Alabama Tornado Information

Greetings to everyone cleaning up from and sorting supplies following last week's horrible tornado outbreak across Alabama. It is a gigantic job and will take a long time to recover.

I lived in Tuscaloosa, AL for several years and graduated high school there. Three of my high school friends' businesses are severely damaged, so I am helping with the efforts there. PLEASE know that the damage in the Birmingham area and all the small areas across Alabama are also beyond words. WE NEED HELP. Our state revenue (among other things) suffered tremendously due to the BP/Gulf Oil Spill and our kids' schools are already looking at massive cutbacks next year. Jefferson County has lost unspeakable amounts of money due to bad bond deals and we pay the highest sewer rates probably known to man. We did not need these tornados to make things worse, but oh well.

How can you help?

On Facebook, please join / like two sites I am administering: Tuscaloosa Tornado Donations and Tuscaloosa Tornado Updates. On the Updates page, there is a document in the right column entitled Monetary Donations for Tuscaloosa Tornado Recovery. That document has links to organizations where the funds will STAY in Tuscaloosa. I am updating this constantly.

We need stuff. Our stores are running out of basic supplies. Some amazing peeps at Auburn University have set up a site called Toomer's for Tide. These energetic, relentlessly dedicated volunteers are finding drop off sites across the US. Please visit their Facebook site, Toomers for Tide and go to their document listing by state to learn where you can drop off stuff.

Thank you so very much for your consideration to help out the amazing people of Alabama. XO!!!!

Excellent info, beautiful. There's also a need for blood and especially platelets; contact www.lifesouth.org for locations.

Greater Birmingham Humane Society needs supplies to help with the animal tornado victims. If you can donate pet food or bedding, please bring to our address on 300 Snow Drive, Birmingham Al 35209.
