MSSU newspaper editor survives Joplin tornado

One of those caught in the middle of the tornado Sunday was Brennan Stebbins, who has been the most recent editor of Missouri Southern State Univeristy's campus newspaper, the Chart:

Twenty people at a convenience store darted into its cooler as the building began to collapse around them. A video camera inside recorded the group praying and crying as the storm hit in two separate waves. Brennan Stebbins, 23, said he thought he might die, but all were able to climb out of the rubble of the Fast Trip without major injuries.

  1. Is TR still in Joplin? If so, how is he and how to contact? Just learned of his departure from the university. Ugh
