Feeling helpless…

I feel so helpless watching the news developments for Hurricane Irma – and all I can do is plead to family, friends, and residents to evacuate the possible target areas.

Some have left or are doing so right now.

Some are staying put because they feel that if they were ok in previous hurricanes that they’ll be ok now.

But … NO TWO HURRICANES ARE THE ALIKE.

As of right now, Hurricane Irma is showing a probably path right to where my family lives in Punta Gorda, FL.  I’m terrified.

I haven’t posted anything here since Harvey hit Texas – it’s been all consuming – and frankly it would be insensitive just to post some “happy-go-lucky” blurb – and truthfully I’m not feeling that way at all.

I feel drained watching the news – but we have to watch to try and help in anyway possible.

I’m praying for family, friends, residents, first responders, and pets.

PLEASE contact anyone who might live alone and any Senior Citizens who might not have assistance to evacuate or get to a shelter.

Please keep everyone in your prayers.  As Florida Governor Scott just stated in a news conference “The storm is here.”  “This is a deadly storm.”

If you’d like you or your loved ones to be included in our prayers – please post the first name of the person and their location below.

And Texas, we are still praying for you – you’re not forgotten during this time.

Blessings,

Jacque
