Here was the scene in the lot of the Flying J in Joplin. It's just 35 miles North of my home. We were lucky. Just some roof damage.

The hospital looked even worse down there. This weather is definitely out of the norm. Rumor from another site is that the Chrome Shop Mafia's shop was destroyed as well. Not sure how true that might be....

The storm entered MO North of exit 4, where 4 states, the Petro, Pilot, and the Love's are located. It then seemed to turn East. If you're familiar with Joplin, Range Line RD which is Business 71(I 44 exit 8), had most businesses destroyed. A Super Wal Mart was reduced to 2 partial walls from one pic I saw. KW, which is across the highway from Flying J, is gone. ConWay TruckLoad(formerly CFI) took a hit too. Building damage, and some lost equipment. They're about a mile and a half from the Flying J.
Thanks everyone for the well wishes.
