From Sand Springs, Ok. Some of the families have been and are being now evacuated from their homes due to fires. Wind 45-60 miles cont. With gusts up to 100miles. Power outage, roofs missing, wide spread fire scattered all around. We have been told to put go bags at door and be on the ready. Fire by one of our MS and elders homes.

I had gone to a sister's house to ride out the damaging winds and fire. The whole congregation was texting and keeping everyone informed of latest fire outbreaks and road closures. A breaking news alert went up and my friend read from her phone 'strong winds and excessive dryness continues'. I responded to her announcement by saying it sounds just like my medical report from Friday'. I love our windowed  old ladies with group with warped sense of humor...we stick tight to one another and can laugh through anything.

If you don't laugh, you cry. Thinking of you all over there.

Prayers up for you, @LeslieDean - I hope you and all the friends there stay safe and sleep well tonight ❤️

We had 3 families loose their homes and possessions. An elderly couple in our hall whose daughter just lost her 16yr old son in a car wreck a few months ago has now lost her home. It's bad enough to loose your home but when the tragedy comes on the heels of another makes it feel like you will never recover. Thank you all for your prayers.
