OKC homeowner belief, family helps her to overcome the house at the fires on Friday

Morgan Mayhue stared through the window frame of life she had. The only things that stood were some skeletons of the walls of their house in Northwest Oklahoma.

“It's devastating, you know,” said Mayhue. “What a day.”

Mayhue was not at home during the fire because she supported another family in a funeral.

“I am a former teacher of Millwood Public Schools and we had a student passport and I was on duty,” said Mayhue.

Moments later, Mayhue received the call that her home was gone. There are only memories left.

“Set a lot that we love in this house,” said Mayhue. “Every Friday evening we sat down and had a film evening on the couch – children who read about thirty minutes on the couch every evening. We had a lot of great memories. ”

The village of Northwest OKC in her house raised her two children and four foster children.

“My house is always loud,” Mayhue said with a smile. “It's my life, it is my norm, it's my crazy.”

On Friday, firefighters fought with flames in Oklahoma and the U -Bahn, when heavy winds were torn throughout the state. Fires destroyed two houses near Northwest 122nd Street and the Pennslyvania Avenue, including Mayhues Haus.

Mayhues neighbor Vanessa Hurte observed how firefighters collapsed with unfair windy conditions. Emergency crews dissolved a high -pressure situation to prevent the fate of Mayhues from spreading.

“It was super frightening with the wind,” said Hurte. “The answer was just incredible.”

Neighbor Lee Windham said this community was there for her.

“We will stand behind these people and raise a hand or a room or whatever it needs.”

Mayhues took the fire away, but it didn't touch her village.

“I have great neighbors,” said Mayhue. “I'm doing well. I trust God. I have a village. I have a family. ”

She found humor in the poetic moments of her life.

“Allstate says I'm in good hands, we are there,” Mayhue said with a smile.

Mayhue said she would not think about the pictures of her destroyed home. She will concentrate on the memories that she will continue to capture.

“I am grateful that we are all alive and that we can do it again,” said Mayhue. “Take it one day after the other.”

The von Mayhues family has set up a Gofundme page to help temporary apartments, clothing and other essential objects.
