Episcopal Relief & Development helps southern storm victims

From ENS-

Episcopal Relief & Development said April 28 that it has been in contact with dioceses in the southern part of the United States and is working with local churches to respond in a number of locations after powerful spring storms battered the region.
The New York Times reported that more than 200 people died as at least 100 storms tore through the area during the night of April 27-28. A National Weather Service map showing known damage is here.

By the afternoon of April 28, the Times said, some 269 people had been killed by storms that have swept across the South during the past several days. The National Weather Service said the deaths were the most since a tornado outbreak killed 315 people in 1974.

This most recent wave of destructive weather comes after storms barreled through the Southeast over the weekend of April 16.
