Late last night and early this morning devastating tornadoes ripped through 8 southern states killing, at last count 48 people. Many of our community live in those states. This diary is so that they can check in and let us know if they are OK and if they need assistance.
Up Date: Donations to the American Redcross can be made here. You can earmark your donation for this disaster.

Welcome to the Liveblog Debate. A couple of rules:
#1

DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DIARY. RECOMMEND THE Mothership

#2 No pictures or You Tube links. It slows things down.
#3 Tip jar allowed. Tip the diarist, NOT the Diary.

This is going to be a little short because I have to go to work. I have seen a lot today about St. Rudy of 9/11 and his sex-capades with "Queen" Judith, But thus should sink Rudy' aspirations to become President. Rudy has ties to terrorist Khalid Sheik Mohamed and it is on tape and in the Village Voice and is now the #1 featured story on "Countdown".
Rudy's Ties to  a Terrorist

Hang in there with me folks this is my very first diary.
A Prayer for California:

Blessed Be. May the Goddess give strength both physical and psychological to all in California and else where who are affected by these fires. May She protect the people, the domestic and wild animals from the smoke and flames. May She provide relief with diminished winds, increased humidity and rain to quench the flames. Blessed Be.

OK. that said here goes.
And a very hearty thank you for the help from gchaucer2, Miss Blue, 4Freedom, and Lychee. And thank you to all the other Live Bloggers from whom I pimped, plagiarized and copied. ;-)
