| this horse got rescued |
Oklahoma had devastating wild fires over the weekend. At least 10 were going at one time. These are some pictures I found from local news websites to show how horrible the fires were. Farmers had to free their horses so they could run, they also lost thousands of dollars in hay, not to mention hundreds of homes have been destroyed. I personally don't watch alot of tv and very rarely watch the news, but we knew Thursday there was a fire somewhere, there was ashes falling from the sky in our yard. It wasn't until Saturday afternoon when the sky was so filled with smoke that it blocked the sun and the ashes were falling like snow that we finally watched the news and saw all the tragedy and started praying for rain. I would say most of Oklahoma was praying because that prayer got answered that night and early Sunday morning with a couple of good thunderstorms. I ask all my blog readers to put Oklahoma in their prayers for a little while, fires are still blazing and our weather is heating back up. There is alot of people without homes, our firefighters are exhausted, and we could use more rain to put out the remaining fires. Thank you so much and have a blessed week ☺
They had fires here a few months ago and it turned out someone started them. Not much way to stop a fire like that so they were lucky the rain came.
ReplyDeleteAt least two of the fires here were started on purpose. In one town they caught a looter who was going into homes that had been evacuated. It's sad that people can be so selfish and cruel. The rain we got was a blessing for sure!!!
DeleteSad to hear of people starting wild fires. It's like they have no respect for anything when they do things like that.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is well with you, and you do get some much needed rain and very soon too. Kinda scary when things like that happen and it's in your back yard.
Thank you, we are fine, the fires were in towns all around us, but not too close. It was scary the way the sky looked it looked like a tornado instead of fire, it definetly makes you think about how vulnerable we are to mother nature. I heard they caught the fire starters but aren't releasing any names, so there won't be an angry mob after them.
