Joplin Missouri

 Joplin, Missouri.  That’s a thought in my head tonight.  I guess it’s because earlier today I watched that documentary on Netflix about the tornado that hit Joplin, Missouri.  I’m trying to remember if my brother and sister-in-law went there.  There was quite a story on the documentary about a precocious 13-year-old weatherman and meteorology enthusiast who traveled along with his mother to visit Joplin, Missouri, placing them there at the time of the tornado.  They were having dinner in a café when the tornado struck Joplin and the café was in a location remained unaffected by the tornado along with the hotel that they were staying at across the street.  

Yes, it turns out that my brother and sister-in-law did travel to Joplin to help with rebuilding efforts.  My brother is the one of my parents’ children who did stuff like that.  They volunteered for habitat for humanity also.
