Amen! I don't know if it was all the media panic and warnings the past week leading up to this night that have left me feeling so unsettled and worried or if it really was a premonition of a catastrophe that, so far, we managed to escape all those years on the boat and living in Florida since 68' (except for 9 years recently in NC). But I DO know that my prayers have been for the safety of others as well as ourselves. I know it's not over yet, but I have felt a peace about it since yesterday after my husband decided we should stay put in Tampa with our two cats. Whatever the Lord was going to permit, I knew He was there with me and our lives were - as they always are - in His hands.

A lot of pain and loss has been and will be experienced by thousands of people affected by this huge storm and I will continue to pray for healing, restoration, comfort and peace as we pick up the pieces together. I am grateful for the mercy God has shown us here and the many Freepers who have prayed for those of us faced with this frightful force of nature. We are a family, there's no doubt about it.

The Thing is; these “media” people don’t seem to realize that all that “Hype” KILLS any credibility they have in the next storm!
I went thru Ike on Galveston Island in 2008. It was a terrible storm but I had to be there for work.

We actually had these idiots telling us “Anyone who stays on the island is GOING TO DIE! We knew it was a LIE at the time, and it WAS a LIE!

These people will say ANYTHING for ratings!

Thank you for your prayer. I found it as very kind and meaningful.

Being American means you are kind when appropriate and always help your fellow man when they need it.

Houston was stellar!!! Absolutely Stellar!!!!!!! Not the least bit surprised. Thank You.

Much.
