Well with so much of Haiti living in tents, and very make-shift tents at that, a hurricane would be just absolutely devastating! Even the strong winds on a near miss would leave so many people homeless! Remember, many of these “tents” are constructed of sticks stuck in the ground with a bed sheet over them…like we used to make as kids to play in! Some better ones are made with a sheet of plastic on top, and even better ones will have a rusted piece of corrugated metal roofing material. Of course there are many nice tents sent in from other countries in international relief efforts, but would you want to endure a hurricane in one?

Many of us saw the looming danger and prayed that Earl would turn right and calm down…well, it did! Thank God. Our hope is that result is duplicated with the other storms on the horizon…
