Does anyone know if there is a red cross station or where the rally point is for medical? I have friends in route looking for their parents. Any info is appreciated.

People are now looting overturned semi-trucks. Per Joplin PD.... trapped people all over. Fight broke out a little less than an hour ago. Joplin PD had to stop a guy w/ a gun for threatening to "shoot looters". Some confusion at this time of where a makeshift morgue will be established.
This is going to be a LONG night for Joplin. For those that can help in the coming days/weeks... do so, but DO NOT DRIVE TO/THRU THE AFFECTED AREAS. We just had this whole experience play out in northern Alabama on April 27th.... you are a hindrance if you are just driving around getting in the way.

I agree with Mike Johnston ... For everyone else looking for information, a Facebook page has been established. Search for Joplin Tornado Info and Joplin Tornado Recovery.

i would expect more looting as this hit the main business area of town.

Looting is RARELY a problem in disasters - I'm surprised it is rampant already. What sort of businesses are being looted already?

Well I just moved from Miami, Ok and would travel to Joplin daily. My friends said that people had shopping carts full of stuff stealing from walmart... and Acadamy sports is busted open... there are guns and cool stuff in there. I guess people might want hunting equipment and canoes and stuff.

Friend of mine has family in Joplin. Her entire family was affected. Like 7 different families lost everything. Not one person is uninjured and a nephew is missing.
