Report from brother, Rod Carson, in Joplin – conversations with people who, having taken cover in center rooms of their houses, basements, or storm shelters, emerged after the tornado only to find the entirely unanticipated:
“A common theme among people I’ve talked to who crawled out of wreckage
is the expectation of finding local damage and instead finding total devastation.”
