23 Dead So Far…How You Can Help Your Fellow Citizens In Alabama!
I grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the heart of Tornado Alley(where they filmed the movie Twister). I've seen some of the biggest tornadoes ever recorded. That smell in the air when the weather is turning, the thunder and lightning, the hail and then it sounds like a freight train barreling towards you. So what just happened to our fellow citizens in Alabama, hits close to home for me. So far according to the IdahoStatesman, at least 23 are dead, including children. The town of Beauregard, Alabama was hit hard by an EF-3 Tornado, which means the wind speeds reach 136 mph.
So when disasters like this happen, we always ask, how can I help. Well I've made a list of ways for you to help the victims, survivors and city of Beauregard, recover from this.
If you have family in the area you can always check in with the Red Cross, they are already on-site. Contact Loved Ones http://redcross.org/safeandwell
