Hurricane Dean is quickly spinning towards the Gulf Coast as the first Atlantic hurricane of the year. It has already devastated several of the islands in the Caribbean and is predicted to make landfall in eastern Texas, a region that just endured tropical storm Erin and has sustained heavy rains and flooding throughout the year. Flooding is definitely a potential problem in this area as Dean brings more heavy rains.All of this seems so far away as I look out the window and listen to the lightly falling rain outside. To me, it is refreshing and pleasant, but to the people in Texas and throughout the Caribbean, it is a hazard that they could definitely do without.
Update: It looks as though Texas will miss the brunt of this storm...but still be praying for those in this storms path as it tracks through Mexico. Also pray for those in the Caribbean who have already experienced the strength of Dean as they repair their homes and the lives that were so rudely interrupted.
