    Well,there’s one thing for sure!!! GOD is still in control!!!! The weather belongs to HIM!! Where it makes landfall,is clearly up to HIM…….when it gets into the gulf,there is no way for any human being to tell us exactly where it will make landfall….now,they can predict and even be correct…but all in all,it is still GOD that is in control……..

    I’m not worried, I don’t think its coming here looks like it is going to Louisiana. I am not a meteorologist, but I think they get people all worried for nothing, it did look like it was coming to us in the beginning but not now.
