STATE OF EMERGENCYGovernor Jay Nixon will tour the storm damage at Fair Grove High School Saturday, one day after a swath of wind-whipping storms swept across Missouri, damaging property, causing injuries and taking at least three lives.
***
The roof was ripped off the Fair Grove High School as a result of what's being called by meteorologists as an "inland hurricane."
Nixon's tour is scheduled to begin at 1:30 p.m.
Willard Rep. Shane Schoeller says he'll also attend.
The Governor is slated to visit Joplin around 11 a.m.
Nixon declared a state of emergency earlier Friday:
"My primary concern is the safety of Missourians and this executive order makes state agency resources available to help communities respond to the storms," Gov. Nixon said.

CONGRESSMAN ROY BLUNT STATEMENT:
"My thoughts and prayers are with the families and communities . . . Our area has seen this type of destruction and much worse in the past but always come together to help friends and neighbors recover."
