The DKE house is taking donations and volunteers...see UA_Greek_Relief on Twitter for more info.
My son read an earlier message on Facebook concerning UA Greek Relief and went out and gathered donations. We're spending the night in Prattville and will go into Tuscaloosa in the morning to deliver to the DKE house. We're hoping we can spend a couple of hours working before we have to drive home tomorrow afternoon.

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.

Also just found this and had to add it...from Alabama Power's Flicker:

That is a CONCRETE transmission pole.
