I've read on Facebook this morning that our own Mod, Cherie, and her family have been devastated by the tornado in their area last evening. I have no word on personal injuries but understand their ranch took a direct hit with loss of homes at the very least.
Praying for peace and help for her and her family.
How terrible, having seen the devastation even a small one that came through our yard did, I can only imagine the damage a big one has done. Prayers that there was no loss or injury of people or animals. Please keep us updated if there is any news.
I have not heard of any injuries to humans on their property, just loss of houses, fences and possibly injuries to some of the horses. Debris all over the pastures, so this will be a long, tough clean up. The tornadoes down in that area were responsible for 2 deaths, but not in their county. There was a post that they have lost everything material, except the clothes on their backs. At this point, that's all I have.
Her friends and family members have posted, asking for prayers and friends posted that she and her husband were staying with them for now. I suspect the internet is the last thing they're thinking of right about now.
I think at this point, anyone who is fairly local and willing to help with clean up is what they need most.
There's no fund, and I don't know if there will be or if Cherie and her family would even consider accepting such a thing. Us Okies are pretty proud folks. I did ask if they were insured, and the structures are.
The sad news is, they have a few of their horses up at OSU and several others at other vets. I am thinking that this could be a real rough patch for them.
To know that people on the forum are praying and supporting them will mean a whole lot, and I've asked friends and family to let them know that they are being thought of, a lot.
Will keep Cherie and her family in my thoughts and Prayers.....
