June, July & Augst 2017

JUNE:

JULY:

AUG. 26:  Hurricane Harvey made landfall in Southern Texas; the desctruction was almost total in some areas, and at least partial from the coast inland for half the state.  Harvey generated at least 9 tornadoes during its stay, and lingered for a solid week; rain is finally moving off to the East now.  At present, over sixty deaths were caused by Hurricane Harvey; the flooding that has come afterward has been catestrophic.  One entire family died when their van was overtaken by the sweeping water; mother, father and all four small children drowned.  They expect over 20,000 homes to remmain flooded for the next two weeks throughout the Houston area and its suburbs.  Most homes torn to pieces; a ten foot aligator found in the dining room of one home.  More than 42,000 people in over 2,000 shelters all over Texas.  This is expected to be the costliest natural disaster in American history.  Our prayers are with you ALL.

In Burbank,. California, 200 homes are being evacuated; wildfires have burned over 2,200 acres, spreading across the freeway.  High temperatures, in triple digits, are antagonizing the fire, making it more difficlt to get under control.  The current heat wave is blowing old records "out of the water" (according to Good Morning America).  Prayers to those who have lost their homes to the fires as well.  GOD BLESS.
