On a serious note:

Some of you know I’m a Broadcast Meteorology student at Mississippi State. The tornado outbreak we witnessed over the past couple of days impacted thousands of people, who — today — are still without power, food, and/or water in many harder hit areas across the Southeast.

Those of us in Starkville were fortunate to have been missed by tornadoes, but neighboring communities were not spared. We saw pieces of houses — including doors and parts of couches — falling from the sky onto and around campus from the EF-4 tornado that ripped through Louisville, MS, 25 miles away. Below is the door. The photo was taken by my professor.

There is a way to help those in need:
