Prayers for those in the path of the storm

[Guest guest]

I haven't been watching the news much but realised from the posts

here that there is a major storm hitting Florida. I lived through

Hurricane Hugo in Sumter SC in 1989 so my prayers go out to you. It

is really scary to be in the middle of the storm with nothing but

darkness around you wondering if you will make it through the night.

My Mom lived in Dalzell SC during that storm and I remember the tv

went out early but there was one radio station on and it said if you

are out there and want to let your relatives and friends know you

are okay call in - she did - I was able to know she was okay over

the radio...

I will be praying for you after the storm too when the clean-up

comes. We lived without electricity or running water for 4 weeks.

I can do without the electricity but a regular bathroom needs

running water. I would have gladly had an out house if I could have

found one. All our improvements that don't work without

electricity...lol

Anyway, my prayers are with all of you. Tawny I am praying for Jim

to come through this okay.

God bless,

Althea

Althea,

I remember Hugo well. 4 weeks without electric must have been tough. We

were very lucky that we were only out for a short time. They said it would

be several days, but my area wasn¹t hit hard so I got my power back. I feel

so bad for the victims. I am just glued to the television staring at the

pictures of what is going on just 30 miles away. I am so blessed that the

hurricane turned when it did, but sure wish it could have turned enough to

have spared the people here.

Things have changed a lot since Hugo, and assistance is much quicker. Fema

is here and efforts are being made to make sure basic necessities are

available.
