Good morning friends. The tornado (s) that touched down in Lincoln county Monday night did not damage Tyler's and Kallie's farm. However his Uncle and Aunt have an adjoining farm to Tyler and Kallie. They were hit hard. Their house, two Barnes, rent house and live stock was taken. Kallie told us they were in the basement as the tornado went over their house. It was not long until they got the call from Uncle Ronnie and Aunt Dorothy. Thankfully they took cover in their storm shelter. In Kallie's words, "Mom it looks like Joplin". They helped yesterday to get the surviving livestock to the sale because there isn't a place to keep them. (It blew the barb off the barbed wire). The insurances set up at a community centers for the damages to be turned in and to help the insured in any way. Kallie drove Dorothy to the claims area and later it was determined the house (a beautiful farmhouse) would be bull dozed. Later she rented a car and Uncle Ronnie cut his hand cleaning up and had to go to the emergency room for stitches. Kallie and Dorothy made a trip to the Tractor Supply for tarps to cover the house which now will not be needed.
Emotionally all are a mess but thankful for life.
Tyler's grandparents that live close are good no damage. Of course no electricity is a real inconvenice with freezers thawing and no air but in the grand scheme of things that is minor. I wanted to go be with them but with emergency personnel and crews we would be unable to get to them.
Today is my appointment with Dr. Mcgriff-Chatman. I pray for answers and hopefully improved health. God has this and he is in control. Please pray for Tyler and Kallie and for their family. When our children hurt we hurt. I am hurting. Much love to all. Please be with me and be in the moment.
