Living Off the Grid: Tornado Report

We ARE OK!


I have very little time to post as there is no internet, no electricity and spotty cell (I am borrowing a wifi gizmo for a second)


As I said, we have no electricity and so I am having to practice what I preach on this blog about preparedness and learning to live in a different way. When we get internet up, I will be sharing pictures and information of what we have learned. All I can say is, “Thank goodness for canned bacon!!” 🙂


Somehow, on Sunday, May 19th, as we sat in the cellar and experienced being in a full-fledged, mile wide, 250 mph, EF4 tornado, our buildings (except for a little roof damage) sustained very little impact. Our trees were decimated, but that’s no big deal. However, the farms/homes directly behind us, to our south and even across the road sustained significant damage. In fact, for nearly two miles behind us, there are few homes left standing. When we left our shelter, we were certain that we would find the same thing on our property and are still shocked at how little damage was incurred. We realize that we have witnessed a miracle and just can’t get our minds around why us. Our praises go to God and His unending love and plans for us and we give honor only to Him.


Thank you for all of the prayers, thoughts and attempts at contact. Hopefully, we will be back up and running here pretty quickly. And please check out your local Salvation Army or other areas of donation to help the people here in Bethel Acres, Shawnee, Carney and Moore.



Thanks to all my readers!

Living Off the Grid: Tornado Report

  1. Diane Consalvo says:

    I am so glad to hear you are OK. I was watching all week on these tornados and was so worried about people and relatives in areas I know there. Thank God for all the survivors, but I am very sad about Moore.

    I will keep all of you in my prayers,

    Diane from Arizona (no tornados here, just lots of wind!!).

  2. Thank you, Diane. Yes, there are a lot of people hurting here. It is just very hard to comprehend how normal everything was on Sunday and then how abnormal things changed in two days.
