Oklahoma Fires




There are fires all in the surrounding area of where my husband and I live. One of our friends and her family had to pack up and be ready to evacuate. A few of their neighbors houses and barns were taken by flames but they were spared. However, there are more that 56ish buildings that were taken. A few fires have been contained (the ones just down the road from us), but three others in the surrounding areas are still being fought. The county just next to us is in an evacuation alert. Please pray for the families that have been hit and also those who still don't know if they have a home to go back to.

Earlier today my husband and I were driving around trying to provide water for the firefighters and victims. We ended up getting stuck in traffic and helping a few people who's cars overheated. We are trying to do anything we can. If you have any extra clothing, toys, furniture, appliances, etc. You can help.
