Several AARC members have been posting questions today about the tornadoes in Joplin. Our AARC Times staff is assessing the situation by contacting RTs in the state. We are also checking all the news outlets, and as of 4 pm today, it looks like the most up to date news on the Web is:

We are concerned about the people of Joplin and hope to get comments from any RTs who are there and have time to provide them to us. If anyone can give us an update regarding the St. John's Hospital Respiratory Department, please contact us here or by phone at 972-406-4660, and we will report it as soon as possible.
Our thoughts, prayers, and best wishes are with the people of Joplin.
