Please pray for the states devastated by these recent hurricanes and the hurricane to come. May all these people be blessed and find their way to happiness again.
Helene was devastating to a large part of the southeast U.S.A. It will take a long time for the towns and residences to be restored. I have been praying for God to send rescuers to those in need of being found and drawn out from danger. I pray for needed supplies, food, clothing, and necessities pour into these areas and be distributed without corrupt practices. I pray for families to be reunited and for communities to be helped to recover.
Hurricane Milton is expected to hit eastern Florida on Wednesday. I pray that it will degrade into a less severe storm by then. May God be merciful to those affected by Helene and protect those in Milton's pathway.
Correction, Hurricane Milton is proceeding from western Gulf of Mexico eastward to hit western Florida.
I remember Hurrican Katrina and the great Sunami in Indonesia near Malaysia in the first decade of this century. Such destruction and loss of lives was sobering. I pray that the southeast U.S.A. will be well prepared for the remainder of hurricane season. May God send relief workers in large numbers to this area to help in the evacuation of those who need help and in the aftermath of the hurricane.
Here in the Pacific Northwest, we have had very little natural disasters. I was in the "ash zone" of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens in 1980 camping north of Cle Elum when it blew out the side of the summit our way. We quickly broke camp and headed into Ellensburg where we stayed (13 of us) in one friend's one bedroom apartment for a few days. My husband and I lived in Yakima at the time and we could not get there from Ellensburg because of the wind blowing ash around on the highway through the ridges between the two cities so much that visibility was nearly 0. Finally, after 4 days we could get back home. Yakima was covered in about 4 inches of ash. Then there are the wildfires. They can be pretty bad some years.
But these are nothing like the tornadoes, hurricanes, heat waves, torrential rains and flooding of the southern and midwest states that happen yearly in repeated waves. Lord have mercy.
