How to Help: Tornadoes in the Midwest
Over the past two days, tornadoes have ripped through the midwest, causing damage to various cities. Kansas, Wisconsin, Minnesota and most of all, Missouri have suffered a great deal of damage. There has been one fatality in a small eastern town of Kansas and twenty homes ruined. Wisconsin suffered significant damage and no injuries. Minneapolis has reported one death and 29 injuries so far with damage to the Northside of the city. The city that needs the most help right now is Joplin, Missouri.
