My brother's house had the roof ripped off N. of Blanchard. He has no trees left and he had some really big ones that provided lots of shade. Also his metal building one end was crushed but his pickup was undamaged They will be staying with us for a while.

Sorry about your brother, but glad they are alive.

Leota, glad you are safe. My sister in Edmond and cousins in El Reno and Guthrie are also safe.

I am so sorry for your brother's problems. Why this happens is a question I can not answer. Blessing to him and his family.

Hubby had the live feed on and it looked awful scary. I hope you all are safe and sound from these storms in OK and heading East. Prayers for all.

I heard about the storm on tonight's news. I sincerely hope that everyone is okay. Sending prayers for the people involved.

With power lines down and trees across the road, they had to walk a mile from the highway to get to the house. Roads are closed, so rather than leave their valuables, they decided to stay there last night to keep looters away. No electricity so all they had were flashlights. My church is open as a shelter and feeding people so will probably volunteer there today.
