Well, Tennessee made it on the national news because we were hit by a few number of tornados. Seven people died here, and, I think, in five other states, thirty-five died all together.

It's a tragedy when anyone is murdered - even if it's by nature.

That's why I think there should be a storm seller made for people who live in mobile homes and, a near by storm "shelter" for each community when weather like this strikes. I mean, if they're so worried about people losing their lives and protecting us then, they should have these things.

But, anyways.. After the storm strikes we get our Tennessee representative hillbillies that are literally climbing out of the wood-work to get their fifteen minutes on CBS. It's either the news or the storms that somehow find the most inbred illiterate like people they can find to represent this state.

One woman said that she's happy because her "peetures" (pictures) were undamaged. This, while her husband and son stand in the background. Who cares if they're safe?! Her "peetures" made it out alive!

One man thanked God. While a beloved school teacher and mother and her husband were murdered by the storm late the night before. But, for some reason, God thought that guy should live. Go figure.

So, if you live in America, and you watch the news, and you see and hear these people. Try to remember that not all of us are like that.

Of course it could be a very clever media set-up. You might see those same people on Cops the very next week.

Anyways, to those who might want to help, or donate some money to the red cross (online) or just want to read more on the story and the tragedies then, here you go: Red Cross, Org
