Saturday was business as usual in Sulphur, Oklahoma. The town folk & business owners getting excited for the tour season starting up.
The line at the Donut Palace drive thru was stacked several cars deep. Locals & tourists getting those famous bear claws...
The Rusty Nail Winery serving up award winning wine, & free tastings to everyone staying at The Artesian Hotel . Best bistro in town too.
Delizi's had the whole downtown wafting sauteed garlic & fresh bread...
Flower Bluff Manor was gearing up for a first class dinner shift for the tourists. They were always so excited to wait for their reservations while drinking wine at the winery beforehand...
The Gettin' Place busy selling trinkets & the best local honey around...
The Wandering Pig selling their goodies, & enjoying the day...
The Mix Mercantile mixing up those delicious confections for us to splurge on. Gift wrapping your perfect gifts...
The Table serving up lunch with a smile, & that salad trio!
Sooner Foods representing the best customer service in Murray County. We love their Sulphur employees so much...
I could go on & on about our beautiful city.
Saturday night we experienced devastation. Our historical downtown was destroyed. A tornado swept all over us.
Our Lodge is located here, & took a devastating hit. Not demolished completely, but extreme.
We were rescued by firefighters after we posted a plea on Facebook. Thank you for calling for us. It worked.
Three of our dogs were rescued by a hero that trudged through debris and power lines to get to them.
We are thankfully all safe in a motel & the Red Cross Shelter area.
We will rebuild, & thank you so much for all the volunteers helping our community.
We met with our governor, our representative from the Senate, and several more. It was nice to feel safe. He told us FEMA is involved. We were relieved.
We are grateful to so many. Continue to pray for families that lost loved ones & pets, businesses that are a complete loss, & will be hard to rebuild.
Some, like us, are severely damaged, but will rebuild. Volunteers are already coming forward. We are the blessed ones.
Thank you all, & God bless the ones donating, serving, rescuing, more...
