Adventures of the Saints !!! That is the comment I heard tonight as we surveyed the damage from a storm that went through here around 7pm. The winds seemed like hurricane force. The large yellow and white tent that Friend Ships was using as their base blew away taking with it smaller tents that were set up inside, cots, food, all their cooking facilities, etc. The couple living here had just gone into a small trailer as the rain started. PTL! they were not inside the tent. The tent wrapped around some trucks of Samaritan's Purse that were parked in the field. Lots of damage. We have trees down all over the property. We've had lots of rain in the last two weeks and the ground was soft. The trees uprooted and then the wind broke off a lot of huge limbs. It really looks like a tornado hit the compound. None of our buildings sustained any damage and no one on the compound was hurt. Praise the Lord!!! A power line out in front of the property broke across the road so the entrance to the compound was blocked for a while. We have our work cut out for us for the next few days. We are blessed to have 9 World Racers still here...in fact we gained 2 more today. They will join us in the clean up.
