Prayers Ahead Of The Storm
This thing barreling down on the Gulf Coast of Louisiana and Alabama looks to be very big trouble for area that doesn’t need any more.
I know there are at least a couple YORF members in that area, maybe more. But regardless of whether we know them or not, offer prayers, in your own way, if you are so inclined for those in the path of thing. It’s gonna be rough. May the Lord’s hand be on them and all those who will come to their aid. Earl

Amen, brother! Prayers for safety and for protection! We all need prayer and it's good to continue praying for one another, especially during this challenging time with all that is facing this world. Each of us can make a difference for good. Little is much when placed in the Master's hands. Kind regards, Jeff Jenkins aka: Faithwalker NAR #46879 SR |

Well we survived tropical storm Nicolas. We can't buy a rain here at Shiner; been about a month now with no meaningful rain. We were supposed to get between 2-4 inches or maybe a bit more here out of the storm, and the Needville farm was supposed to get about 6-8 inches with localized flooding rains of 12 inches or more. We got ONE shower of about five minutes not heavy enough to even wet down the porch and that was IT. Needville got a half inch yesterday and about an inch overnight, which makes sense since they're much closer to Houston and north of Matagorda by about 60 miles where it made landfall. We could have used 3-4 inches of rain there too honestly. The thing just seemed to skirt along the coast just offshore, which was good for folks to keep the bad winds out over water, but most of the rainfall was constrained to south of Highway 59, which runs along the coast about 50-60 miles inland from Houston to north of Corpus Christi. Watching the radar everything just evaporated as the storms moved north of 59.
I guess the high pressure over the western/northern part of the state simply dissolved the storms before they could move much/any further inland than that. Crazy! Hurricane Ida creamed New Orleans and then moved up through Memphis and Nashville area and then across the interior states and ended up dumping a ton of rain on Philly and 11 inches in SW New Jersey before moving out to sea-- stupid storm goes 1400 miles or so and STILL dumps that much rain, and here we were barely 100 miles from the storm center and didn't get hardly a drop. Just crazy. We got some wind, been breezy all day yesterday and last night when the boy got home from football practice it was blowing about 25-30 while we aired up his low tire on his car. Been about 15 mph or so all night and all day today. My brother called me this morning and he said they ended up with 1.5 inches total rainfall, but the wind was worse and took down one trifurcated cedar tree that was by his water well... the tree had developed three trunks coming out of a single stump in basically an upside-down tetrahedron, and they were getting so big and so old that he pruned them back a few years ago and bought a big chain to connect them all about ten feet up off the ground to make sure they "reinforced" one another, since one was showing signs of cracking near the stump. Well, the weak one went down, which leaves the other two at a precarious angle. Dunno what he plans to do with it from there, he's gonna cut up the fallen one this evening after work. At least it didn't hit anything. All in all pretty light all things considered. We sure could have used some rain though for the pastures, the wind nobody needs... though the breeze is nice. Later!
