This link will take you to a story that Lori wrote about the Joplin tornado.

We actually did receive the tornado warning at the Mt Vernon Church of Christ via a text message from her during the evening sermon -- from El Salvador! I immediately switched my iphone to the weather channel and there was not yet a severe weather warning! I notified the congregation and we spent the evening in the church basement.
