Joplin Destruction: Making Int'l Headlines

Although we're thousands of miles away, all 17 Mizzou kids are sending our thoughts and prayers to our friends from Joplin, Mo. I had four people at work ask me about the tornado and the destruction today, because they know I'm from Missouri. There is real sincerity and concern for SW Mo. over here... I just wish there was more I could do from this distance.

Monday's edition of The Morning Standard, headlined the tornado. This is how many of us heard about the destruction.

I've tweeted some links on how to volunteer and send relief. Follow me on Twitter (@BarbaraManingat) and i can message you the links, if you'd like.
