May 31, 2010 – 7:39am – Monday (Eastern Time) – Cocoa, FL – Report submitted by Joe Hurston – Air Mobile Joe 

Tropical storm Agatha slammed into Guatemala yesterday causing heavy rains and mud slides. As you can see from the image above, there are disturbances to the East and West of Haiti. Let us just continue to pray for our Lord to hold the storms back. Here is an aerial photo (below) of a typical “tent-city” in Port-Au-Prince. Now, just imagine if this area got hit by strong winds. We, in Florida, know how quickly and strong tropical storms can happen. They are always accompanied by heavy winds. Further imagine if you were a resident below. What would you hold on to, where would you go? Do you see all of the rusty tin roofing? That would become like “shrapnel” and would cut many. 

In addition to praying and asking our Lord to hold back the storm, please pray for the government / relief agencies to have wisdom and clear direction about “evacuation plans” for the 1,000,000 + Haitians that are in harms way. I remember very well that in 2008 Haiti had 4 hurricanes in 4 weeks! Each storm approached Haiti from a different cardinal heading (South – West – East – North). Every section of Haiti was impacted by these storms. The 2010 Hurricane Season is projected to be worse. Finally, as mentioned yesterday, today is Memorial Day. Let us honor those that have served, are serving and will serve our great country. America is still the greatest country on the earth. Let us also remember to pray for our country.

God Bless!!

PS – The tents in the tent cities have many different construction types. Usually, they are made from whatever materials are around.

Thanks for praying for Haiti!
