Updated Death Toll

     The number of people killed in Wednesday's tornado outbreak has risen to 254, 249*  250** including increases in Tuscaloosa. Read the EMA news release here.
     I liked The President's comment Friday about not forgetting...even after the media have moved on...:

"We will not forget you. I am confident that all the resources of our country and your state will be brought to bear to help you," Obama said.

(*The EMA corrected the total downward by 5 this afternoon, **and it climed back up by one later in the afternoon.)
