Someone told me from there (not Joplin) but just up some miles ...that how you tell how bad it was is If ... "When You look to see if it PEELED the BARK off the trees".........and this one certainly did ..
oh my G.... We've had some bad winds out here, KNOCK on wood, nothing like that though !
The winds here this year have gotten worse . they are scarier .. our weather is different .. We had a longer winter ? .. and IT's still not hot here yet .. getting there .. but NOT there ...so weird ..Of course we are enjoying the cool beautiful nights ..it 's just so darn different though .. for this time of the year .. ;) It seems to me everywhere the earth is telling us stuff ...whether subtly or loudly ... some of us sre listening & seeing ... and many have been FORCED to listen ... and then there are those .. who just don't seem to see or hear ... .. or understand what everything is showing us. .
