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.

Father Lord we pray for all those who have been in the path of Charley, may they be found alive and uninjured, may the recover swiftly if they have been hurt, and may Your arms comfort the families who have lost Loved Ones. In the name of Jesus, amen.

Prayers for Joyce and Fred. Hopefully, it is just because of the loss of power that you haven't heard from them, but I will pray for their safety.

Prayers going up for yours and Jerry's relatives in PG.

Hopefully, they are ok, maybe just a little in shock. Phone lines will be down for weeks, and cellphones aren't working. Cellphone towers were exploding all over the place.

Lastly, most people probably forgot to take their personal phone directories with them, and can't remember the numbers.

Wishing the best for all FL FReepers, and all with relatives affected by the storm.
