Update on Fay

Thanks so much for your prayers. I just went to Weather.com and it looks like the storm is now just getting past Haiti. From the following news report, it appears the hurricane is heading into the ocean today and it was not a very powerful hurricane (praise God!!):

The center of Tropical Storm Fay appears close to emerging off the west coast of Haiti. Maximum sustained winds are estimated at 45 mph, mainly near coastal areas. Late last night, a sustained wind of 40 mph was measured on the southeast coast of the Dominican Republic.
Fay continues moving west at about 14 mph. The center of the storm has been over land since Friday afternoon, and little change in strength has occurred. However, as the storm emerges back over open waters today, the opportunity for additional strengthening will increase as environmental conditions remain favorable.


Please keep Karen and Kaitlyn in your prayers. Their flight arrives into Cininnati at 11:30am tonight. We are all excited and will be there to welcome our missionaries home.

Love,

Mike
