Guest guest Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 Praise God! We've been praying hard for you up here in Canada. Once my son & wife were on a vacation in Mazatlan, Mexico and there was a doozy storm heading right to them. My daughter-in-law and I were on the phone and she was describing the way the sky looked from their hotel window. She was 5 months pregnant with and getting fairly nervous. We all started praying immediately. While we were still praying on the phone, she said, oh, my...it looks like a huge finger is coming down from above the system and splitting the cloud formation in half! Lo and behold, the storm shifted and went in the opposite direction. Well, we'll just say prayers are answered in strange ways! lol Love & Laughter, Sunny xo > > > > thanks Patty > > > > I know - it is extremely nerve wracking - what is worse is is for years we > > have had a number of very close calls but not any bad direct hits - knock on > > wood, which makes me think this is scary as it seems more and more against the > > odds that we ill keep getting passed over.... > > a few years back we got nipped pretty good w, 2 back 2 back.... they were > > not above cat 2's I don't think but we did have some damage to our roof, etc... > > nothing like others have had and I am so grateful....
