The Alabama Tornados and how you can help.

With the world still recovering from the recent earthquake, tsunami, and nuclear meltdown, it's heartbreaking to find out about the massive tornado that devastated Alabama today, killing more then two hundred people. Two hundred people from as many families. Mothers, fathers, children, all displaced. It's impossible for me to understand how hard it must be for these people to start over, some of them now alone, without their families as I sit comfortably, in my living room, cuddling my son..

Even if all you can do is hope or, if religious, pray for these people.

If you have a few extra dollars, consider donating at www.redcross.org

Also, as an afterthought, before donating to any charity, check it over with www.Guidestar.org or http://www.charitywatch.org/ They hold charities accountable and rate them based on the amount of money they spent on advertising, aid, etc. so you can make a more informed decision.
