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.  And it was quite a story on the documentary that a precocious 13-year-old weatherman and meteorologist 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 remained unaffected as did the hotel that they were staying at across the street.
