Scary Morning
Because I am tired, I am cutting and pasting.
This happened about 200 yards from my house this morning. I was already in town, I canceled most of my morning appointments, and drove like a bat out of hell when my friend told me about it-she couldn't tell me if it hit my house, or not, just that it was at my intersection. I was so frightened that when I finally got to see my horses I burst into tears, and clutched at them all. Never knew giddy with relief until then. The dogs were freaked out, but calmed when I came, and the cats were still under the beds (this was about an hour after it happened). My neighbor said it sounded like a train derailment, it was so loud.
And I almost feel bad, because I was angry at the plane people because of what happened, and one of my neighbor's baby horses freaked out and ran into a fence and broke its neck, and their pump house is all frakked up. And I was still all antsy and adrenaline-y from this morning at 7:30 pm when I was driving home. And I was afraid my babies were dead this morning!-for 20 minutes I didn't know for sure.
But those men are in bad bad shape. The neighbor who's house it was told me they had 80% burns. 80%. I'm pretty sure that's not all that survivable. And if it is, it's gonna be a long, long time.
So, can you guys pray for them, please? It wasn't their fault this happened. It's funny how one second you're minding your own business, and the next everything has changed.
Sorry, kinda maudlin. Going to bed now. Thanks for listening.
