I just heard about this and came in to say - don't know what to say...

So sad.

In the Castle, of course.
I have been watching the feeds coming off the weather channel. Tornadoes all over the place. Oklahoma governor reported 5 dead from tonight's storms so far. Mike Bettes and two camera crew were chasing a tornado and got caught by it. Picked up their SUV and tossed it 200 yards into a field. Luckily they came through it with minor injuries. Several outbuildings were damaged by a twister at St Louis airport. Tornado warnings in parts of Illinois. Rough night in several states.

I hope all of our AW folks and their families are safe. I am waiting for word from my brother and his wife. The storms went right over them from what I could tell on radar. I won't hear until tomorrow though. So a nervous night for me.

Could be. I talked with my neighbor and she said she talked to a son in law and daughter in OKC this morning--but she speaks only Spanish and was going a little fast for me. I think she said that they had power--s6

In God I dwell, especially in Eugene OR

Prayers sent to OFG and Ambrosia's family and everyone else in the tornado's path, especially the camera and news people and the first responders.

Blessings,

I know that last night they were saying that tens of thousands of customers were without power.

And OFG works in the insurance field (IIRC). So even if she wasn't directly affected, she's probably up to her ears in work.

But I still hope she checks in soon.

A dark, evil place.
I heard from OFG on facebook last night about 11:00 EST. She thought the worst of it was over. I sincerely hope she was right.

Hope all our Okie folks are OK, and hoping they'll all be able to check in soon.
