Friday Update: News 3's Michael Oder and the three trucks from Bryan/College Station are finally headed back to Texas. After spending Thursday in tornado-ravagedoplin, Missouri, the convoy is moving back through Oklahoma and into Texas. The donations from the Brazos Valley finally reached their destination early Thursday afternoon. Two trucks were unloaded in a grocery store parking lot off Ridge Line Road and 32nd Street, just six blocks from the heaviest damage from Sunday's deadly tornado. The third truck arrived late Thursday afternoon and was sent to several donation sites across town, including the Joplin Regional Airport. At every donation site, donated goods from the Brazos Valley were put directly in the hands of Joplin residents. Many of them lost everything but the clothes they were wearing. The trucks are expected to be back in Bryan/College Station by Friday evening. ----------------------------------------------------
