Awesome! They're tweeting this morning that they do need donations and that they definitely need people to help today. They've requested industrial size trash bags, ponchos, batteries, and flashlights. Beta is also distributing today it appears.
Seriously, anyone out there that can help in any way...please, please, please do. You can give blood and designate it for tornado-struck areas, give money to the Red Cross, send donations, foster a displaced animal until its owner can be found, and help by volunteering. Small communities are especially desperate. Yesterday I heard Brookwood and other small communities around Birmingham have had little to no help on site...it's probably the same for the small towns outside of Tuscaloosa. Just google pictures of the tornados down here and you'll understand...there are a lot of desperate people out there.
