Hi All,
Keep praying. So far much has happened that has been utterly unexpected. The danger still includes flooding for many areas, so prayers are desparately needed. Thank you all so much for all that you have already done.
Pray that those poor coulds in Punta Gorda and Port Charlotte receive nothing like what is predicted. The Lord can continue to diminish this storm. They are predicting strengthening over the course of the day, but let us insist on its gradual destruction. Let the Lord work His will, may He preserve His people from this storm.
Nothing so far in Orlando. One of the worst things is waiting for something to hapen. Those nearer the coast are having rain bands, so by noon we should start getting whatever will happen. I'm praying for tropical storm force (or less) winds.
People will be disgruntled at having been moved because of this, but let me say right now that the evacuation was absolutely right. Remember it threatened us as Category 4 with a possibility of strengthening to 5. The Lord in His Mercy has weakened it to this extent.
Now pray for the people of the severely damaged Bahamas, people far less able to recover and rebuild from such a terrible storm that has lingered so long over the islands.
At any rate, keep praying! And thank you so much for your prayers.
