    Indeed I am, it was a mess, but they have made tremendous progress in rebuilding. I'm through there every week.

    In my opinion, this video of the Joplin tornado is the most incredible I have ever seen. Even though there is not much video, the audio is self explanatory. You can actually hear the tornado roaring as it approaches, and these people are so calm until it actually hits. They all were in the beer cooler apparently. The sounds of it hitting are just horrifying! [ame]http://youtu.be/cQnvxJZucds[/ame]

    Also, the guy went back to show where they had been and what was left.

    It is incredible that they survived all of this.

    The Petro in Bordentown N.J has really improved! One of the better ones that the I-80 folks don't run. Nice driver lounge/T.V room, workout room and movie room. Newly paved parking lot. Gotta pay to stay though.
