Evacuating Florida because of Irma
« on: September 05, 2017, 09:18:04 PM »
Hi Flourish Friends,
Just wanted to let you know, my family and I are evacuating Florida tomorrow. Assuming our house is OK and things are still here, we will be returning on Monday. All approvals for new members and posts may be delayed. Thank you for your understanding.

I also wanted to take a minute to say we are thinking of our Texas members as they recover from Hurricane Harvey. And to all of our Florida members who may be in Irma's path, we wish you good luck and Godspeed.

Love,
Erica
Warm Regards,
Erica

God bless you, Erica!  Stay safe!

Texas is still reeling from Harvey!  My church was taking a trailer full of supplies down to the Houston area on Monday.  They wanted dust masks, rubber gloves, bleach, mosquito spray, & sponges.  My town was basically sold out of all-of-the-above, as every church in town was trying to do the same!  We are 12 hours away from the devastation, but everyone is trying to help!  We all need to pull together when disaster strikes!

Safe travels!!

Janis

Good luck and stay safe. I think you're doing the right thing. I'm keeping an eye out even though the odds of it reaching us in the Carolinas seems to be receding. But anything can happen.

Keep safe everyone.

Stay safe, Erica.  Keep your family close and we pray this storm will lessen before it gets to Florida.

  Hugs - Agnes

My wife and I were scheduled to be in a three day conference in Tampa.  We had to cancel yesterday.  To everyone affected by nature, be safe.  Our hearts and best wishes are with you.

May God bless you and keep you safe.

Hoping all goes well for you and your family.
I have an opinion and I'm not afraid to use it.
