I know Hangfire lives around/in Joplin. Anyone know if he is ok? They got hit really hard yesterday... I don't have a phone number for him.

Yeah I talked to all my other friends in Joplin and they are OK, but no word on Hangfire. Lets keep all those folks in our prayers.
I do hope Hangfire is alright. All of Joplin, are in my prayers.
No reply yet from his email account...
Prayers ongoing.

I'm Fine. I did not have any damage, all my family is accounted for, it took till last night to make the final account but everyone safe. This is the first computer access that I have had and am not sure when I will be able to get back on as this is a borrowed computer. I greatly appreciate the concern and really can not wait to get to Washburn in a couple of weeks.
Hangfire,
So glad to hear that you and your family are all ok. We were definitely worried about you. I wish all of the news coming out of Joplin was as good.
Let us know if you need anything...

Praise God !!
If you need/want anything, just make it known!
Cooper
What Cooper said!!! Prayers continue....
In His Grip,

And he already wants to get back to work! What a guy!
Thank you, Mods, for cleaning up the mercifully unneeded information.
I was afraid that the Washburn shoot would need to turn into a S&R operation.
Again, Thanks be to God!

I have always heard that a picture is worth a 1000 words if that is true than seeing the raft of nature at it's worse first hand is worth a million mind numbing, heart breaking, indescribable words. There is no one in this area that will be left untouched by the devastation that took place at 5:41 PM May 22.
The company that I work for employees about 425 there was 28 families that lost homes. At last news one employee was killed and one employee lost their father.
I did not get a total count how many homes were lost in our church family but it was somewhere around 20-25 with one church member killed.
Three of my cousins lost their houses (3) plus 2 rentals, a welding shop, an electrician business, barn, out buildings trailers, tractors, trucks, cars, vans and 30 cows.
But other than 16 staples and a pint of blood for my 81 year old cousin everyone made it through.
Thanks again for the concerns.
SEE YOU IN WASHBURN :---
Hangfire
Hangfire,
Thanks again for the update, we've all been thinking and praying for you since we got the news. One or your trucking companies has a branch office here in Indiana and is loading up another semi-trailer with supplies to bring your way. A lot of us have been working to get it filled and headed your way.
