Our pastor had a word from the Lord before hurricane season that Florida would become inhabitable. He was hesitant to share it since it seemed so catastrophic. Since he shared it(after Charlie) to help us make sense of what was happening, we have been sharing with certain others to help them understand that this is a judgment on an area. We should pray for God's mercy but not pray against his judgment for His "judgments are true and righteous altogether." There have been stories of miraculous survivals and Christians being spared, but I think the kindest thing one could share with loved ones is "MOVE if the Lord tells you to do so. STAY only if HE directs. For certainty PRAY ABOUT STAYING OR GOING!!!"
