I live in Louisiana and have to say this weatherman really clarifies what is happening in an extremely understandable way. Thank for such a great weather update! Pray for us!

[@defcon2544]

Please pray for those who will be affected by this storm.

[@codyruby1058]

yes lets pray for them

[@buddy8559]

Pray to the same “god” that brought us a pandemic and a hurricane and other plagues as punishment for not worshiping him. The same one that lets babies get raped. The same one that threatens to send us to hello. Sounds like your “god” is a narcissistic sadistic being. Good luck talking to your imaginary friend.

[@jaysonscott187]

Why pray? He's all knowing and knows how this plays out. Its already happened. Begging the God will do nothing. He made up his mind before the beginning of time. Gotta read your book! Peace be with you!

[@buddy8559]

Jayson Scott all of you people are mentally ill.....

[@benzalexx]

Defcon 2 They’re in our prayers. As for Buddy and Jayson Scott. It’s very apparent that non of you have done any study on Christian beliefs/doctrine. Why would you? You’ve already taken a definitive stance on the existence of God. How could an all loving God exist with so much evil in the world? Why pray if God is omniscient and omnipresent? Do you not think the early church fathers asked themselves these same questions? I’m done giving evidence for the Christian God. If you’re actually interested, look up Nabeel Qureshi, Ravi Zacharias, and William Lane Craig. If not fine, but we’re all gonna die one day. Best bet you’ve done your research before that day comes.

I LOVE THESE PEOPLE! The sheriff's office in Louisiana's Vermilion Parish posted this on social media: "Those choosing to stay and face this very dangerous storm must understand that rescue efforts cannot and will not begin until after storm and surge has passed and it is safe to do so. Please evacuate and if you choose to stay and we can’t get to you, write your name, address, social security number and next of kin and put it a ziplock bag in your pocket."

[@invertorsbid6284]

Doesn't God control the weather in the first place ? Man didn't create this storm if you believe that only God is in control of the weather like the bible says then this is Gods doing. Remember this is the same God that rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah and also he is the same God that flooded the earth in the days of noah oh yea then he sent all of those plagues to Egypt too . I wonder did the people that went through those things ask God to stop what he started as you are ? And if they did history shows he didn't listen because he does everything for a reason the question is what's his reason for this ?? Maybe your asking the wrong question???

Last year Dorian hit the Northern Bahamas with wind equivalent to a solid F3 tornado. 185 mph. And it sat there, for days. It was LITERALLY a giant city sized tornado. Weeks after it was gone I heard from someone who lived through it that there were no flies or mosquitoes, which while good news, also terrifies me with just how thoroughly deadly it was.
