DEVASTATION THROUGHOUT FLORIDA, GEORGIA AND FURTHER

 Many have died and more are to be counted due to Hurricane Helene. In my Diocese of Savannah, Valdosta, Georgia has been devastated. 

Please pray for all the victims and for a quick recovery!

My hometown of Augusta has been devastated. No one in my Diocese of Savannah has ever seen something like this.

Augusta is 140 miles from the Georgia coast and over 300 miles from the Gulf coast from where this hurricane arrived.

Here are photos behind my sister’s home in Augusta:

I graduated from here in 1976, then known as Augusta College and today as Augusta Univerity:

Waffle Houses use to not have locks on their doors as they never close and stay open during catastrophes like hurricanes:
