I am just overwhelmed with all of the trauma suffered. We got it pretty hard in Chickasha, and the city removed a few barriers this afternoon after the water subsided enough. I didn't get out to look around it was so depressing.

We lost a cat (GrayBoy) who got trapped and couldn't get out from under the porch. We had him put to sleep this morning. He just didn't make it. The dogs and I never left the house but they were scared. We kept hearing loud things being tossed all around all night and got very little rest.


Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of those that suffered losses and damages.

It seems like something is happening every day around the nation. I don't know people can cope. I guess those of us, here in Oklahoma, have had to overcome a lot of tragedies.

My son, Jay, who drives a Semi, was down in Houston when it began and felt pretty fortunate that he got out.

I hope that those in Minco, Union City, El Reno and Tuttle are OK.

My brother who lives 13 miles E of Chickasha said water came up to the bottom of his door.

My heart aches for all of those N of us that have suffered so very much.

Blessings to the NEWS crews that have performed amazing jobs, as well as all of the support by the officers and fire departments.
