He also issued a state of emergency effective 2pm August 28, 2019, the time when the storm would reached us. The state of emergency ended this morning 6am, August 29th.
Yesterday, we had rain and wind begining at about 1pm. It lasted until 7pm in the night.

Dorian is now heading towards Florida with a wind speed of 60mph and storm force wind extending 60 miles outward from the center according to the National Hurricane Center (NHC).
The NHC also stated that the storm will upgrade to a category 2 hurricane before it reaches Florida.

As expected, the residents of Florida are vigorously preparing for the impact of this storm.
Please pray for the residents of Florida that God will shield them from this storm.
Thank you for your prayers for us in the caribbean. God has been good to us.
Let us continue to keep each other in prayer as we ride out the storms of life.
