Hurricane Jeanne

It will be the state's fourth hurricane of the season - an ordeal no state has had to face since Texas in 1886.

Officials ran out of time to remove piles of debris left over from Frances - some taller than adults - that still sit in neighborhoods. Some people took to burning the downed trees, housing material and other debris that could become airborne, banging into homes and endangering anyone who ventures outside.

My heart hurts for the people who live in Florida. No one alive has seen the hurricane force visited upon this peninsula state. As wonderful a place as Florida is, we witness 'the equal and opposite' law in the form of another hurricane.

Godspeed.

Comments:
I keep calling Florida for business and each week brings a new tale of destruction and hardship. For the families that lost homes it must be devastating. I'm only in contact with tourism businesses there and on both coasts they seem to have stories to tell of no power to telephone interruptions and more severe damage to their properties. I can only imaginge how the economic impact of these hurricanes on tourism will be felt by the average citizen. Surely these storms will impact everyone! I think of them often and pray that God will comfort them.
