I just linked to this at Raw Story. All the best to the sweet South.
As a Memphian of 35 years who watched the storm pass by my office at FedEx last night, I will help, too:

Up at my place too.
Put a link to here up.

If you need anything else, just ask.

I posted an emergency shout out for help at my joint as soon as I became aware of your plea and pointed them this way.Gotta love Sitemeter.
I will see what else I can do to help in the AM.

mf -- please do something about the comment about Atrios -- it's not really fair.
spent 3 quite lovely days in nashville, friendliest people i ever did meet, and pretty country, too.
tomorrow (tho late, i have tons of errands in the am) i will post a red cross banner w/linkage to your local red cross on top of my sidebar.
dont' count on atrios...he's having a fundraiser, you know...
Add GoldnI of Silence Isn't Golden..

storm.html
Done, and donated, at the two sites where I blog.
the red cross, because of their colossally stupid security requirements, refused to send me to nola after katrina, despite the fact that i had undergone all the training already, because of a 10 year old marijuana posession conviction.
i am giving what i can to the branch you have indicated. i hope someone can be helped with my meager contribution. good luck and godspeed.
Linked and commented here. I'm glad you're OK and I hope that we generate enough assistance to show what bloggers are capable of.
I've got Morning Joe on, and they're saying NOTHING about the aftermath of these storms. Shameful.
Take care...
Got you covered there Boss. We in Georgia dodged the bullet on this one. Keep up the good work.
Home of the Brave salutes you.
I'll link at my Blog in Savannah (our county was hit hard, as well).
Got it posted. I'll be making a donation.
Just when I the the media can't become any shallower or more ridiculous, they prove me wrong...
Just when I think the media... and so on...
I got it up at my place this morning.
I'll send a check to the UW food bank. Thanks for doing this.
I am very thankful that you are okay, mf! I posted about it and linked heavily at my place and used it to conclude the "At the End of the Day" post at the group blog I contribute to. And I'm sending a check today.
Carpetbagger Report has it up, now...
Got it blogged at Virtual Pus, thanks to first reading about it at Shakesville in Petulant's post. I don't have the money to donate but I'll see what I can send, maybe blankets or clothing.
Oh, and nice to meet you! Greetings from Canuckistan!
Oops, looks like they only take money and not goods. Well, I'm sure we can scrape together something.
Hi! Sorry to say I've never read your site before, but I'm glad I'm here now and that you're alright. I'm a fellow Mid-Souther (Oxford, MS), and we were hit pretty hard too, but nowhere near as bad as Shelby County. That news about Hickory Ridge Mall hit especially close to home for me. 
I too could not BELIEVE the people that were calling in to complain that American Idol was pre-empted, to the point that the weather anchor had to publicly chastise them on the air. I mean, wtf, really!
I've put a link up on my blog. I've got family in TN, GA, LA, NC and FL, so thank you so much for all that you are doing.
yea im from memphis, and my folks still there, mome said it hopped on down i 40
Just found you via Left in Alabama. No time to write a long post, but I just put up some links. I am glad to see so many folks helping out with this. I'll think about this and see what else I can do this evening.
And meanwhile, the Big Blue Smurf is begging for people to giv HIM some turkee.
Posted your earlier article, the one with the links, here:

Hey, MF, I put up my post. Wish I could do more.
Deep respect and gratitude to you for already doing so much to help.
Outta the Cornfield has made a donation your local United Way and put your post of today at the top of the page where it will remain for awhile along with any updates. Tom
OK.
Here's a rough update on the status of the Blog Swarm for Mid-South Tornado Relief...
I'm shocked, awed, and overwhelmed tonight!
At least a HUNDRED blogs from every aspect of the political spectrum have taken part in this swarm of goodness. I want to take a moment to thank Chuck Adkins, a blogger at the Town Hall Blog Community and other places for picking up my plea, and spreading it far and wide through the Conservative 'sphere. He's right-- this isn't about politics, but I had to somewhere.
It will be days before I get everyone thanked properly. But, I'm starting right now, and every day, I will post another set of Thank Yous, until either my fingers fall off and my eyes go blind, or I get to the end of the list. Let's hope for the latter.
In the past 24-hours, we raised between $13,000 (minimum) to somewhere in the neighborhood of $92,000 for the Mid-South Chapter of the American Red Cross and the Mid-South Chapter of United Way.
I thank each and every one of you who participated in this immense act of Kindness-- Bloggers and Donors alike. We made an enormous difference between HOPE and Despair today.
Damn, I'm proud of you all. I've never been so impressed and touched like this in my life. If there is a Statistician in the house, I'd LOVE for you to put the calipers on my numbers.
You can see how I derived this large range-spread at my place:
Monkeyfister
I don't think that I am far off.
PLEASE pass this around, as there is no way in hell that I can reach everyone who has participated in this action in any sensible way.
All of my love, and two scoops of IOU to each and every one of you.
Your Friend, Fan and Admirer,
~Monkeyfister~
Thers--
Has Atrios YET posted a THING about the storms? ummmm. No.
He DID post "Blogging Is Hard Work," tho'. $6K work of weekly ads up at his place. Leader in the Left Blogosphere. No job. Full-time Blogger. ALWAYS watching or reading the news.
It was fair. But, I really like and respect you.
For that matter, FDL hasn't mentioned the storms either. They don't care.
They're making money for themselves.
Sorry to be harsh. But it is obvious.
--mf
Thers--
NOT FAIR???
Atrios: Blogging Is HARD WORK!
Reads and watches news at home ALL DAY.
Asks for money with +$6,000 of ad revenue sitting on his front page.
Not fair.
I don't take a dime from this blog. NOT A DIME.
any "ads" on the sidebar are there by my own accord, because I think the products are superior, and the value is per non. There are no "kickbacks" or what do you call them-- "affilliate" deals here.
I don't WANT money. I GIVE money. LOTS of it. To YOU, to anyone who needs it.
Blogging Is HARD WORK!
Not fair. WEV.
--mf
Furthermore...
I can tell you, and ANYONE here with a BLOGGER account will attest to it, that it would take less time for Atrios to simply ACKNOWLEDGE the Mid-South Storm wreckage with a simple copy/Paste of ANY of the material here in my blog, or in nearly every single one of his OWN COMMENTS-- which I keep putting there, than for me to go into my template and "BLOGROLL AMNESTY" his ass out of my blogroll. He's only there because I've known him for twelve years from the early days of the Bartcop Forum.
Call it charity.
--mf
I posted a plea for help on my blog and linked back to yours. Thank you for asking for help.
Great job Monkeyfister at spreading the word. Friends in Arkansas helping there have posted these numbers for people in Arkansas wanting to lend a hand:
If you want to lend a hand in those areas, here are the command post numbers you need to call. This is very important. Please call these posts before heading up to these areas.
Atkins: 479-641-2289 (this post is located at the Fire Dept)
Clinton: 501-745-9995 (this post is located in the Wal Mart parking lot)
Mountain View: 870-213-5521 (located at the Sheriffs Dept)

I gotcha, Tony. The only "big" blogger I blogroll is Riverbend, and that's because I've considered her work to be vitally important to the discussion.
I have a small blogroll, but I'm probably one of the smallest bloggers out there, so it seems fitting.
I have your request up on The Command Post. Hopefully my couple of readers will help. Every little bit, I suppose.
Azul--
THANK YOU.
I'll post the information as soon as I get home tonight.
Damn my workplace for blocking Blogger.
