I had many friends (all loved ones) in my prayers and thoughts for they were in harms' way. I have close friends in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Maine. It was a Category I for most of the time, plowing through N.C. and VA. and then up to Maryland then hit NYC itself, then all the way up to Canada and beyond. Rain was so thick and heavy that even though skies are basically clear, the water that hit the higher elevations is now flowing down and overflowing all the creeks, streams and rivers and the almost the entire New England area is flooding.
Imagine this: 3 MILLION people without electricity. Yeah, scary. And the city, state and federal governments have yet to know the full impact of the storm and how long it will be before the power can be restored.
My prayers are with so many and I have heard from a few of them on facebook - but they're texting via their blackberries or ipads, etc (all battery-powered) because they all say they have no electricity. Some have babies and little children too...so I pray for a quick return of electricity and basic needs to their lives.
My own Road Trip had not been so rough this past week - other than worrying about my job. As I said earlier, my supervisor told me to get ready to be let go in 2 or 3 months.
I am not alone on this Trip. God is with me and my wife. We are in His good hands!
