Hurricane Floyd

"Dear friend,
My subscribers from Florida are concerned about the
hurricane threatening them. Prayers have been asked on their
behalf. Here is a letter from one of them:
"Dear Robert we are very scared even the computers are not
able to figure this one out. They said plainly it is the
most terrible hurricane ever. Five times bigger than Andrew
that devastated our area. Eric and I are alone and I do not
have storm shutters with all the other problems I could not
afford them. Please let the prayer chain know. Thank you
Raysa"
Please pray for protection for all the people living in
Florida. Thanks."
The answer was given on Thursday September 16, 1999.
"There was a request send out last Monday that we all pray
for the safety of the people in Florida from the threat of
Hurricane Floyd. I want to thank each of you for praying
about this, and your prayers have once again made a
difference. As you know Hurricane Floyd never hit Florida,
and by the time it hit the Carolinas, it had been downgraded
to a tropical storm. With God anything is possible!!!
"Thanks to the Lord! Thanks Rob. The hurricane is past us."

"Please let me share with you and with all our brothers and
sisters the miracle of hurricane Floyd. Last Sunday we were
preparing for a storm and of course we were very concerned
because it was getting to be a category 4.
The computers were giving different tracks. One of course
was South Florida were we live. Another was that it may go
north if a front that was in the middle of the country will
get here at the precise time and was strong enough to
deviate its course north. It was getting stronger and we
were told that we may wake up Monday a.m. to be on hurricane
watch zone.
Monday as we drove to work everybody had a worried look and
were driving fast even for Miami. At noon I was getting
calls from my niece Lissette. She was getting very worried.
The news were bad. The hurricane was so bad that the experts
were saying that they could not predict how it will impact
us because they never had dealt with a hurricane of such
intensity and that they could not even locate it precisely
in the computers. They were saying that although we should
not panic expect the worse. Five time bigger that Andrew and
stronger... no we could not escape it. The area will cover
the whole state so even if the eye of the hurricane was in
West Palm we will get it because of the huge radio around
it. It was getting stronger. Monday afternoon. Leave work
quick. It so strong that even if the front get here it will
hit us direct almost for sure. It is like stopping a train.
This is verbatim.
We go home and everybody is trying to board up and or put
the shutters. Evacuation began. If we do not prepare that
night, there is no hope. It will get here by am. Again even
if we do not get the worse it will be bad enough...for the
front to have an effect on it...well it will have to get at
exactly the right time and have exactly the right impact on
the storm...we will have to keep watching .. but folks
prepare for the worse. By am forecast...moving a tiny bit
north...but folks this storm have been doing that and then
keeps moving again west... pray. Wind of 115 miles will
begin by mid morning....by midmorning...everything is
quiet...it may get really bad this afternoon...but is moving
toward north...folks we are really worried about Palm Beach
we are now in Hurricane warning one....it is moving north
...but is going to hit Florida anyway... late Monday...kept
moving off shore...and is getting weaker ...the monster left
Florida with minimum impact...we never got any major winds
in Miami.
I knelt down and praise the Lord and His Precious Blood and
bless all our brothers and sisters who prayed for us. The
Lord is Mighty and the Lord is in control even when terrible
dangers external or internal threaten us. Praise Him . He
listens to our prayers and he cares. and where are two
praying in My Name I will be there. Even if it is in the
Internet. God bless you wherever you are.
Love Raysa, Lourdes and Hilda"
