My friend I completely agree with rant part 1. These people are in the business of saving lives, or so they say. But at what cost? Where does it end? The panic and hysteria got to me as well. I said somewhere that I underestimated this storm and we left. My nephew refused to go. So I gave him my generator, gas, propane, ice chest and food. All the supplies they would need to ride it out. The next morning we heard the same "unsurvivable" warnings. I've seen the damage from the winds of Rita, surge of Ike, and the rain of Harvey. Yet it took the entire family to convince him to leave. I'm glad he did, less stress of the unknown. But it was unnecessary. Only by the power of prayer and the grace of God, we were spared.
With all due respect, the last line seems too much. It's not just the wording you chose, although many may agree with you.
We can't stoop to the level of the devil. As Christian's we must rise above and depend on the messages we receive from him. The Lord works in mysterious ways. As I was typing my reply, I was shown a picture of a bed with a tree branch straight thru. If he wouldn't have made his mother evacuate, well you can imagine the rest.
