Our La Chaumière de Briarwood here in Edmond, Oklahoma, survived yesterday's storms. The tornado that tore through our State missed hitting our house/neighborhood by about three or four blocks. Our electricity was knocked out for a while, but strangely the moment the tornado passed over us the sky directly over our home was eerily calm and blue. Those only a half a mile away were not so fortunate.
This tornado, an F3 or maybe even an F4, has destroyed so much. My heart goes out to those people who have lost everything...and those who've lost only a little.
Today we are gearing up for round two.
Hunkering down for the day.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR COMMENTS, THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!
Love to you...

I'm so glad you posted, Rebecca. I thought of you this morning when I was reading the news online this morning. Glad to hear you are okay. I've never had to deal with tornado warnings before, so it is scary when I hear about them here in Ohio.
Praying that you are safe xxx
I see your going to have more tornadoes. Not good.
I like your picture you posted.
Oh Rebecca. I don't know how it would be to live in an area with tornados. How awful! Please keep safe! We will be praying for you. I have changed the URL of my blog to www.antiquesandteacups.info. Hope to see you are fine and back up soon.

Thank God that it missed you. Too close for comfort I would say. I imagine you could hear it though. I feel bad for the people who were affected. I can't imagine going through that! Stay safe. I will be in prayer for you.
Oh, I`m thinking of what you have to deal with, Rebecca. Tornados must be the most scary wather that is. I`m just so happy that we don`have it here in Norway.
Take care
hugs
I am happy you and your home weren't hit by the storm! SO sorry for those whose lives were torn apart:( HUGS and prayers coming your way my friend!
So glad that you are ok.
Praying for those in your area that aren't.
God Bless!
So glad you are alright. Sending angels your way.
Having surviving twelve hours of Hurricane Ivan in 2004, I know all too well the fear associated with natural disasters. Walking outside the next morning the skies were the prettiest blue, the wind was blowing....then you realize your whole neighborhood looks like a bombed had hit it. My heart goes out to your neighbors. Prayers to you and your family, keep safe.

Rebecca I am so glad you survived the storms. I hope you and your neighborhood did not endure too much damage!
My prayers are with you as well sweet friend, and for all of those in the path of it... thinking of you all, xoxo Julie Marie
I hope you have a safe place to stay in a storm, as I think you have cement floors? (as in your kitchen). We seem to live in Colorado's tornado alley, but our storms don't often get so large. Cold and windy here on my first real day of summer vacation.♥♫
I can only continue to send up prayers for you, your family and your community. I do pray you all remain safe. Hugs. Tammy
Be safe Dear friend!

I've asked for prayers for you and yours in Edmonton, and of course in Moore, on my Facebook page. May the Lord bless you and keep you in his care! Judy from Arizona
I'm so sorry, Rebecca, but glad you are safe. I'm up at the lake where I rarely watch TV or am on the internet so I just heard of the damage. Stay safe tonight.
XO,
Jane
Hi Rebecca,
I was on my way into work this morning at 6:30 when I heard on the radio about a tornado touching down in Oklahoma City. I thought of you immediately and had to check your blog as soon as I got home and in the door. I am so glad that you are safe. I will send up a prayer to keep you safe for tonight and always and for your neighbours as well. Take care my southern friend. Hugs, Laura
thank goodness you are ok Rebecca! I was so worried about you. I am just seeing the devastation on the news. How horrible, and so close to you!! Prayers are coming for you sweetie, and for everyone! Please post, and let us know you are ok.
Love to you,
Debbie xxoo
Again, I am SO thankful you are okay. I'm reading backwards through the posts, and I am praising God for the safely of my sweet, beautiful friend and her family.
Love you,
Sheila
Oh! Toooo close! So glad you are ok.

Thank you for your post. So glad to know you're safe. I've yet to hear from one other friend there, but with electric out etc sometimes it's not the 1st thing that comes to mind.
Best wishes.
