  1. Why everyone is just saying god god god… Its 21th century ppl. Its weather! Physics. Not some imaginary god. Speaking some random words into the ether wont change the weather… Lets just hope people are prepared.

  2. Almighty God, our refuge and strength, we come to You in this time of storm, seeking Your divine protection and calm. Please shield our homes, our loved ones, and our communities from harm. Calm the fury of the wind and water, and grant strength and wisdom to those who are preparing for and responding to this disaster.
    We pray for those in the direct path of this storm, that they may be kept safe until help arrives. Surround those who are anxious with Your peace, and provide comfort and hope to all who are affected. Guide first responders and all who are helping, and let Your presence be felt amidst the calamity.
    We trust in You, Lord, that You are our fortress and that we are sheltered under Your wings. Help us to see Your hand in the stillness and peace that will follow. In Your holy name, we pray, Amen".

  3. Horrible storm, but if these winds were 185 mph like the media said/says, nothing would be standing. Especially people. Maybe 80 to 100 mph sure. But the media love to embellish on things WAY to much to get people to tune in.
