Can't believe it's been a year, although once it is around 5:30 PM central, it'll really start to hit...
At the time of the tornado, I was watching the supercell on radar over Joplin and I posted on the alabamawx blog, "Very strong hook echo with debris ball over the Joplin, Missouri area right now, hopefully everyone is alright."
Little did I know how bad it really was...although the signature on radar made my heart sink.
