Ice Storm 2007~Prayers Needed

We have been hit very hard by this ice storm. We've been without heat and power most all of the day, and I'm not sure how long the power will be on for now. There are over half a million people in Oklahoma without electricity, and I would bet most of them are without heat as well. We are so blessed to have this cast iron fireplace which has kept us a little warm.

This has been quite and eye opener as to how unprepared we are for something like this. Yes, we have enough of most things to get us through a couple of days, but there were so many things I wished we had and that we needed. I have taken several pictures of all the trees down all over our neighborhood. There is a tree all the way or at least partially down in every yard in our neighborhood.  They are reporting that it may take up to 10 days to get the power up all over. The storm is supposed to go on through at least the next several days.

In addition, my youngest is very sick. I'm not sure what's wrong with her. She's got a high fever, and is very lethargic, and won't eat very much, so also please keep her in your prayers.

Well, I'm going to get off of here. I want to get as much done as I can while the power is on. I'll update when I can.

Blessings, Sara

us too

As you know, we have the ice storm too. We had a really bad one in January and nobody was prepared for that it seemed, so when they called for ice this weekend, everybody started stocking up. I am not as prepared as I would like to be but we aren't too bad. I had just gotten a case of bottled water, lots of fresh fruit and veggies and had a big batch of bacon fried up. I should probably get some soups made up because they are easy to reheat on my little single burner propane thing (I don't know what it is called). We are far from being off grid and you can really tell when the power goes out. However, we are doing fine and right now it is back on. God is good and He will get us through. I said a prayer for your little one and will continue to as she comes to mind.
Blessings,
Rashel

I am in Ok too, but I am further down in the state and it is not too bad here. I hope your electric is back on by now and I prayed for your little one.
