Milton Aftermath at Grace (Photos)

We have wrestled with Milton. Let us stay together.

We contended with this storm, but we got through another one.

Please communicate with those at church to check on each other.

So here is what is in this post.

  1. How are things at Grace Lutheran PSL

  2. How are people doing in our Church

  3. How to help those on the west coast

How are things at Grace?

Things are good at Grace. We had the shutters up on the original building.
The church has power (I have never seen the church without power, as Grace is on the same lines that support the emergency room in SLW).

  • We do have some small things.

  • General debris on the campus

  • 4 of our decorative trees our down.

    • We have need for our trees to be uprighted and re-supported

  • Alzheimer’s patients return tomorrow morning.

Thanks to Maryann and Gary for Cleaning the grounds!

How are our friends doing in our church?

  • I (Pastor Cris and Coli) do not currently have power 10/10/24 4pm
    Everything else is normal.

  • Thursday was a scary day for us in St Lucie County. I don’t know what the final number was, but we had somehting like 20 tornandoes in the area.

  • I have talked and texted with a good amount of poeple.

    • Most are fine, some have power and others don’t.

    • I have talked with a few where the tornadoes did not hit them but homes in their direct neighborhoods where hit.

      • I know of

        • Frank and Trisha, Martin Co.

        • Megan and Tom, Rosser Blvd.

        • Kevin, Lakewood Park.

      • I know of more but these seemed to be the closest.

    • The first phone call I recieved Wednesday was from Joeseph and Lena.

      • It said they just got hit by a tornado. (north of Sams on Gatlin)

      • The tornado went right down the edge of their property and went down their road.

        • Their damage is minimal, but their water softner was damaged by a branch in the tornado. So they are without water and power.

        • They are staying with family in Tradition.

If you know any more stories, please let Pastor Cris know.
Here are some I have Recieved.

  • Hans

    • We did have a lot of tornado activity around us in Hope sound and south Stewart. We were under a tornado warning for four hours consecutive.

    • I visited three customers today, whose property is within a mile of our house and they varied from significant impact to near devastation.

How do we help with our friends on the west coast?

  • Thursday I recieved a call from Jay Wedland (head of Lutheran Early Response Team).
    He was asking for how we are and asking for volunteers to help in St Petersburg.

    • The 2 churches in St. Petersburg have 75 homes with signifigant flood damage.

    • He was asking for volunteers to muck out homes there before the mold sets in.

      • He stressed that it is not pleasant work. It is hot and messy.

  • I asked how long would someone be expected to help.

    • He said no more than a week, and it can be just a couple of days.

    • He will take what he can get.

    • Wednesday would be the earliest day you would begin.

  • To help, sign up:

    • Email: jwendland@flgadistrict.org

    • Send this info:

      • Name
        Phone Number
        Email Address
