Oklahoma Tornado


I have had requests from many here in Trussville who want to know how to help the people in Oklahoma. Their needs are overwhelming and the word is they need financial donations through the Red Cross so they can purchase items for immediate needs rather than collecting goods and having them shipped.  

One way to help if you so choose is to donate online or by phone.

The contact information is:


Or you may call 1-800-redcross.

It is my understanding from the news last night that the tornado grew from an F-1 to an F-4 in twenty minutes at school dismissal time. There was not enough warning to send the children home early, so they sheltered in place. I believe they did the best they could under unpredictable circumstances.  My heart goes out to the administration, faculty, parents, children and the community for having to endure such a catastrophic event.
      
Please feel free to forward or share this information with anyone who asks.
