hurricane is threatening Cuba and South Florida. Last
year my sister lost her home to flooding and it took
several months for her and her family to returned to
their home. Our area tends to overflow due to old sewage
which the county has done nothing about. Please, keep us
in your prayers. I keep you all in my heart and ask the
Lord to bless you. Peace, health. and His Love to all"

Answer:
Storm Debby turned out to be a dud, and officials
invited tourists back to the Florida Keys on Thursday.
The mandatory evacuations order issued Wednesday for all
visitors was lifted at 9 a.m., after Debby weakened and
began heading south of Cuba instead of taking aim at the
island chain. A state of emergency was also lifted.
Debby, which was downgraded to a tropical storm on
Wednesday, weakened further as it hit Cuba, its rain
bands soaking the islands in its wake. By midday
Thursday, it had dissipated into a tropical wave with no
definable centre. Forecasters said there would be no
more advisories unless the remnants move over the Gulf
of Mexico and regenerate. Praise our Lord!
This has definitely been an answer to my prayer.
Everybody was expecting the hurricane to increase its
force after hitting the ocean. The stores were full and
everybody was preparing for Thursday even at work. It
look a real hit. The Lord was merciful, thanks to all
your prayers. I pray for all of you.
Blessings
