"We grieve with you and there will be days that life will wear you down," the Rev. Larry Lynn told more than 100 people from a makeshift wooden platform where a broken cross was propped up next to an American flag. "But life does go on and we're here to help you pull it together. Don't let bitterness set in."

Good luck Prayers! The issue is a south bending jet stream and a Northerly oncoming cold front! It will repeat over and over in Central Florida, as it has for centuries. Has ZIP to do with prayers or Godly imaginations! Sorry, ain't no one to blame!!

Pray to who? In the end there is is no one to pray to except your own sick dependency! Get off your butt. Get busy! Much better chance to survive! That is what made America not a sick distorted Christian imagination.
