B-Rent Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 The next step in finding JOMO I believe would be to access the property tax records for the City (if they are available online) and find out the owners of the homes in the immediate neighborhood - and then go there from via Facebook or some other local contacts. i.e. Doug Heady.

Powerball Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 13z run is an improvement, at least for the lower two tiers of counties. NMM showed most of the action along/south of M-59 as well, in the form of a squall line like what the HRRR show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 If NWS Chicago confirms a tornado in Jasper county Indiana, we will have had 2 Jasper counties hit in the same day. Sort of an odd coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

needbiggerboat Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 might want to balance concern for a fellow member against his right to privacy....jomo would likely appreciate all of the expressions of support and empathy, but maybe not so much the level of digging and granularity around his address and other personal information what good would all of this do except satisfying a level of curiosity among those who are looking? casualty rates and probability would suggest jomo is ok, and if so he has a lot on his plate right now...if not, there is nothing anyone can do at this point.

It was a well intentioned mistake, concern for a board members well being. At this point, probably deleting Google Earth maps of his place and the such would be a good idea, but I'd think PMing them to posters who either know him or live in SE Kansas/SW Missouri so they can check would be a good compromise.

Chicago WX Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 They should be deleted now. Legal or not, it's a violation of his privacy. Imagine your house being destroyed and a bunch of internet strangers had figured out where you lived and did everything but post your address and telephone number? It's just common decency. For legal and privacy issues, yes. But the intent of trying to find out where he lived was to find out if his house was in the tornado path. Not saying that you are saying it wasn't, but the "search" was genuinely about the concern many share on this forum about JoMo's well being...then and now. Let's continue to hope for the best.

Oh I know it wasn't malicious. I just think that until we hear from JoMo any information like this should be kept private. If his house wasn't destroyed, it was very close to the path. Leave it at that until we hear otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody can use Google Earth to find a neighborhood. It's sort of creepy and invasive but what things have become in today's world. Posting names/addresses etc. is definitely a step too far.

dan11295 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Many of Joplin's schools were heavily damaged in the Tornado. From the Joplin Globe: Irving Elementary School is a complete loss. Joplin High School has been destroyed. The new East Middle School has been heavily damaged. Franklin Technology Center has been destroyed. Cecil Floyd has been damaged. The central office building at 15th Street and Connecticut Avenue has been damaged as well. St. Mary’s Catholic School has been heavily damaged. over 60% of the City's students have been displaced.

on_wx Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I'm pretty confident that the map that SluggerWx indicating JoMo's location is correct - the one on W 23rd St Terrace - based on his registered email address. Or at least his parents live at that location. Isn't there a way to get an IP address? It's been 17 hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
