Dear Divine Godly Family,

This is to inform you all that on the evening of April 28th, 2024, a devastating tornado outbreak swept through Oklahoma, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. 

Initial assessments by the National Weather Service confirmed the tornado as an EF3, but further investigation is underway to ascertain if the rating may need to be adjusted upward. The city of Sulphur bore the brunt of the storm's fury. In nearby Marietta, the tornado, initially classified as an EF3, was later upgraded to an EF4, emphasizing the intensity of the system. Communities such as Sulphur and Holdenville suffered particularly severe impacts, with buildings reduced to rubble and infrastructure severely compromised.

The tornado outbreak claimed the lives of five individuals, including a young infant. More than 100 people were injured. The affected towns of Sulphur and Holdenville accounted for three of these fatalities, while additional deaths were reported on I-35 and in a city in neighboring Iowa state. 

As damage surveys continue and recovery efforts get underway, the affected communities are in the process of receiving support and assistance to rebuild and heal. A State of Emergency has been declared.

The tornadoes occurred approximately 85 miles (2 hours) away from Baba's center and other BK’s who reside here. Both Baba's children and the center remain safe and unaffected. We are sending Baba’s light and support to all those affected by the devastation.

In Baba’s Loving remembrance
