America... Our Thought Are With You!

Hey monkeys!
MonkeyRock here, and this post is dedicated to the recent natural disasters in Missouri, and around the Mississippi river. As you know, this has caused great devastation around the world, but for us MiniMonos players there are some more concerns.
Firstly, one of our fellow, famous, MiniMonos players, MiniJghRocks has been affected by a tornado the other day. MiniJghRocks has played a big part in the MiniMonos community, and only the other day he hosted one of the biggest MiniMonos parties of all time, the Pirates vs Ninjas Party! MiniJghRocks not only lost his own house in this tornado, but he also lost many of his possessions (what he owned) in this tornado. He also has to put up with the devastation of everything he has lost. MiniJghRocks is also an awesome monkey, and is very friendly to everymonkey as well!

Here is what MiniJghRocks had to say about the tornado:

Hey Monkeys! miniJghrocks here! If you haven't heard, my hometown and state were recently hit by many very powerful and deadly tornadoes. The most powerful, deemed to be an EF5 tornado, hit my very town, and my house. As an effect, my entire house, along with about 150 others surrounding it, we entirely destroyed. Nearly my entire neighborhood was flattened, or damaged. Luckily, (Or not so luckily :S) tornadoes are very common where I live, so the death total only came to 4. The sad part is, two deaths were one of a 15-month old baby, and a three year old.

As for the personal effects to me, my entire house was lost. Luckily, we got out with enough time to collect all irreplaceable belongings and pets, so all of those survived the deadly storm. At first, we didn't know our house was destroyed, but we had assumed. The roads were so bad, we couldn't get in until 2 days after to see. The result was a pile of debris where a house used to stand. Passing by on the way, the damage was just... amazing. I mean, there was a car in a tree, a swing set twisted over backwards on a playground.
Now, to give you an idea of how strong this was, picture this:

There was a group of three 20,000 ton oil tankers together. After the tornado, two were left. Where was the third one? It was over a mile away from the other two, having been lifted up by the tornado. After further inspection, they saw no scratch marks on it, meaning it FLEW through the air to where it landed without touching the ground once. Just imagine that.

Now, the response by our community and surrounding ones was amazing. People have been donating clothes, searching for missing people, helping salvage whatever can be, and more.

I would like to thank everyone who has helped us. While personally we're fine, others aren't so lucky, maybe not having insurance, having lost the life of a family member, etc. So, thank you all for being so supportive! You totally ROCK!

Thanks all you monkeys, pandas, penguins, humans, aliens, martians, or whatever combination of any of those you are. You all really do rock :-)

As well as MiniJghRocks, thousands of other people have been affected by these natural disasters affecting America, so our thoughts are with them in these tough times!

I will not go into detail about what has happened here, but here are some points about what happened! (Taken from Channel One News / MiniMonos Island)

• These disasters have killed more than 120 citizens

• These tornadoes were the deadliest to hit the U.S in 60 years

• They have hit 6 miles long and 1/2 mile wide

• They have FLIPPED and destroyed businesses, trees, and cats

• Phones and Powerlines have been knocked out

• The governor has declared Joplin a state of emergency

• Multi Vortex tornadoes were occurred

• Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri, and Arkansas are victims, and they are still in danger zones.

• It may take weeks or MONTHS for the water occurred by the flood to officially drain out

• It is too dangerous to walk in areas with floods due to the water being toxic from the items from the home getting in the water

• Snakes and Alligators may also be lurking in the flood waters

• Debris is all over the area.

• Water levels are higher than they have ever been before

• Surging water downstream at 9 gallons PER MINUTE

• Walls are against the Mississippi and Smaller Rivers stretching around 3,500 miles along

• If you put the walls end to end, they would be bigger than the Great Wall Of China

In these tough times we will think about these people in need, so as a comment on this post could you please express your thoughts on this! Say what you think about this disaster! Give a message to MiniJghRocks and other victims to wish him good luck with restoration or other things! Or you can make some pictures for the victims of these disasters! Be creative and you can do ANYTHING!

Everything you comment will be edited into this post, and shown to MiniJghRocks and everymonkey that plays MiniMonos!

Start commenting monkeys, and remember to PRAY FOR THE USA :D
