Red Cross Helps Tornado Victims

Red Cross officials say they are committed to staying in Enterprise, Ala., for the long haul to help with tornado recovery, reports the Associated Press.

In addition to providing food and shelter, the charity is offering mental-health assistance. Ginger Mayer, a mental-health counselor for the charity, says that the emotional stress often isn’t apparent for quite a while.

A fierce tornado ripped through the state Thursday, killing eight students in an Enterprise high school.
