If anyone knows of drivers in Joplin Mo. today, you may want to check on them. Big tornado went through town, caused a mess at the truck stop as well, reports of trucks blown over.
I have family right next to the truck stop , they are fine, but may want to check on any drivers you know of that were in the area today.

A bad afternoon indeed,,,our Terminal received damage and overturn trailers,,, no injuries at work but as of this morning we have a confirmed injured planner(she is in hospital) and 2 people(fleet managers) that are not accounted for and missing(they were at home)
We are being advised to bypass I-44 and Joplin area and not to venture into Joplin area until further notice,,,
No power in the greater Joplin area as of this time,but im sure it will be up and running soon -
Also take a look at our thread at: http://www.thetruckersreport.com/truckingindustryforum/truckers-weather-and-road-conditions/145067-missouri-tornado-warnings.html
We have a member here who has been posting pretty much non-stop on this since it happened. And it looks like they are in for more. . . -
