Title: Pray for us in the south!
Post by: David on March 10, 2008, 09:46:16 AM
The south coast of Britain is being battered by the worst storms for over 20 years over the next 24 hours.
The room I'm in is shaking now as I type this.
Please join me in praying for those that live in exposed coastal areas, that their homes, businesses and lives be safe in the Lords hands. Also for the very brave emergancy service people out there helping people, and the flood defense workers. God be with them.

    My prayers go out to you David, never hear too much about the weather in Great Britain, Do you have an update for us, as of 3-18-08, is everything okay now and how did things go for you in this weather crisis.

                              Your Brother, Samson.

Thank you everyone for your prayers and kind well wishes.
God be praised that as far as I know from the news, there was no loss of life or serious injury. The country thanks to heavy reporting of the storms approaching seemed to be well prepaired.
There was some flood damage to coastal regions due to tidal surges, wrecked boats etc in exposed harbours, structural damage to property from the winds, but no serious injury. I personally saw some waves breaking over cliff edges that are 40 feet high, and surges on flat beaches over 100 metres inland flooding homes and tossing cars around, and deluging some of the coast roads. We live about two miles from the sea, luckily we're high up here so no threat from flooding, but the wind was pretty hairy. Thankfully our buildings stood up to it.
Thank you again everyone, and thank God for answering our prayers.
