Prayer Request: Aunt and Uncle in Punta Gorda during Huricane Charley

Posted on 08/14/2004 11:22:02 AM PDT by Jerry_M

Requesting prayer for my Aunt and Uncle, Joyce and Fred Schork, who decided to remain in their mobile home in Punta Gorda during Hurricane Charley. They are both in their 80's.

My Dad spoke with them just before the Hurricane struck, and they thought at that time that the storm would pass to their north, and that they would be OK since their mobile home was rated to 110 MPH winds. As we know now, the storm struck Punta Gorda with winds in excess of 145 MPH.

They have not been heard from since. I have sent a Health & Welfare request through SATERN (Salvation Army Team Emergency Radio Network), but have not heard from them yet.

Please pray, and if anyone knows of them and their status, please post it here.

A mobile home in Punta Gorda was not the place to be yesterday. Sincerest prayers, friend. Let us know when you hear something.

O Merciful Lord, set Your angels about these two people. Keep both them safe, let their possessions be alright. Be El Roi, The God Who See, to them. Let them testify to Your protection. Thank You, Most High, for doing more than we could every ask or think.

O Immaculate Mary, please add you powerful intercessions for these two of your Son's followers. Please also intercede for all of the people effected by this storm, in whatever State they live. Thank you.

Amen

That's awful. Of course we will pray.

BTW, we are thankful here that the relatives in Volusia County came through relatively unscathed.

Of course. I saw a thread somewhere a few minutes ago that most were told to get out of their mobile homes to shelter right before it hit. Hopefully they are among the ones that left.

Heavenly Father, we return to give You thanks that so many were spared the devastation yesterday ... may it be, Merciful Father, that Jerry's beloved Aunt and Uncle are among those who are safe. Bring word quickly to those who wait, and may they be welcome words of relief. In the Name of Jesus, I pray, Amen ...
