How many deaths, how many missing?

Our media has the attention span of a gnat, so the most recent horrific tragedy is forgotten all too easily.

The Tuscaloosa area was ravaged less than a month ago. I thought there were over 200 deaths in Alabama alone from that tornado event?

They're saying Joplin had the most deaths -- maybe because it was one tornado, versus a "tornado event"?

:shrug:

The number comparisons really don't matter. It's all horrific and beyond tragic. I mention it simply because our national media has a tabloid approach to everything, even natural disasters, and move along to the next disaster without following up on the previous ones.

So, I was wondering if there's one site that tracks these events and the aftermath, or must one simply Google to find local info?

Godspeed to all in harm's way, and suffering in the aftermath.

:cry:
