Twisters



Yes, those are real buses and boats and stuff.

Via Digby, comments from Monkeyfister on the desperate situation in the Mid-South after the tornados last night. It's huge.

I can't describe how wide-spread the damage is down here. It's enormous. The Media, per usual, is only just now waking up to the situation, after their Super-Duper-Let's-All-Wet-Our-Pants-Together- Tuesday Political Hangover. Like NOLA, these are REALLY poor folks down here, and have nothing, and nowhere to go.

Here's another post, with contact information to those organizations in the best position to give immediate help.

Since we can't expect anything from FEMA or DHS, it's up to we the people. Lend a hand.
