***Video Footage From My Front Porch***
I just wanted to let everyone know we’re all okay. A tornado attempted to form over our home; it
roped out, and returned, touching ground east of us.
The state of Oklahoma has had numerous tornadoes
this evening, one of the worst touched down south of us hitting several homes, farms,
and businesses.
Our son’s friend’s ranch,
the one he works at part time, had their barn destroyed, and a tractor trailer
flipped over, along with other farm equipment/machinery. The animals are all running loose, they’ll
need to found, returned, and checked out to make sure they’re not
hurt/injured.
Sending out prayers to all friends and families in
Oklahoma and other states affected by these severe storms today.
Glad you all ok. Tracking down and getting animals back where they belong isn't fun, helped my neighbor numerous times with his cows and horses. Prayers sent
ReplyDeleteSenior,
DeleteThank you for your prayers! It's hard work to track down animals.
I was watching this all on weather channel and came here to check on you guys. Stay safe, be ready to bug out (safely!). Hugs, 1st and 2nd
ReplyDelete1st Man,
DeleteWe did bug out safely, and will remain weather aware.
Hugs,
Sandy
I think I saw one of those cows come flying past us this morning. It had some good lift going on :)
ReplyDeletePP,
DeleteYou're so bad!!!!
Dear friend, I think several cows were flying against their will :PP
PP,
DeleteYou're so bad!!!
Actually, several cows were flying :P
I was wondering about you with that storm passing over. Glad to hear your good!
ReplyDeleteMike,
DeleteWe are all okay, staying weather aware, and bugging out to save locations.
What they all said. Stay safe, and may God keep you in His arms throughout the night.
ReplyDeleteRev. Paul,
DeleteThank you Rev. Paul.
We will remain safe, maybe we should relocate to Alaska??
So scary. Glad you're safe.
ReplyDeleteSue,
DeleteVery much so!!!
Thank you :-)
Sweet Sandy - i don't know how you can handle all of these hurricanes. the first sign of a bit of wind and i would be running to the hills. bugging out would be a full-time job! but i am so glad that you guys are prepared and know when it's time to hit the road. i am sorry for your son's friend's family farm - that is awful to not just lose and have damaged equipment, but to have to go out and track down the animals - that sucks.
ReplyDeleteyou and yours are always in our thoughts and prayers! sending much! your friend,
kymber
Sweet Kymber,
DeleteWe've survived tornadoes, hurricanes, fires, and earthquakes. Being aware of your surroundings, weather, and prepared is the secret to survival.
Sending hugs and love to you both.
Sandy
I think the reason I get a queasy stomach every time we have high winds up here in northern MN is because of the tornadoes we had while I was growing up back in Illinois. Our were never as frequent as the ones in your area, but I know the damage they can do.
ReplyDeleteSo very glad to hear this latest one missed you and your home . . . as I'm sure you are, too. Hoping the damage in your area was all structural that can be replaced.
Mama Pea,
DeleteStress dealing with a storm or an event will cause your stomach to feel queasy. My stomach has been bad for a while dealing with this weather and the stress of everything. No damage at our home thank God. Sending prayers to all affected in these storms.
Thank you dear friend for your warm thoughts.
Hugs,
Sandy
I am so glad you are okay. I would not be as brave, faced with that overhead. I will be keeping you all in my thoughts until this weather settles down.
ReplyDeleteSusan,
DeleteThank you sweetie! We appreciate your thoughts and prayers. We will remain weather aware, and safe through tornado season.
Hugs,
Sandy
So glad it passed you by. May the damage be less...
ReplyDeleteGail,
DeleteThanks! I concur! :-)
So happy to hear you guys are safe.
ReplyDeleteDFW,
DeleteThank you! We will remain weather aware and safe.
I've been watching the Weather Channel about the tornadoes out there, and am glad that you were not hit . Looks like Oklahoma as a whole has really been beaten up. Georgia has been lucky, so far.
ReplyDeleteHarry,
DeleteI'm glad as well, and will keep everyone affected by the tornadoes in my prayer. Oklahoma was beaten up pretty bad that night. I'm glad to hear Georgia has been lucky.
Oh Sandy, that's too close for comfort. So glad you're okay.
ReplyDeleteLeigh,
DeleteYou're so right.....too close for comfort.
I would rather be living in another state and not dealing with these tornadoes.
Hugs,
Sandy
