Hi girls, I am here in Oklahoma surrounded by heavily laden trees...big trees.

I have some huge old trees on the North, South and West of the property that are just feet from the house and I am concerned.

One smaller one fell on the front of the house earlier(don't know the damage yet)and one very large branch just fell on our truck. We just stood in the doorway and watched...

I need prayers to keep us and all Oklahoman's safe in our homes tonight.

It's 5:00 AM and not a breath of wind...Thank God.


It's kinda scary, all the cracking sounds as the glitter falls.

Andria

If I have covered up any posts, I'll have this one removed after the storm.
I'll keep you posted.

Please take care, Chick.....ice storms can be so serious and very dangerous. Please get somewhere safer if you fear your trees...sounds like they've already done some damage. Please keep us posted...you're in my prayers and thoughts this morning!

Wow Chick, I had no idea you were in such a heavy storm. Oh my gosh. Please take care! Yes, leave if you have to. Good grief! You and Mr. Chick go to a hotel or somewhere that's safe from falling branches. Please do come back in here and let us know how you both are. We will be waiting to hear and saying prayers for your safety.

Love to you both, JJ

Oh, Chick, I am so sorry to hear this. I have been in bad ice storms, too, and I have an idea of what you are going through. Just an idea though - I have been lucky enough not have had personal damage.

Take care of yourself - my heart and thoughts are with you.

Chickadee, I lived 2 years in Oklahoma and remember the ice storms well Our first one -- we had no idea how bad it got, and were driving home from visiting friends in Dallas. Too scary -- drove at 10mph and still skidded all over the place.

Prayers for your safety.

I have a sister who is faced with the same - I don't think it's melting, yet. She works in a children's hosp (of sorts) and they are having to move the children to a better building ( a bigger hospital). The generator has failed and the electricity and phones are down.

Chick: I pray for you and all in danger. Remember the Angel of the Lord surrounds those who fear them and defends them. It must be scary, but we are lifting you all in prayer, and God answers!

Hoping this all ends soon for you all.
