Any more counts on death toll in Joplin?

I've heard from word of mouth(a friend of a coworker has a brother in EMS who is on scene) that it was now over one hundred. After a search I couldn't find anything updated.

Anyone find anything after 90? I just wondered if anyone had heard anything recent.

2. That's the total I heard about a half hour ago

but couldn't find the confirmation.

Guess the word of mouth I received was a legit source after all. :(

3. I was listening to news radio on the way home.

About a half hour ago, they said over one hundred. They said that was confirmed.

This is so awful.

4. City manager in link above confirmed 116 known.

Acquaintance says that it's rumored on scene to be 120+.

5. a town of 30,000 blown away.

It would be all too easy to mention

a) Government is ALL that can help on such a huge scale, and help quickly
b) Global climate change means more and more tornadoes and other odd weather
c) cutting FEMA and federal investment will bite you harder than you could ever imagine
d) We DO truly care for you, your family, and your futures. That is why we are liberals.

but I won't.
