    Im, sitting here at the truckstop in Lamar mo. just north of Joplin, sorta looks like the storms are heading this way. Prayers are with the people in oklahoma looks like there getting it pretty bad. They were interviewing storm chaser in OK, he said he followed tornado on 40 and watche it cut a couple tractor trailers in half.

    Watching the weather report it is moving fast out of Oklahoma and right into Missouri again. Feel sorry for the people in Joplin they have had enough already and it keeps coming back.

    That's a big line. We had a nasty one roll across just north of KC this afternoon. I got a run up to Chicago and I got about 90 miles to go in the morning. Hopefully I won't wake up with restaurant all over me.

    I delivered in Hannibal, MO this afternoon, and was on the edge of the storm heading home. No bad storms right here, just more rain we didn't need right now. But the way this year's gone, just being a little soggy is something to be thankful for.

    Just a few showers this morning. I'm not sure how much we actually had rain guage was plugged up. The rain will help the fall crops.

    Some guys just don't do the proper maintenance or maybe he just gave up on inspecting his equipment.
