Hurricanes in Oklahoma...

Well, we didn't have an actual hurricane in Oklahoma...

But a tropical storm?

Here?





By "hurricane and tropical storm standards", it would be considered a small one.


Even so, the remnants of Tropical Storm Erin certainly did cause some problems for us this Sunday.








And sadly, there were those who did not survive the storm and its flood waters.


Our prayers are with those families as they mourn their loss.


Here at my house I was quite fortunate.

And I have to admit that I slept through the entire event and wasn't aware of what was going on.

At all.

I woke up to quite a surprise this morning.

The high wind had torn off one of my porch lights...

And twisted off a fairly good sized tree limb and countless other smaller limbs and leaves.




And the rain flooded my yard.





But only it was only a few inches deep.

I had other plans for my Sunday, but I ended up picking up the yard instead.



Once again I find myself counting my blessings...

And have been protected from the severe forces of nature.


You guys have a great week.


later...
