I got my ass handed to me when I tried to get the word out about this a few days back; but it is ongoing.
Yes, the primaries are important, but they won’t happen till next year. Take a little time to recall that REAL PEOPLE LIVE IN NEBRASKA, and NOT ALL OF THEM ARE WHITE OR RABID MAGAISTS. See if you can do something to help people who need it RIGHT NOW.
Yes, the terrorist attack in New Zealand is horrific; but the Kiwis seem to have it in hand. We have people here at home who need help.
Yes, I’m going to donate myself, but my budget doesn’t allow till next week.

People are losing everything but the clothes they’re standing up in. Some of them are dead, and it’s going to be a while before there’s an accurate count of how many.
Whole towns are being wiped out from flooding due to storm-damaged dams breaking and snow melting from sudden warming and plenty of rain. Roads and bridges have been washed away. An Air Force base in Nebraska has been flooded out.
So far, the only thing that seems to be improving is the weather.

There’s a number for people to call who need help dealing with their livestock: (402) 340-3992. It seems some rodeo cowboys have volunteered to do what they can.
I have a feeling Shelterbox USA might be as useful to the survivors as the Red Cross.
Here’s a link to fax your Congresscritters for free. And another for your Senators.
FEMA can only be authorized by the president. I hope he takes his head out of his ass long enough to do so.
Here’s a story from KGW8. It includes pictures and links for places to donate.
UPDATE:
Here are a couple comments that have useful information:
Fezzik78 is one of our Nebraskans.
