My HEART goes out to you George and PRAYERS sent. The Bible tells us that God will not place more on us than we can carry, and there is a reason for everything.

Your offerings are greatly appreciated. My current home and my birth place home are both fine. My son's home is fine and all are well. I have not checked my warehouse yet for damage. I will post a couple of pictures as to the problem that I must face shortly. I own approx 1/4 mile of Deep Fork River in NE OKC and the river rose approx 20- 25 feet in Friday nights tornado. The previous week the river rose approx 15-18 feet. These 2 floods plus the flood of 2010 when the river crested at approx 30 feet has caused extensive damage to a triple beamed bridge causing the loss of 30'X 30' X 100 yards of embankment,riprap, concrete apron, and timber.
We just got our power back on today about noon, so this is the first time I have been able to log on since we lost power during the Friday nights storms.
The Good Lord was watching over us Friday night. We lost a few windows, about 80 ft of privacy fence, several trees, and damage to the patio. Guess the pressure or wind was so great that it sucked down the plywood ceiling of the patio, and pulled the posts away from the concrete. All the insulation in may back yard looks like it snowed. Almost every house in our addition has roof damage. We just had our roof replaced 3 weeks ago (because of the March 30 hail storm), and didn't lose any shingles.
We were very blessed to have as little damage as we had. I pray for all of those that have had to go thru this ordeal, to those that have had damage to their property, but mostly for those that have had their lives turned upside-down from injury or loss of life. Times like these make you realize what is most important in life.

I spent half the afternoon with the OKC fire dept divers looking for a guatamalan woman who drowned Friday night in the storm. The searched my 1/4 mile of river plus I gave them access to another 1/4 mile. Sadly, no luck in finding the body. Her daughter was found today hung up under water with her hair tangled in some brush. Her family also searched my property today.
This was heart wrenching.
