By Friday AM they are predicting that it will regain the strength of a hurricane.
Its path has fortunately angled to the west of Haiti (as opposed to some predictions leading it directly over PAP).
I spoke with Sister Fidelis last evening. She is in Pestel down by the water. She and the other leadership are aware of the impending storm.
Even though the hurricane appears to make land far out to the southwest, that is exactly where Pestel is.
The hurricane HAD potential to be a Category 3. It HAD potential to go directly over PAP. I've been watching it closely for this past week, and I've been amazed at how it has shifted to its current trajectory.
How do we pray about a hurricane? Several of us have been talking about this. One thing I learned through prayer is that God is able to do far more than we ask or imagine. I had no idea in my head that this hurricane could potentially have dissolved in the ocean south of Haiti, but that is exactly what is started to do!
We don't want it to hit Haiti and not any other people as well.
What I know at this point is that it had potential to be VERY VERY bad. And Haiti appears to have been spared that level of destruction.
If you have a Haiti calendar, consider praying for the people in the calendar. Those are folks from Pestel. If you would like to be reminded of others who live in Pestel, here are a series of photos:
