It's all President Bush's fault. Right, you liberal dunces?

The National Weather Service just issued a statement saying that you were hit by 6 tornadoes. That's 3 more than what was first reported yesterday.
I've read some of your local papers and have read of some horrifying experiences.
May G-d Bless You All.
If you need anything from the rest of us, just let us know, like through the Red Cross and Salvation Army. Right now we've been told that they are using stored hurricane supplies down by you.

Does anybody know if there are relief efforts set-up for the victims of this tornadoes damages? I would like to start something, maybe a food bank and clothing closet to help assist those who have lost everything. How can I find out what is needed? If anyone has any ideas, please email [e-mail].

I was at work when it all happened & I work 25 minutes away from home. My mom called me and she was frantic, the houses that were hit the worst is not even 5 minutes away from my house. I had to stay at a friends house because soon as I got close to home last night the officer told me go to a shelter or find someone to stay with. Luckily I am home now and I continue to pray for those that have nothing to go home to.

I was there during this. I was on Pruden Blvd and watched it go by 58 towards Godwin Blvd and the hospital. Luckily all we got missing power for about 3 hours but my heart goes out to those who lost a lot more,

My thoughts and prayers are with the families affected. How close was this to charlottesville?

Burbank, CA – May 1, 2008 – Rene’ Jones, founder and president of Total Logistics Solutions in Burbank, CA, a nationally recognized supply chain / logistics and commercial warehouse inventory management company.

His company will also provide “Free” 30 minute phone consultations to help with the daunting task of creating your inventory for your insurance company.

Garry Nurse, Sr. VP of Government Affairs with Total Logistics Solutions, Inc. will be visiting the affected areas, Wednesday May 7th, passing out the software to homeowners.

“We realized that the best way for those homeowners to get started on the right course after these tornadoes and in the rebuilding process, was to make our software and service available to them free of charge,” said Jones. This sophisticated, yet user friendly inventory software can prevent disaster victims from losing thousands of dollars on a substantial home or business insurance claims.

Jones knows quite well the pain of those suffering right now in California. In 2004, his home was destroyed by fire. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the blaze, however all of his families’ worldly belongings were destroyed, which left he and his wife in a state of confusion when they began trying to list everything they had lost in the fire. Jones’ long and tedious process with his insurance company inspired him to want to help others through the inventory process by taking his inventory knowledge from the warehouse and applying it to the living room.

CYA - Cover Your Assets is inventory software that allows a home or business owner to record either their homes contents or the fixed assets of their business. The software can be purchased at the company’s website www.itstime2cya.com .

This is definitely the most sophisticated and user-friendly home inventory product on the U.S. market. Recently named one of the top products in 2007 by Money Magazine, the CYA software is applicable for home and business owners which are preparing themselves for fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, theft, divorce, terrorism or in preparation for premature death for wills and trusts.

Or, in the case of Virginia residents that have already suffered the worse, the software can serve as a tool to help those individuals that have lost all remember what they had.“Our software has an intuitive database included that will jog a person’s memory and help them create the inventory they will need to provide to their insurance adjuster,” said Jones.“Or, they can give us a call and schedule a “FREE” 30 minute telephone consultation to explain the process so they maximize their insurance claim.”

Total Logistics Solutions will be working closely with large metropolitan cities, chambers of commerce and schools to help prepare citizens in case of disasters in their area.
