Fellow free radio enthusiasts,

Below is the text I've posted on wbcq.com and worldmicroscope.com concerning the frn. I'll keep you posted on those sites and here as we learn more.

Regards,

The website for the Free Radio Network (FRN) and it's active message board are hosted in Joplin, Missouri, which on May 22 was the site of a devastating tornado outbreak. As a result the site is currently offline. At this time we have not been able to contact John Cruzan, the server's owner and long time free radio enthusiast and sponsor of the FRN.

We will keep you informed as we learn more about this situation. Please keep the residents of Joplin in your thoughts.

From the rabbits facebook page:
"Commander Bunny
Our thoughts and prayers are with John Cruzan in Joplin, Missouri, where the FRN server is located. Lets all drop the infighting and pray for John and his family!"

Agreed. Given the obvious size of the twister, let's hope that he got enough advanced warning to be safe.
