good morning everyone Josh sever weather happy Wednesday to you I just want to pause real quick to remember those who lost their lives and family members in 911 and obviously we've got to talk about weather today hurricane Francine strengthened last night as expected it is now taking aim at the Louisiana region Mississippi and Alabama as well here over the next 24 hours I'm going to talk about what to expect what has changed what could still change and what you should be preparing for obviously if you're in Louisiana you need to be fully prepared now this storm is starting to uh bear down on you it'll be making landfall later this afternoon and conditions will continue to go downhill from here I know it's not super bad just yet although it will start to get windier at the coast and that storm surge will be climbing as the day wears on uh we are seeing strengthening as of this video here 7:00 Central the storm is a high-end category 1 it still is probably going to strengthen a little bit more here as we head towards the rest of the morning into early afternoon then we'll reach a point where wind shear should kick in and start to stop that strengthening period but there's a chance that that strengthening period may find a way to continue right up until it makes landfall these storms can be resilient as they grow and despite wind shear uh sometimes that stronger uh wind flow aoft can lead to um what can be enhancement and ventilation of the storm despite the fact that it will be more tilted and kind of disorganized looking due to the fact that the Storm Center uh will be a little bit displaced from what's going on above the ground either way uh this is a strengthening storm it's not going to be a Katrina or an Ida or a Laur but it will be a pretty intense system as it moves in uh we are expecting hurricane conditions to affect the New Orleans area there's a hurricane watch in effect there I'm going to break down all those watches and warnings what maybe isn't being talked about is what I believe will be an increasing threat for some quick tornadoes some of which could get up to ef2 uh as this storm makes landfall tonight across Far Eastern Louisiana Southern Mississippi and Southwest Alabama by the way tomorrow as this system is weakening and it's getting enhanced by the jet stream we could have more tornadoes across parts of Alabama and Eastern Mississippi uh in places like Birmingham and Tuscaloosa we may have a mini tornado outbreak so I'll talk about that in this video here is the official forecast from the National Hurricane Center still expecting a bit more strengthening up to about 100 miles per hour I think the good news is that it is behaving the way I think we all expected the strengthening took a little bit longer than a lot of us expected to happen yesterday but certainly it's going on right now uh and the storm system is moving out of the area the highest ocean heat content but still over very warm water so there will be a bit of a lag uh as it moves into cooler water that slows down that strengthening period eventually as it moves on Shore it will be weakening uh we are going to see the storm tomorrow morning uh moving by to the northwest of New Orleans east of Baton Rouge and heading into Mississippi and it will weaken pretty quickly and is expected to slow down it's actually moving faster this morning at 12 mph uh which is good news uh meaning that the rainfall totals will be a little bit less than a slower Moving System uh like a barrel obviously but either way it is going to produce some very heavy rain and probably some flooding across these low-lying areas of Southeast Louisiana and maybe southern Mississippi uh by this time tomorrow we'll have a lowering chance of this still being a tropical storm and then it will be a Remnant Low fizzling by the time it gets to near the Memphis Area models have continued to shift to the right overall uh you can see where they were a few days ago centering on Southwest Louisiana uh yesterday centered uh near the a chaala Vermilion Bay areas uh South Central Louisiana and pretty good agreement this is going to hit Southeast Louisiana somewhere between Morgan City and hom and continued to track between Baton Rouge and New Orleans here is the official Hurricane Center forecast in my opinion I still think it needs to be shifted to the right a little bit more uh but we have 90 mph winds as of this morning expected to reach 100 mph sometime late this morning into the early afternoon then that intensity levels off so this will not rapidly intensify as it moves on Shore this afternoon and evening and uh we'll be mo making landfall here in the hurricane warning area looks like very close to Morgan City uh possibly still as far east as H uh and as far west as New Iberia although I'd be shocked if it came that far west to be honest with you I think it's more likely going to be on the right side of this and then the system will weaken to a tropical storm uh overnight tonight as it moves somewhere across the Florida parishes of Louisiana now uh models continue to be on the right side of the hurricane center forecast bringing the Storm Center very close to the west side of the New Orleans area and into the NorthShore region uh in fact I'll show those to you but in my opinion this storm track will take the system through tabone lefo uh St Charles and eventually Eastern tangoa and St tamon parishes it's possible it could still make its way into St Charles and and Jefferson Parish it's unlikely it's going to be moving right over to the west of Baton Rouge so what this does is it puts the strongest winds on the northeastern side of the storm and that includes H and Tibido that includes Luling and destrahan and uh Kenner and the west side of the New Orleans area and also includes both Lake Mara and Lake ponchet train and we could even see hurricane conditions extending into places like ponchatula and beo mandaville Madisonville Covington uh goodby fome Louisiana uh according to what I expect happen by the time it moves up into Washington Parish I think it will be below the hurricane intensity uh what this also means is it increases your risk of stronger wind across the remainder of the east facing coast of Louisiana so St Bernard and plaman parish as well as all of coastal Mississippi and Coastal Alabama and we could even see some strong winds uh sneaking up into the Pensacola area as well although the worst will be across Mississippi and parts of southern southwestern Alabama here is the official Hurricane Center forecast and warning map and you'll see a hurricane warning in effect for all of South Central and interior Southeast Louisiana up to Baton Rouge hurricane watch for greater New Orleans as well as a tropical storm warning now I personally feel like this is this needs to be upgraded to a hurricane warning I don't think anybody's doing New Orleans any favors by keeping it a watch uh watch means possible warning means imminent um I'll show you the models in a minute but I think you'll see that because the storm has grown um and because it's going on the right side of this track that New Orleans very much is at risk for Hurricane conditions and when I say New Orleans uh please don't feel left out um if you're in Kenner if you're in St Charles lower Jefferson Parish lefo Parish you guys are also in that area I know you're not right in New Orleans you're in the kind of the swamp to be honest the River Parishes but um you guys are very much at risk at seeing hurricane conditions tonight especially in the evening hours um we do have a tropical storm warning that extends in the southwest Mississippi including mome Nat even into parts of Central Louisiana places like crot Springs and simsport and all the way back to Lake Charles if you're in Lake Charles you're on the good side of the storm uh but you will see some Gusty winds out of the north and west um as we have much higher pressure off to your North a lot cooler drier air on the west side of this system that will actually increase that pressure gradient uh mobile Baldwin County um all of Southern Mississippi under a tropical storm warning and you guys do need to be prepared for power outages some strong winds and some storm surge and we have a tropical storm watch that goes up to places like Hattisburg Laurel Mississippi and just to the south of Jackson in my opinion I think we could see tropical storm winds um getting up into this area including Jackson and areas just south and east VI across central Mississippi as well but this should die off pretty quickly by tomorrow night into Friday morning as it nears the Memphis uh area one thing you'll see is that the hurricane force wind swath is growing um over the last few hours the storm is taking on a larger shape so this does increase that Windfield the tropical storm Force Windfield is also growing eventually I think the hurricane Force Windfield ends up in here and the tropical storm Force Windfield kind of ends up sort of like this uh again really tough to say at this point because any deviation left and right on Final Approach can change that but what you should be preparing for are the winds to start picking up here late in the morning on the coast and then in the afternoon across the rest of Southeast Louisiana and then in the early evening uh north and east of Baton Rouge across the Florida parishes across the coastal portions of Mississippi and Alabama and later tonight across the rest of interior Mississippi this storm is going to be moving pretty quickly in your direction uh so you do need to be quickly preparing here for the storm storm search forecasts have not changed too much they have been lowered west of where the storm is going to come in so west of Vermillion Bay over through the uh Rockefeller and Laine refu refuges over to Cameron down to 3 to 5T um that is the area that really got hit hard with hurricane Laur and hurricane Delta those forecasts have come down some but still uh if you're near the coast 3 to 5 ft will inundate you on the first floor 1 to 3 feet back through the galvaston Bay Area Lake Charles uh the mouth of the Sabine River all the way down to Freeport and then the highest amounts of storm surge will be near and east of the center all the way over to Port fuson 5 to 10 feet of storm surge that includes all of coastal St Mary Parish uh that includes all of Iberia Coastal Parish Marsh Island of coastal uh um tabon Parish uh and all the way over to lefo Parish 4 to 7 feet across Coastal Jefferson Parish and the southern um facing coast of the pla's parish region bararia Bay will see storm surge coming up into the swamp land two to four feet here on the east facing Coast between uh the rales and the mouth of the Mississippi but Lake pona train that storm surge forecast has increased to four to 6 feet this is going to put the lak shore of New Orleans especially the part of Jefferson and St Charles Parish on the lake at risk of seeing some significant storm surge uh so if you're on the Lake Shore um north of the airport basically is where I think you are going to see inundation Lake marpa 3 to 5T uh east of the Storm Center um we are going to see storm surge hitting Coastal Mississippi four to six feet including the stennis um Space Center area including buuy Gulfport uh Waveland and pass christien um Josh morgerman lives down there he better be ready for that I know he's uh excited about storms like this East Ocean Springs Pascagoula 3 to 5T uh all of the Alabama Coast 2 to four feet including Mobile Bay we could see coastal flooding in parts of mobile and then that extends even into uh Northwest Florida 1 to 2 feet all the way to the Santa Rosa Okaloosa County Line storm surge definitely even though it's a category one going to two is something that can cause quite a bit of damage so can Inland flooding and that is also a concern New Orleans floods during a summer thunderstorm this is going to be a bad event for you in New Orleans but it is going to be a quickly evolving and quickly easing event this system's going to be out of here tomorrow so you're going to see potential flash flooding but it won't be lasting for a long long time like Katrina um you'll see that moderate risk goes all the way up to Jackson Mississippi slight risk all the way up into Northeast Arkansas Western Tennessee much of Alabama even Southwest Georgia and western Florida the Panhandle and then up into the quad state area all the way to Cape Gerardo and Koo Illinois has a risk of flooding um there will be very little rain east of this system once we get high pressure to take over here so those of you that really need the rain in this area and the appalachin are not going to see it uh but those of you in the UPS slope areas places like bravard Pisa Forest uh Pickins County South Carolina Northeast Georgia all have a risk of seeing some flash flooding out of this tornadoes are going to be a a greater concern as this storm is getting close to landfall later this afternoon over all of Southeast Louisiana but I particularly am concerned about Eastern St Bernard Parish Eastern St Tam all of Southern Mississippi here at least the coastal Parish or counties all of Southern Alabama here towards this evening and western Florida during the night tonight tomorrow um we haven't talked about this a lot but there is a some concern that even though the storm is weakening significantly um because of the upper level Dynamics remember that wind shear um that is getting uh increased by a strong jet moving in from the West that's also going to add some energy and some Windfield here so we may be dealing with some tornadoes tomorrow afternoon along the I65 Corridor even I 85 all the way to Auburn and opala Talladega Birmingham Hoover Alabama Tuscaloosa uh Chilton is in the risk here Greenville Montgomery uh and much of western parts of Florida and even Southwest Georgia uh near the uh near the area the Fort Benning area of Columbus actually I don't think it's Fort Benning anymore I don't remember the name all the way over to Tallahassee we do have that risk for tornadoes so real quick here let's run through the satellite this is the water vapor image and I'm going to draw over this the center of the storm is here it's accelerating Northeast in this direction we've got a short wave trough in here and a lot of dry air and that dry air was the reason the system struggled to strengthen yesterday but it's overcome that now and you can see the outflow has grown as a result but very fast wind flow aoft out of the Southwest bringing all this High Cirus Cloud uh from uh Texas into the Carolina so it is going to reach that region of high wind shear pretty soon here and as a result that strengthening should stop as it moves Inland it should be weakening pretty significantly um as we take a look here at the true color from tropical tidbits you can see the size of the storm has grown uh yes it doesn't have a cleared out eye there's Cirrus covering the eye but you can see it's trying to poke out here in the last image uh but definitely the system was smaller yesterday and today you can see that it's grown quite a bit here the Windfield is increasing as well so uh definitely a healthy storm even though it's in the face of wind sheer uh one that is growing and that means more folks are going to be impacted by those winds as that wind field continues to grow uh in fact um because it's getting hit with southwesterly wind shear and that will increase as this storm moves Inland um we are going to see this Windfield here continue to grow and that's why I'm more concerned about New Orleans not just being in a hurricane warning or not being in a hurricane warning but only being in a hurricane watch because this Windfield is going to grow and any deviation to the right is going to cause some uh larger areas of stronger winds and more power outages if you go from 60 to 80 m per hour that makes a pretty big difference for what uh power lines and trees can withstand so that's a concern of mine um I would not be driving over the causeway at all those kind of wind gusts just very dangerous uh as you see on the radar here um the eye of the storm has grown significantly the eyewall is very healthy on this side of the storm here the side that's going to hit Louisiana um there is some dry air that is trying to get into the southwestern part of the eyewall and as a result this is not going to rapidly intensify but it will probably still streng strengthen some it's a resilient storm it's in a very warm water and despite this wind sheer it is fighting it off pretty well here this morning I think when we get to tonight it's going to struggle with that wind sheer and obviously we're going to lose the very warm Waters of the gulf as they do get cooler near the coastline due to all the rain that we had last week so that rain was not fun but it is uh helping us out a little bit and keeping the waters a little bit cooler right near the coastal shelf uh hurricane hunters in the storm uh seeing falling pressure 975 97 six which is a strong category 1 almost Category 2 hurricane but uh at latest pass 972 mbar so the pressure is dropping slowly about a couple mbars per hour uh but may drop into the 960s which would be a category 2 storm we can get caught up in the category strength all we want but I think the one thing you guys need to notice is that the Windfield is growing here hurricane Hunters picking up on Hurricane Forest winds now well to the east of the center at flight level now on the ground they're not going to be quite that strong but we're regardless this whole area is exposed with oil platforms and oil structures all getting these hurricane force winds so this is going to disrupt the oil and gas industry uh with all the rigs that and platforms that are out here even though the winds on Shore should or the winds should weaken as the storm comes on Shore it's going to take time for that to happen um hurricane Hunters are flying through this is cyclonic wax.com you can see pressure down about 973 so this is a borderline Category 2 storm I do think we'll see some strengthening still this morning uh you can see the radar um showing a lot more wind on the right side than the left which is great for Texas U but you can see a much healthier core as well despite that wind shear out of the South and West all of our model guidance from this morning shows the storm going to the east of Baton Rouge now and to the west of New Orleans so right through the River Parishes uh right to the west of H uh across assumption Parish that I will go over you and assumption perish you may have a break um after the heaviest of wind where the eye actually goes over you and it's relatively Calm before you get the far back side of this system there's still a chance it could shift far enough to the right to move over St James and St Charles parishes and possibly into St Tam but more than likely we're going to see this coming through between Morgan City and hom and then going up into the middle of the River Parishes and then going up through Tang pooa parish and eventually ending up in Southwest Mississippi um don't uh get caught up in this part of the forecast this system's going to die when it gets here um I don't know why it's keeping the circulation going and pushing it back out here other than there's a huge High here that's eventually going to put up a wall here and keep this from progressing uh but it'll be dead by the time we get to the weekend intensity forecast we're close to Cat 2 now more than half our models have it getting to Cat 2 nothing going to cat 3 fortunately um and then quick weakening and by the time we get to tomorrow morning uh we're probably going to be in here uh lowering to a tropical storm and by tomorrow night maybe even a tropical depression so uh it's almost un strengthening but it still has a chance of do doing that you can see here that the storm is encountering more wind here um this is the wind flow way up over 30,000 ft this is the strong southwesterly flow and as we move this along um see if I can H my pens in the way Zoom is great when it works uh that's all right um You can see here that the storm this low down here was in an area very low wind flow aoft so in a favorable spot other than the dry air on the western side that kept it from strengthening now the wind shears picking up but it's lost the dry air so it's got a window to strengthen a little bit more as this moves on Shore at about 6:00 tonight that wind shear goes up significantly and by tomorrow it should kill off most of the Wind from this system but I do want to point this out here tomorrow afternoon there's a very strong jet out of the Southwest even though the low is in here there's going to be an environment of more unstable air here there's going to be some sun popping through and with this kind of wind flow we definitely need to be concerned about the threat for some tornadoes in the warm sector of this storm uh and I'm going to show you the predicted radar so you can kind of see that here I need to move along but here's the HW Worf we may get into the high 960s I don't think the low 960s but Category 2 storm making landfall very close to Hom here around 5 or 6 o'clock tonight then this model takes the low pressure right over um Jefferson Parish right over met uh and or the west side of me the east side of Kenner pretty much right over the airport strongest winds on the Eastern side which means New Orleans could be dealing with some of these strongest wind gusts here uh between about 6:00 and 8 or 9:00 tonight then the storm leaves pretty quickly and goes into Mississippi and we lose a lot of the strong winds that we're going to be seeing in Louisiana one other tropical model showing a similar approach this one's a little farther west it has the low going over places like llas and Reserve uh and then coming up through Madisonville and eventually up into the Franklinton area here overnight tonight uh winds will diminish quickly tomorrow as the system tracks into Central Mississippi and the pressure will weaken uh to about a th mbars tomorrow night as it lands somewhere close to the Memphis area or across eastern Arkansas by Friday morning you can see though by Friday afternoon not much of a system left over uh predicted wind gusts here these are how strong the winds could potentially get probably the high end here worst case scenario a wind gusts are over 100 miles per hour over those oil platforms this morning and early afternoon as the storm moves Inland we still have a potential to see wind gusts over 100 maybe as high as 113 over Coastal tabone Parish Inland we'll start to see tropical storm force winds moving into New Orleans around 4:00 here 3 to 4:00 you've got this band uh that is moving Inland into Southeastern parts of Louisiana including the New Orleans Metro the River Parishes assumption Parish maybe into Ascension Parish Iberville Parish uh St Mary Parish and both ends of St Martin the the two that are separated by Iberia Parish I believe it is uh you can see the eyes still holding together here still a strong eyewall and and the HFS model shows the potential for a wind gust to 88 mph in New Orleans the city so hurricane watch I think is not enough I think we got to have a hurricane warning even if it's only a couple of hours of hurricane force wind um these hurricane force winds may make it over the lake over Lake Pon train also Lake marpa um and there's a chance here that we still could see hurricane force winds even sneaking up in Far Southwestern parts or or it's Coastal Mississippi but the Far Western part of coastal Mississippi past Waveland those areas here maybe even slide L here that time frame is going to be around 9 or 10:00 tonight then the system weakens significantly uh we'll see the storm leaving still some Gusty winds on the backside bringing storm surge into the east side of New Orleans here overnight tonight uh but the system will weaken there may still be enough of a core for some stronger wind and you can see here maybe thunderstorms produce wind gust over 60 mph in parts of Central and Eastern Mississippi around Mississippi State also getting close to Tuscaloosa around the University of Alabama tomorrow around lunchtime these winds I think are being over forecast but it could still be a pretty windy day and evening tomorrow across Tennessee Northern Alabama far northern Mississippi maybe even Northeastern Arkansas we could see sporadic power outages across this region before things start to settle down all right uh here's a look at the N model these show you the strongest wind gusts again uh tough to see on here but 78 M wind gust at MSY 71 in hom and Tibido 90 Plus on the coast here 73 in New Iberia 63 in Lafayette 68 milph at Baton Rouge so uh we're going to be close to Hurricane force over a large area but these will be instantaneous wind gusts uh the her model shows these winds picking up here this afternoon uh this is 2:00 Central starting to hit the coast 3:00 4:00 now we get hurricane force winds at the coast 5:00 they're spreading Inland 6:00 7:00 approaching New Orleans from the South Grand Isle 90 M hour wind gust potentially at 7 tonight 8:00 is when the hurricane force winds are expected to slam the New Orleans area especially the Western and Southwest side 9:00 10:00 they're on the NorthShore 11:00 and then right around midnight Central um we'll see the strongest wind gusts uh moving into Mississippi as well here's a look at the dam model and you can see the timing is about the same this is 9:00 Central moving into Mississippi 10:00 11:00 maybe hurricane force wind gust in a Gulfport close to buuy as well keyler Air Force Base uh midnight moving up towards Hattisburg and mome 1: a.m. 2 a.m. eventually the storm becomes a tropical storm so these winds will come down but they're still strong enough to cause power outages across this area even mobile to Pensacola we could see 50 plus m per hour wind gusts I'm moving along here rainfall uh we are going to see significant amounts this is the blend of all the models 6 to 10 in of rain uh New Orleans has the potential to see 8 to 10 and that can cause widespread flooding I would not be thinking about traveling tonight or tomorrow morning until these Waters recede on the NorthShore 5 to 8 inches of rain H Tibido Morgan City 6 to10 Baton Rouge depending on where this ends up going if it goes over you in Baton Rouge you're going to see a lot more than two inches but right now the totals are higher in Livingston and Eastern Ascension Parish and Southern parts of tangoa Parish um definitely a lot of rain for Southern Mississippi we could see over 8 in depending on how this plays out we could see significant rain Inland uh in places like Oxford Mississippi Columbus maybe over 5 Ines of rain even Memphis could see about three and if you're in western and southern Alabama and western Florida potentially several inches of rain as well tornado threat increases here as we get to the end of the afternoon 3 or 4 o'clock it's pretty high over far Southeast Louisiana especially New Orleans on South and East uh but Coastal Mississippi I think you've got a tornado outbreak potential here this evening um same goes for Southeastern St tamon Eastern St Bernard and plaman Parish uh overnight Coastal Alabama and even parts of Western Florida I am concerned about some tornadoes um they could be brief but they could be intense nighttime tornadoes during Hurricane landfalls can be surprises uh Please be aware of that and please be um um monitoring your um your weather radios tonight and early tomorrow and then we see that chancef for tornadoes climbing tomorrow across parts of Alabama maybe far Southwestern Georgia uh Friday the chances come down these these values are not super high high but we still have to be on the lookout for that all right we're going long here but this is an important video um a lot of folks are in the track of the storm um you can see radar showing this landfall here about 5 6 o'clock tonight the worst for New Orleans between 7 and 9 and then spreading up into Mississippi uh as we get into the later evening hours um you will see uh isolated tornadoes in here you can kind of see these hook Echoes and then this system is going to very quickly exit and we should see a relatively dry quiet day for tomorrow tomorrow maybe a leftover shower during the evening hours uh looking at Alabama Mississippi western Florida here um you guys are in the warm sector you're in the area where we could see some tornadoes starting uh later on this evening and overnight tonight definitely a threat for a few tornadoes in the Mobile Bay Area I'd be keeping an eye on this area in here um this will be later this evening into the overnight and then towards early tomorrow morning in here uh definitely a threat for some tornadoes uh take a look at this future forecast radar though for tomorrow uh in Alabama you can see with the heating of the day here um we do have potentially um what could be an outbreak here across Alabama in this area here uh including Birmingham Tuscaloosa Montgomery uh even all the way up to Florence muscle Sholes and Huntsville um later in the afternoon I think and possibly into the early evening hours so that's uh it for Francine I may do another video later today let's look at the rest of the tropics really quickly here nothing else imminent several waves coming off of Africa that are struggling and you can see those here some heavy rain in the Eastern Caribbean uh but nothing that's in a rush to develop uh this is the first invest and it's struggling but it is still holding on um I think it's going to fade before it hits the islands but we need to watch it in the Caribbean uh later next week maybe it does something kind of like what we're seeing with Francine where it finds a way of trying to develop closer to Mexico or into the Southwest Golf and that's a big maybe uh it's really too soon to say uh but most of our models are keeping it weak there's some tried to intensify it later on uh 93l is just moving past the cape verie Islands this one has a much better chance of developing when it moves into the central Atlantic it is probably going to recurve uh but a decent chance it becomes a tropical storm towards the weekend uh but not a threat to land and then I did want to draw your attention to the Southeast coast here uh we may see low pressure forming east of the Carolinas here over the weekend and it could be a wet weekend at the beach but next week in particular we could see a subtropical or tropical storm by Monday east of Myrtle Beach or near Wilmington and this has a potential to bring some significant rain into the Carolinas Virginia maybe even West Virginia and Western Maryland here for the first half of next week this is a change uh because if you saw the models yesterday we had this huge Dome of high pressure blocking this whole area now it looks like that high is going to be able to to retreat and allow moisture to move its way up into the midatlantic region here early next week so we're going to see more of that here in coming videos um we do have a developing tropical storm in the Western Pacific it's moving away from Guam but heading towards okanawa and eventually towards China as a strengthening typhoon and unfortunately China could see a super typhoon or a very strong typhoon in the China Sea keep an eye on it in Taipei certainly watch it closely in okanawa uh but this is inching closer to Shanghai with each forecast and that's something I'm concerned about we're going to have some time to talk about it more though in future videos I hope everybody stays safe down south today I praying for you guys and I am a Christian and I truly believe in the power of prayer I give all the honor and glory to God and real quick uh just wanted to talk about God Ephesians 610 through2 Paul tells the Church of Ephesus to be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes for our struggle is not against flesh and blood but against the rulers against the authorities against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the Heavenly Realms and I haven't I've never had a house leveled by hurricane but I've been through some hurricanes um the struggle is really how people respond um I know a lot of us are lower income we are we're we're planning to see we're we're praying for help we're praying for financial assistance for insurance to come through here but it is a struggle every day and I'm not slamming anybody in those Industries but you guys are you're doing the Lord's work but but it is a struggle for those that that really need the help after these storms hit and just know that I'm praying for you guys that I truly believe if you put on the armor of God you're going to come out of this stronger no matter what happens today uh so just please know I'm praying for you guys I want everyone to be safe and I may try to do a video again here later today God bless you all have a safe day
