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.

BOOK of PSALMS
Chapter 23


23:1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.

23:3 He restoreth my soul:
he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

23:5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

23:6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE IN FLORIDA

May God hold you and your family close to Him now and give you peace and strength. May He watch over your loved ones and get word to you that they are safe and sound, in Jesus' name.

Still no word. The hardest part is not knowing.

Hang in there. Shep Smith (Fox News Channel) is in Punta Gorda and filed a report a little earlier saying that he was told the search and rescue teams have finished going through all the mobile home parks and will hold a news / press conference tomorrow sometime. You may be able to learn something then.

Shep said, "it was hard to read some of what was in the local newspaper down there this morning", but didn't go into much detail. He used to work down there, so he knows a lot of people.

I tried to find the newspaper he might have been talking about, and this is the closest thing I could find. If you haven't seen it yet, you may be able to glean some details from it that you aren't getting from the bigger media outlets:

We'll keep praying. We dodged the bullet here NW of Orlando by only about 20 miles. Lots of trees down and wind damage, but still have electric and phone service which is more than thousands in Florida can say. No way am I gonna complain.

Good news. My Aunt was able to call my Dad. They are without power and other utilities, but came through the storm relatively unscathed. They had a tree come down and through a window, and other minor damage, but other than that they are OK.

sushiman, I hope you will receive similar word soon. We will continue to pray for your family, as well as all the otehrs who are impacted.

Thanks for your prayers.
