Hurricane Harvey is scheduled to strike the Corpus Christi coastline on Saturday morning around 7 am CST with winds clocked at least 100 + mph and inland as far as San Antonio with sustained winds of 70 mph. Rain fall is off the charts for these areas for this time of year. Property damage is expected. Request prayers.

    You have our prayers from Vanuatu. we got hit with a massive category 5 Cyclone with winds up to 250 km/h on March 2015. we pray for the families affected by the Hurricane.

    Our prayers to the US President too, Rainfall off the charts may mean our climate is changing, the pacific is already experiencing the effect of climate change. maybe it is time we ALL should hold our hands together and combat climate change.

    You think?  At 9:am where I live in southern California, the temperature was 101 F, 38 C.  Right now it is 107 F,  42 C.   EDIT: at 1:pm it is 112 F,  44C and still climbing.   Global warming is definitely here.  The naysayers can pound sand all they want to but it doesn't change what is happening all around us.

    It is definately here.. Pacific Island nations being surrounded by the sea have seen first hand what the Global Warming can do.

    Change in the temperature, sea level rise, cyclones getting stronger every year and we only pray that it does not get any worse than that.

    Saturday morning in San Antonio. Woke up and surveyed the damage. We were fortunate and have been so far aside from a few broken branches from the Pecan Tree and some loosened boards on the picket style security fence that's the extent of Harvey's incursion into our lives. I've not seen any heavy rain just a steady drizzle with occasional sporadic wind gusts of perhaps 20 to 30 mph. Your prayers truly were heard for our safety but they're still needed for those who have suffered worst in the coastal regions and inland flooding in some eastern counties. Thank you all and God Bless.

    You got it Texas.  I have relatives in Galveston.  Are you evacuating or hunkering down?

    I'm in San Antonio so I'm staying right here. So far the latest news is a lot of folks have already arrived in town and are staying with friends, relatives and have booked hotel/motel rooms plus the city has provided for shelters. This storm is suppose to last through the weekend into Monday gradually weakening and moving off to the east and possibly back out into the Gulf of Mexico but who knows these storms aren't 100% predictable. We don't get hit by hurricanes as often as say Florida but when they do hit they don't kid around.

    I hope you all stay safe over there! Stay on higher ground and keep indoors, no sightseeing during the storms!
