A Mr Lee, Governor of Tennessee, twitted that:-
"I'm proud to proclaim today, September 27, as a voluntary Day of Prayer & Fasting across the Volunteer State." This just prior to landfall of Hurricane Helene. Other Governors and States are available and were likely to be blasted. They looked to the Federal Gov. and FEMA (possibly in addition to the almighty) for assistance.
It appeared, somewhat belatedly, possibly grudgingly, Mr Lee decided to ware a belt as well as bracing and approached the Federal Authorities.
Amen!
