My time in Joplin

I left Nashville Tuesday morning, less than 36 hours after the deadliest tornado in more than six decades ripped through the city of Joplin, Mo., a town of about 50,000 in the southwest corner of the state. I wanted to see if I could tell the story. I wanted to help. Follow my trip and peer into the Joplin chaos where nearly a third of the city was leveled and more than 130 people were killed.

    A day removed from #Joplin and I feel like I need to step back from my photos & audio. The stories are overwhelming.

    It might not come from simply rebuilding, but I think the people of #Joplin will be move on smoothly. They are strong.

    Amazing stories pouring out of #Joplin every day. I'm overwhelmed here. The people are amazing despite the destruction.

    I just submitted a story & nine photos to the #Joplin Globe. A third of the newsroom lost their homes, they're stretched thin.

    Journalists can submit stories, photos & video to the #Joplin Globe now...they are swamped. Help if you can.

    #Joplin survivors are finding hope here at the humane society. I just watched as the first dog rescued was reunited w/its owner.

    Off to the #Joplin Humane Society for a story on displaced pets. I wish I could update more, but service is still extremely spotty.

    Day 3 in #Joplin. Out of the #tornado rubble comes thankfulness to be alive, most attempting to cleanup.
