Urgent Prayer Request for Our Family {re: hurricane irene}

Hi Everyone,

Irene has been here since this AM.  Around 9 o'clock, the only signs of damage we had was a tree that split in two in the backyard.  It fell away from our house...but the other half is still standing.  As well as scattered leaves and tree limbs. 

Around 30 minutes ago, my siblings and I were all sitting on the couch watching a Little House and my parents were in the other room eating some breakfast. 

Then all of the sudden we heard the loudest boom ever.  

An enormous pine tree had crashed through our roof!!   Part of our ceiling upstairs is wide open!!!  Rain is coming through the gaping hole.   The damage is pretty bad.  It is a mess!! 

What a shock to us all!  We were totally not expecting it, especially since Irene's force had changed from a category 3 to a category 1.  We are all safe.  Thankfully, no one was upstairs.   Although a couple of people we know are without power, we still have ours...so that's a plus!  God sure was looking out for all of us. 
Please be praying!!  But, not just for us, because I know anyone who has been or will be affected by Irene will need a lot of prayer too!

I had to add this verse that Miss Elizabeth Rose wrote in a comment to me...it's so perfect:

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof." ~Psalm 46:1-3

I'll update as soon as I can.
Love,
Moriah
