Storm Stories

"A few minutes ago every tree was excited, bowing down to the roaring storm, waving, swirling,  tossing branches in glorious enthusiasm like worship. But though to the outer ear these trees are now silent, their songs never cease."

John Muir

Last week, our community endured strong winds that knocked down trees,  tore shingles off roofs, scattered branches in streets,  and caused damage across our state. Sadly, individuals also died as the result of this storm.

Today, many families are still without electricity. Schools are closed for a second day. Friends are sharing stories of reading by flashlights, enduring minor and major inconveniences, and waiting for a small return to normalcy. 

One friend shared her chemotherapy was interrupted are the result of the storm. There are countless storm stories. Pray for recovery... physical and spiritual.
