SEND YOUR STUFF TO ALABAMA

Despite what Twister would have you believe, tornadoes aren't just an excuse to have some adventures with your rag tag meteorological operation and throw some fancy silver balls into a storm. As the Southeast US can tell you, tornadoes fucking blow.

On Wednesday we told you about Chris Nieratko's friends who started A.Skate, a skateboarding clinic for autistic kids in Alabama. Later that day Alabama got rocked by the deadliest twisters in 40 years. The storms killed about 300 people and left god knows how many homeless. Now A.Skate is organizing a disaster relief effort and asking for donations. They need clothes, non-perishable food, shoes, and children's toys.

So if you have any of that stuff, why not send it to:

Askate - Disaster Relief
2328 2nd Ave. North
Birmingham, AL 35203

To lighten the mood, here's the trailer for Twister, which we're going to go watch now.
