PSA and kanye was like"GB doesent care about black people!!! so I think it was a joke!
You are right though you cant wait on the FEDS for nothing!
My ex grew up in Joplin and his family and friends still live there. It's absolutely heartbreaking to see the damage. Our friend was killed at work when the tornado hit. I can't let myself think about what he went through or I will break down. What a terrifying way to end your life. He left behind two daughters.
Lost my house and all of the material possesions to fire a long time ago. So i 'get it' however can not possibly. The neighborhood was still there and the neighbors. (Through cosmic intervention the four legged furry ones that ran the house made it too. Little else. Material can be replaced in time, or not.. Its material.) We watch the news and our hearts break.
Our love and prayers go out to all of the survivors, those who were taken by the storms, and the families and friends trying to cope and recover. There just are not words.
Safe Home to everyone tonight no matter where you are.

Fawnmart, I also lost everything to a fire a few years ago. Terrible stuff. And yet, I can't even imagine how it must feel for these poor souls either.
Love to all. And may everyone here hug their families a little tighter tonight, because life is a mystery and it could all be gone in a second.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
