This morning, we were greeted with an incredible email from a person who was assisting with the tornado cleanup efforts in Oklahoma. During the month of May, the Camulet, OK area suffered a direct hit and many lost everything. While our hearts go out to all of those who have faced such devastating loss, this incredible story of how the Ritchies handled the massive tornado had to be shared.
”I have recently come from Calumet, OK , Where tornadoes wiped the family property completely out. I saw some of the most devastating images I have ever witnessed. Most importantly the family is well and untouched,Thank the good Lord. The farm was a complete loss, close to 100 head of sheep are missing or dead, and there house was leveled. Needless to say it was traumatic and devastating. Why am I telling you this, I am wanting to let you know that Clay had three barns, the barns have Ritchie waters with warmers, and in all thedestruction, the waters were the only things that made it. I think it is a true testament to your product. (even the lids remained ona few of the waters). I started taking pictures of the sights and I realized there were little yellow spots all over the farm. I just want you to know that your product is amazing and strong enough to with stand an EF5 tornado… manyother products did not and might be found in the next county or state. We all go through tough situations, but we have to find the humor in it somewhere, so thanks for making us smile when we looked out there across that farm and saw the might little yellow water that held tight for dear life. We have many on our own farm also and love them, hope seeing these pictures makes Ritchie smile the way we all did. Thank you for a great product you can stand behind, and be proud of.
Sincerely, Staci of Texas”
