Last night was not a good night for Wewoka. There a total of 3 fires last night. One was the home of a man who went a couple of blocks away to the store. He sees a firetruck go by. He gets home to find his home in flames. A total loss.
There was another fire north of town. And another home gone...
The in town there was a fire in a cafe called CJ's. It is still burning now. A total loss. The business next door, Sniders printing and signs is also a total loss from water and smoke damage.

This small town did not need this. And there are people homeless and with out jobs too.

Worst of all the fire downtown that took two businesses appears to be arson...

I will try and post some pictures later.

I am planning on being in the area of Earlam ( Des Moines) for a couple of days starting around June 10th. Going to try and bring a plane or two with me. Would be great to hook up with some fellow r/c fliers while I am there and see if I can keep from breaking anything!

I am uploading a couple of pictures now from one of the twisters we had yesterday. This one hit the airport in Seminole.

As many of you have I am sure seen there is a sticky in the electric airplanes forum about the 2nd annual Dust Bowl Fly In.

It is a long thread and I know a lot of people may not feel like reading the whole thing.
A short version is that we hold a Model Airplane Fly in with all power sources welcome.
There is also going to be some full size aircraft there. GREAT BBQ! And several flying events.
We also will be selling fly in merchandise and raffling off prizes.
All profits are donated to the National Multipile Sclerosis Society to help find a cure for MS.

We are in desperate need of help. This need covers many areas. Prizes for the raffles, Cash to cover at least part of the expenses, Warm bodies to help man the event. And many many other areas.
The Fly In takes place September 10th,11th and 12th. With the main day being the 11th.
We also plan a short service to mark the time of the attacks of 9/11.

Please help in any way you feel you can!
