I am too tired to type very much.
Our farm house, the one I raised my children in....the one my daughter , her husband and baby currently lived in....is destroyed. All of the barns and outbuildings etc lost. We may be able to salvage some of their belongings. Maybe alot of them. There were thousands of trees down. I had extreme difficulty navigating my own property that I have owned since 1994. I have never witnessed such devastation.
One cat is dead and the other is missing. Both of the dogs are ok other than being traumatised. We brought them here.
Our daughter and family have moved in with us.
It looks like a totally different place.. The tree line is gone. Hundred year old trees are splintered, twisted and uprooted. Debris is everywhere. We couldnt even walk down our driveway the trees and debris was so thick.
Churches, fire department ....all gone.
We still don't know about some things there because we can't get to them.
We are reeling but we are very grateful and praising God tonight for keeping our family safe. There is no way they would have survived had they chosen to stay there.
Praise You my Father, The creator of the universe, The God of Israel and of Cammy
Oh, I am so sorry, Cammy!

oh Cammy! I just heard about your family's devastation! I am SO VERY SORRY! I can tell you as someone who lost everything (materialistic) in a housefire once that I just felt all kinds of emotions throughout the whole ordeal, but it got better with time. Things can be replaced, lives cannot. It is just so hard when it is your home, where all your memories are, your comfort area, your safezone...but God is your true comfort zone, your true safe zone...UNDER HIS WINGS is where He will gather your family during this disaster and HE will take care of you and you will see blessings from this disaster. I do not say this flippantly, I say it from the heart as one who wholeheartedly believes it, has seen it come to fruition and looks forward to seeing how HE WILL BLESS Your FAMILY...it will take time and hard work. I will be in prayer for you and your family and I am always here for you if you need me...I feel so strongly that we should lift our Christian brothers up and encourage them during times of trouble. I truly mean that I am here for you whenever you need to talk or vent...shout, get mad, Praise God...whatever emotion you want to portray...(((HUGS))) and much love!
