The state of Missouri is mobilizing Joplin relief efforts. Cities and counties across the state are organizing everything from telethons to blood drives. Here is what is going on in my neck of the woods.

For those of you who have already helped, thank you so much. For those of you who are considering it, please, help.
Thanks.
On edit, any prayers, vibes or wishes you have for us, please pass them on, we need them here in Missouri. We got hammered yesterday, not just in Joplin, but in areas around the state. And the forecast doesn't look good. Joplin got hammered with rain and severe storms yesterday, and the northern half of the state is being lined up for another round of severe storms tomorrow night into Wednesday. This means that already rain swollen streams and rivers are going to flood, some in my neck of the woods already are. Again, thanks for all you can do.
