To all in Alabama, y'all have not been forgotten by many of us on the West Coast. You've been in mine and many others prayers the last few days.
Following Katrina, LSU had set up a place for funds to be sent to help with students and their families. Has the University of Alabama set something up like that? If so, please post that information(and if it has been posted, I apologize for not seeing it). I would like to contribute to a something like that and will work with alums here to raise money for such a cause.
Thanks for any info.

Damn, these poor folks have had it rough.

FULTONDALE, Alabama --- Tammie Marchese is all too familiar with losing everything.
Evacuating to Birmingham just before Hurricane Katrina, she returned to find her Chalmette, La., home had been swamped by oil-tainted floodwater. Two weeks after Katrina, her husband, Angelo, 48, died of a heart attack in their hotel room.
In the ensuing years, Marchese and her daughters Brandy, 13, and Angelique, 16, struggled to rebuild their lives. She worked at Walmart in Chalmette and got a job at the Gardendale Walmart. A co-worker set her up in a house he owned in Fultondale.
Then Wednesday, nature's fury found her again. She'd heard the warnings on the way home from work but was unsure of the storm's track until she looked out the window. She grabbed Brandy.
"We started running toward the basement. We felt the ceiling lift and glass shattered," she said, tears welling in her eyes.
They only made it as far as the hallway and went down on the floor.
"In that hallway, a lot of things were going through my mind," she said.
They survived, but, again, most of their possessions were ruined.

My cousin is going to UAH. He told me that he couldn't believe that they were out. Said the only thing UAH would close for was the return of Jesus but they would still make you write a paper about it.

that's about right, uah doesn't close for nothing.
When I was there UAH didn't even close during reported tornado sightings in the area. I remember a few times of going to the lowest floor in the building until the all clear was given and then it was back to class.

Charlie Sheen just tweeted that he is coming to Alabama tomorrow. He says he's bringing his "cadre" along to help out.

Chick! Do you have power at your house? Ours JUST came back on!!! 
Posted on 5/1/11 at 11:26 pm to crimson crazy
Just got it back today. Cable and internet, too but our landline is still down.
Glad to see you back. I know we had it easy compared to many others who have lost SO much but man, this week has sucked.
There is so much damage all around the state it is unreal.
