Chance of snow: 100%

That's what the winter storm warning says.

 I say:

 

And I pray everyone stays safe out there!!

 





After Sandy

 

We finally arrived home late last night.   When we left Michigan yesterday morning it was cold and windy.  We drove through rain, a little sleet, lots of wind, and even some snow.  After a very long day we felt so blessed to get back to homes with electricity and no damage.  So many others around us weren't so fortunate....we'll be praying for them.

 

 ^"May the Lord bring good to you and keep you.  May the Lord make His face shine upon you, and be kind to you.  May the Lord show favor toward you, and give you peace."

Numbers 6:24-26

Sandy

Charlotte, Katie, Mandy and I are in Michigan visiting my family.  We spent today hanging out with my mom...shopping, eating Coney Dogs, meeting my newest great nephew, and gathering information about this crazy storm called Sandy.  We're praying that our family back home is taking all necessary precautions when it comes to keeping themselves safe.  We're suppose to be heading for home on Tuesday...not sure that's going to happen!  We're driving and we sure don't want to drive straight into this crazy weather.  For now we plan on having fun with my family, and we plan on keeping everyone impacted by the weather in our prayers!!

After the Derecho

This weather map is from last Friday at 10:55 PM.

"Between 9:30 and 11 p.m. Friday night, one of the most destructive complexes of thunderstorms in memory swept through the entire D.C. area. Packing wind gusts of 60-80 mph, the storm produced extensive damage, downing hundreds of trees, and leaving more than 1 million area-residents without power."  The storm is called a Derecho.

Crazy weather.  Both of my sons (and families) were part of the 1 million who lost power.  Joe's came back on Saturday night, but Kevin's is still out.  It's been a busy weekend at my house and Katie's.  (Thanks Katie for opening your home to guests!)

Power is still out for so many people.  Traffic lights are out. Trees are down. I work at an insurance agency and we have had a bunch of calls about trees down...on the ground, on a house, on a car!  Katie and Mandy both work in insurance claims....I can't even imagine how busy they are today.

At least 5 people in the Washington DC area were killed.....another 8 deaths in other areas in the eastern United States.   Definitely makes these other things pale in comparison.  I sure am praying for all those affected by this storm..including all those people working outdoors, trying to get things repaired and cleaned up.  Crazy weather indeed!

 

Hot Enough For You?



Thanks for sending this to me Tisha!

Maybe I'll try this today at about 3:00 PM.

The forecast for that time is 101 degrees with a "feels like" temperature of 115 degrees!

On second thought maybe I'll just stay inside.
