~Update For Those Asking~

Valdosta, Georgia
October 7, 2016 10:45am CST
The winds are crazy intense here now! Branches are falling from trees all over our yard and we had to dead bolt the front door because the wind kept opening it. The water is coming in our home already, under the front door. We have towels there to hopefully slow down the flooding a little. The lights are flickering on and off every 10 minutes or so. We know we will be losing power very soon. Please keep praying y'all! Just wanted to update for those wondering or worried. Oh and the storm hasn't even actually hit here yet. We're supposed to really get it at 2pm.

Oh my goodness, this sounds scary. Keep the doors closed, stay inside, find a safe place in the house where to stay.

I thought about you when I was at work earlier. Hopefully you'll not be hit too badly. I'm a sort of storm junkie as we don't really get very very bad weather here. Maybe you could do a video on your phone and put it on youtube? Had to edit as that was a very self serving comment I do hope you're all ok (obviously) but i'd like to have some experience of this hurricane

@LovingMyBabies I won't laugh as I don't either I was thinking about borrowing my brother in laws go pro and going for a drive through the middle of my city and posting the video as part of a discussion. Then I realised I needed to know how to post it to youtube to add the link to a discussion....I still don't know.

@quantum2020 Yeah in some places it's much worse than here. Right now it's just windy and raining here. And flooding a little inside. We still have power shockingly.

Praying for you all to be safe and for this monster to move on quickly and go back out into the ocean. The governor is worried about Jacksonville. I thought of you. Is the water from rain or storm surge?

@LovingMyBabies Don't let your kids outside until you find out if the wire is live or not. We are having wind.

Aww shucks! I am sorry I don't know any prayer from Bible so I am going to do my own prayer for protection and for tough times okay? ~~***~~ You are the Almighty Bestower of protection, the Defeater of distress, and King of joyous comfort. Sorrows depart, fear and doubt are dispelled, by singing praises of the Immaculate Lord God. ||1|| O Universal Lord, without You, there is no other place. Show Mercy unto me, O Transcendent Lord Master, that I may utter Your Name. ||Pause|| Serving the True Enlightener, I am attached to the Lord's Lotus Feet, by great good destiny, I have embraced love for Him. My heart lotus blossoms in Holy Company; I have renounced the folly of evil-minded intellect. ||2|| During the eight watches of the day, praise and sing in contemplation of the Virtuous Lord who is kind to the poor. Such a one of their own accord saves their own self, and redeems all the generations of their associates, and all of their bonds are broken. ||3|| Your Feet, O Lord Master support me through and through, O God. Your Sanctuary, Nanak has entered O God and the Lord with His patronage protected him giving His hand. Nanak naam chad di kala, tere bhaane sarbat da bhala (Nanak, with name comes well being and with your blessings, peace for everyone.)
