    It was a funnel cloud that never dropped according to local TV. Moving well north of Joplin now. Really no hard rain or wind from it either...

    Apparently I have to take back what I said... spotters think there's a tornado on the ground about I-44 and Hwy 249. They see flashes from it hitting transformers. Pretty close to the "remains" of the Flying J in east Joplin.
