You may recall me mentioning a tornado last year in Wadena.
"The town's been flattened. I'm on my way there for a high school reunion. It looks more like it's going to be a high school clean-up."
If you are in the region, I just wanted you to know about a fund raiser to help get the people of Wadena back on their feet.
Months after a devastating tornado struck Wadena, a benefit will be held this weekend to help the still-recovering Minnesota town.
The Wadena Relief Benefit will be held Sunday from 4 to 7 p.m. at the Medina Entertainment Center in Medina.

I was in Boston this weekend visiting my sister, so didn't have a chance to reprise my Irene prep post or any of the other approximately two billion (ok, maybe a slight exaggeration) posts I've made over the years about how to prepare for a natural disaster, but I'm still getting emails from people…
Good cause. I will note that the people of Wadena county voted solidly for "smaller government" and "we got us too many of teh tackess" party, kicking Oberstar and heavily favoring Emmer for governor. Thus, they should work harder and stop asking others to do their work for them. They should reap what they sow, since the tornado didn't affect me, it's not my problem. They could always pray a little harder, that's supposed to help somehow or other.
We might add that it is distinctly possible that god attacked Wadena for a reason. We should check to see if they made a pact with the devil or something, I suppose
