The Salvation Army has posted some more photos of the damage from the tornado in Hugo on its Flickr photostream.

As we look at these and other images, it's impossible not to wonder what we would do if those were our homes? When you have to rebuild your lives, where do you even start?

The Red Cross, meanwhile, has updated its Hugo-themed Web site, including an interesting "Coping with Disaster" article that might be worth reading now, while things are fine.

The city of Hugo is looking for volunteers for a cleanup day on Saturday. Volunteers are asked to meet at the Washington County Service Center located off Highway 61, north of town. Bring work gloves.

Update 2:14 p.m.
