Does anyone know how many are still missing in Joplin?

[SaintDismas]

Dear Lord Jesus my Savior please touch these people with your healing hand

EOC in Joplin refuses to say....they are still working on the 1,500 number. Quote from incident commander, “A VAST, VAST number of these 1,500 are alive and well, but have either not informed other relatives of their safety or made contact with the EOC to confirm their status”.

[Farmer Dean]

The last number I heard this afternoon was 1500.That’s just staggering...

I’ve got a grandson that age, it brings tears to my eyes. Rest in peace little one, may you be by Jesus’s side.

The figure of 1500 is used but no way there are that many deceased. Physically impossible. Most homes searched by now. Perhaps a few bodies could be missed, but not 1500. I suspect more will be found at Home Depot. Other businesses as well.

I am sorry. there are so many tragedies

[TaraP]

Prayers and GOD’s comfort to his family...

I read somewhere that babies, children are swept up to heaven right away by the Angels of heaven during death and are in the arms of Jesus, they don’t know anything terrible happened to them...

The pain are for the loved ones left behind...

Prayers up for Skyular, his family, and all those grieving in Joplin.

Notre père, qui êtes aux cieux!
Que votre nom soit sanctificié. Que votre règne vienne.
Que votre volonté soit faite, sur la terre comme au ciel.
Donnez-nous aujourd'hui notre poindre ce jour.
Pardonnez-nous nos offenses, comme nous pardonnons aussi a ceux, qui nous ont offensés,
et ne nous soumetez pas à la tentation, mais délivrez-nous du mal.
Car c'est à toi qu'appartiènne, le régne, la puissance et la gloire, pour les siècles des siècles.
Amen.

Je vous salue, Marie, pleine de grâces,
le Seigneur est avec vous, vous êtes bénie entre toutes les femmes,
et Jésus le fruit de vos entrailles est béni.
Sainte Marie, Mère de Dieu, priez pour nous pauvres pécheurs,
maintenant, et à l'heure de notre mort. Ainsi-soit-il.

Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)

Dear God, be with the family and all who loved this beautiful child here on earth. He is now in Your loving Arms.

I love that song, though it does make me cry.

It was sung at the funeral of the 10-year-old daughter of friends of ours. They changed the first verse to be “Ten years is too little...”

Praying for this family tonight that they feel the arms of Jesus around them. That they be held. :*^(

The stories tonight on 360 are heartbreaking.

I commend Anderson Cooper for staying with this story.

1500 are still missing.

God, please help the people of Joplin, and all those who have been lost or have lost someone in tornadoes this year.

Thanks for the replys.

The stories are heartbreaking.....and we will hear many more, sad to say.

My brother-in-law is a Sheriff and EMT from Southeast Kansas. He was called to Joplin when they first got word of the devastation in Joplin. He felt his first job was to reach his mother when he got to Joplin. Even with sirens and red lights, it took him until 11:30 that night to reach her home and evacuate her. I was on the phone with him off and on all that night. I asked him if the reports about 89 fatalities was accurate....His response?.....I saw that many bodies just on the way to Mom’s house.

He is still in Joplin working on search and recovery. Mr. RR flew down there Monday morning to help his mother. At least we found her another place to live, at least for a time.

Please keep all the people in your prayers.

Can you photoshop that w the Midwest tornado pics.

My youngest son is just a few months older than Skyular. I cannot even begin to imagine the pain.

Prayers for Skyular, his family and everyone who had the pleasure of knowing him. May God look over his parents and lead them in healing from a loss no parent should ever have to endure.

1500 was yesterdays number, at presser tonight they said about 750. And as others have mentioned, they may be with friends or family, it only means someone is looking for them.
