I know this isn't strictly Chiefs-related but most of us who frequent these forums probably know someone in Joplin or, at the very least, have been there. Being from Tulsa, I drive through there every time I go to see the Chiefs play, which is far too infrequently for my tastes.

Anyhow, I thought ya'll might like to see some of the photos I took of the area. It's been said that the place looks like a war-zone; I agree with this characterization. Hopefully these photos will give you an idea what the residents of southwest Missouri are up against in terms of rebuilding and maybe they'll inspire you to give however you can.

I'll display the images at low-resolution for speediness; high-res copies can be found by clicking through.

Also, some of these photos were taken by my sister. We're kind of a team and whatnot :)
