We are thankful for having made it through Hurricane Helene unscathed, but friends, just a couple of miles away have lost everything due to storm surge. I can’t take time right now to go into detail but please keep people on the Gulf Coast in your prayers. Those who experienced that tidal flooding are told that there may not be power restored for a couple of days. I hope that will be sooner as all the food will spoil, if it hasn’t already. Also, living without AC, at the end of September in this part of Florida means dealing with 91-degree temps with rain again in the forecast tomorrow and Sunday. Please keep all of us, but especially the exhausted first-responders in your thoughts and prayers. If your church is doing a collection or you can donate blood, anything you can do will be a blessing. I have to go to check on some folks, but will update tomorrow, maybe with a few photos.

Praying for you all! I also have family in Florida but thus far they are fine! Wonderful Jesus
Been in my prayers since we saw Helene headed your way, especially you and other friends in Tampa and Orlando!
❤️&🙏, c.a.
Thanks C. A. – Orlando actually missed this entirely. The storm went by 100 miles off the Gulf Coast on our side. The big issue was heavy sudden tidal surge. 7 people have died, tens of thousands are without power and those on the barrier islands have lost their homes. Salt water and underground electric is not a happy combo, dittos for cars electrical systems. If you are donating money, stick to charities you know or your own church. Thanks for all the prayers.
Praying!
