(VIDEO) Grand Lake Hit By Tornado Just After Joplin

Ted Allison, the President and CEO at the St Joseph Metro Chamber of Commerce, tells us his brother Andy Allison was at Grand Lake Sunday when a tornado touched down.  Andy and his wife Mary Allison are building a house at the lake.  They lost part of the house, two boats, and a new boat dock during the storm.

Allison tells us his brother and sister-in-law rode out the storm under the stairs in their walk-out basement, and were not hurt.   The tornado touched down shortly after the twister that devastated Joplin.

Here’s some video of that twister, and another one that formed a short time later, that were posted on YouTube.  The view is from the Shangri-La resort.
