{Causes} Tornado Victims

Yesterday was a very tragic day for many people across the Midwest.  Here in the Twin Cities we had three tornadoes touch down, one that did significant damage in Minneapolis.

  Then just a few hours later Joplin, MO was hit very hard by another tornado.  The death toll is astonishing, and is expected to keep rising.  They have said that over half of the town is completely unrecognizable.  It is currently tied as the worst tornado (in terms of lives lost) in United States history.

I can not imagine how it must feel to be in the victims position, and I pray that they are able to pick up all the pieces as quickly as possible.  Here are some ways you all can help those affected.
