Default In need of prayers for south Louisiana

I would like to ask for your prayers for those in south Louisiana that were devastated by the historical floods over the weekend. I have lived in this area for my whole life (almost 55 years). I have seen some horrible hurricanes (Katrina, Gustave, and Andrew to name a few). This is as devastating as anything I have ever seen. I have many relatives and close friends that have water in their homes. I am one of the lucky ones that escaped a near miss. This was a 500 year flood event. Please pray for those suffering.

Thanks for your prayers and well wishes. We had 25" over the weekend where I live. There is a town north of here that had 31". Most of that rain was Friday and Saturday. We had light rain off and on Sunday.

Ryan - You and yours are certainly in our personal, as well as church, prayers. The United Methodist Church is already on station, offering help, hope and consolation. I have the tractor with front end loader and backhoe loaded on the car hauler here in Mississippi, and our church group will soon be arriving to assist. For our Fordbarn family - if you wish to help - please offer prayers followed by a monetary donation to the Red Cross, Salvation Army, or the United Methodist Disaster Relief Fund. This is an incredible weather event, my friends, and literally thousands of our American family, friends (and pets) will be adversely impacted for the foreseeable future. May God bless and keep you......

I can't thank you enough Marcus. You guys are like angels from heaven. I know there will be people from all over the country coming to help like they have in the past after hurricanes. I will be helping my brother restore his home tomorrow. Thanks again to all for all of the prayers and well wishes.

There were 40,000 homes destroyed, 110,000 homed damaged, and $20 billion in damages in the Baton Rouge area. Over 100,000 cars destroyed. This is a picture looking down the street where I was working to help my brother recover. This is a common sight all around this area.
