On the way home I was looking on both sides of the road, at the rising water, and kept saying, Oh, my God, Oh my God.

We are all keeping you and your family in prayer.

I was disappointed. We waited over an hour in line. They were out of strips. Out of spicy. They only had original/dark meat. But all the disappointment dissipated when I got the first taste of chicken grease.

He was attacked on social media because the church was not open as a shelter.
Seating almost 17K people does not equate to housing the same. These are not fold up chairs that can be moved out of the way.

Lakewood opened yesterday, I think. They needed time to gather staff and supplies. It was reported that the mayor was informed that Lakewood would open after other shelters were filled.

Anyway, people love to hate Osteen.

It was reported on Monday that the Osteen's were without power. There were staff on site on Monday instructed to let in anyone requesting shelter.
