Vendredi










Tornadoes Put FEMA on Spot as death toll rises to 57.

Federal Response Continues

Editor notes~These storms occurred nearly on the anniversary of the tornado that struck New Orleans last year? Given thar many of those in the devastated areas did not hesitate to come to our aid, it behooves us all to get on the horn and see what we can do to help in their hour of need, eh? Let'em know we care: Here's one place to start.
HEY! YA'KNOW WHER'YAT!
