ACM Newsroom is on location this morning in Grove, Okla., assisting with coverage of the deadly and destructive tornadoes that hit this region, not only in Joplin, Mo., but also in the Grand Lake region that The Grove Sun serves.
On Wednesday, ACM Newsroom was able to provide on-the-ground photo coverage of the destruction in Joplin, Mo., a town of 50,000 residents which serves as the economic engine for the four-state region. ACM has newspapers in Grove, Miami and Jay, Okla., as well as Baxter Springs and Columbus, Kan., all located within 45 miles of Joplin.
Later this afternoon, ACM Newsroom will return to Joplin to continue its coverage of this historic deadly and destructive storm, which has claimed 125 lives, injured hundreds more and caused widespread damage to thousands of homes and businesses in the heart of town.
Please check back with this website this evening for continued coverage.
