EXTREME STORMS IN TEXAS

Thursday, March 29th dangerous storms moved through deep south Texas dumping up to six inches of rain in places and a lot of hail. McAllen which is 25 miles west of our home received the worst of the storm. There were tornadoes sighted in McAllen and south into Reynosa, Mexico.
Lloyd watched that night as a river of water flowed down the street in our trailer park. Anything not fastened down floated away. News showed pictures of one inch hail covering the ground in McAllen and drifts of hail blocking roadways. Car dealerships lost their entire inventory, roofs were blown off and neighborhoods were covered in water. And it was coming our way. We prayed especially for the church in Nuevo Progreso which is only eight miles south of where we live. The storm lingered most of the evening, causing major damage north and west of us.
Two days later on our way to the church we noticed that roads were dry and there was no mud. It had not stormed in Nuevo Progreso! The night of the storm a group of ladies met at the church to pray and some of them were from Reynosa. While praying they heard the news that tornadoes had been seen in Reynosa, but it was quiet and peaceful at the church in Nuevo Progreso. Later the ladies remarked that it was a blessing to have a peaceful haven of prayer, quiet and dry, while the storm was all around them. Many prayers were answered that night on both sides of the border.
