    Denise, That is RangeLine and MacArthur. From the reports of where the damage is, he would be outside the edge of it.

    Not sure if this is the scanner the Kevin posted above...my sister posted this on Facebook & it makes me feel helpless listening to it.

    If anyone hears from JimC or WZ Junk/ John Kimbro please let us know.

    Ryno, glad to hear your safe.

    BenD & the Boss...glad to hear you guys are safe also.

    Everyone down in SE Missouri...in the thoughts tonight.

    As a reference, as most who have been to the HAMB drags likely visited the Wal-Mart. This is the Wal-Mart at 15th and RangeLine....

    It should have missed the host hotel. Stuff under 32 Street may have got debris not should not have got bad damage. Cant fine any info on the news on it.

    Denise,

    That area is Webb City and should be fine. My mom lives about 2 or 3 miles from Ryno and I have talked to her a couple of times she said everything in the Carl Junction / Webb City areas are OK. Have also heard from my wife's youngest sister who lives near Range Line and Zora (about half way from the Holiday Inn and the McDonalds you referenced) she said they were all OK as well.

    from tulsa, ok

    Really a bad situation. Looks like they are letting some neighborhoods burn because all the emergency people are tied up with rescue and recovery. I'm thinking the 24 reported killed will go higher. Weatherman here in Tulsa said his brother say a lady just laying in a field. Another report from the hospital a nurse said she saw a 300 lb. man just sucked out of a window in the hospital. Very bad hope all our HAMB brothers are ok.

    Glad ben and his family are alright.
