The eyewall has maintaned itself quite nicely while over land the past 2 hours. There is undoubtedly a lot of damage inland from wind.
I have heard several reports of shelters falling apart.
1,200 people, including some from the Tampa area in the Arcadia shelter. The roof is coming off.
Guys, this storm is really doing some serious damage, and a lot of peoples lives are in jeopardy at this moment.
If you are the praying type ( and most of us are) I recommend we pray for the people in Florida who are in danger.
The Lord Is My Shepherd
23
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
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.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest [my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
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.
Amen
