Knock on wood, I’ve never really had to deal with flooding or damage from tornadoes.
However, I keep in my thoughts the countless Americans who are still dealing with the wind damage and flooding that resulted from Hurricane Irene and the spring 2011 tornadoes. Lately, if you’ve seen me on any given weekend I am most likely wearing my “Willdabeast” shirt. The shirt memorializes the Joplin, Mo., teenager, Will Norton, who died in the May 22 tornado on his way home from his high school graduation. All proceeds from the T-shirt sales go to Joplin disaster relief.
