Writers Victoria Schwab, Amanda K. Morgan, and Myra McEntire have put together Do the Write Thing, a publishing auction where ALL the money goes to help those affected by the flood. Media coverage has been pretty scarce, so here's a clip to give you an idea of how extensive the damage is:
Thanks to all who help with this cause. =)
UPDATE: Enough items have been donated that the auction will last for at least ten days! And over $9000 has been raised. Way to go, writing community!

This is so sad. Thanks for spreading the awareness Suzette.
This video brings me to tears. So a tragic event - so nice for all these fabulous people to help!
This so tragic; so heartbreaking. The lack of news coverage is appalling.
Thank you so much for the shout-out. We have been astonished and humbled by the continuing support of our beloved writing community!!
If it hadn't been for the writing community, I never would have known about the flood. It never made it to the local news in Canada. But then again, we've had the same thing happen numerous times here, and no one in the States knew about it.
