    Ponder this friends, we will have a storm that lasts through 2 sleep cycles for those of us sane enough to not go allnighter.

    I haven't slept since the Epic Euro run the other night.Had to get up to wiz,checked the Euro and it's been insane since. Big deal for me as a facility manager. As an aside our EM cadre was told by homeland security to expect up to 40 inch amounts in ECT. Not buying that but that text got the blood flowing more than Cialis ever could

    JoMo - a year ago today a lot of us on here were worried the worst had happened after your final post as the couplet approached. Through the interwebs, we tried to track down your location to see if you were in the path, hoping to give some inclination that we had not lost one of our fellow weather fans. We feared the worst and hoped for the best. It's amazing to remember that I was combing through google maps a year ago tomorrow night trying to identify if you survived...I still can't believe that's what we were doing - looking for your location to see if it was in the worst damage path - for any sort of idea of your well-being.

    This likely pales in comparison to what you were going through a year ago tomorrow night - I can only try to understand through the amazing first hand account you've shared with us over the past year. JoMo Survived!!

    The moment first word broke that you were ok - I remember yelling out to my wife 'He's okay!' She knew exactly what I was talking about...cried a little bit at that time -out of joy/relief (I'm sorry if that's weird - maybe it is, but it was so uplifting to see that in such a moment of tragedy, this community of enthusiasts had a member that made it). I'm a grown adult man, but at that time - it was a glimmer of hope in the shroud of unspeakable tragedy we had only begun to understand.

    I've never met you, but I do want you to know that my thoughts and prayers were with you then, and they will continue to be with you and your fellow neighbors of Joplin as you relive this experience one year later.

    Glad you're alive, my friend.

    -Ryan

    Very well said and my sentiments. Thank you JOMO for all the updates.

    Tragic day for the Cold Miser family.

    I understand. Hell, even before last month I would have been busting out laughing, the pictures are pretty funny though.

    Kind of hard to laugh when my little brother from another mother's prayer card from his wake is propped up on my computer desk in front of me.

    Sorry about being a wet blanket :(

    i know exactly how you feel. Sh it for a year I could not laugh at crash funny vids. Its raw and right in front of you. I have my step daughters card on my computer too. But time heals bro, we cry we laugh. when reading stuff that bothered me I found it better to not comment and remember what it was like before my life changed. I am sure no one is more sensitive to your type of situation than Garth but he too has learned to roll with life and have some fun. Its all good bro.
