Prayers for Rescuers

Here is an email we received tonight from my mom's cousin's wife. George, my mom's cousin, is a police officer in Florida and has traveled to Mississippi to help with the efforts there.

"George called tonight....they are in Gulfport, which is near Biloxi. He was exhausted, but had gotten some canned food, and said they have water. They have a couple of trailers, so they are able to take shifts sleeping in something. They are in a parking lot along with officers from the Sheriff's office in our county, and they have made a camp of sorts where they can all meet, try to get rest when they can, and stay as safe as possible.They just got there this morning, and all he could say is that it is unbelieveable devastating, and that all the pictures in the world can't show what it is really like. He said they were almost unable to get even to there. He also said the police up there are so grateful for the help, it is just overwhelming..
they will probably going to stay about 10 days and then they will be relieved by other officers from here, and so on. I am sure this will go on for a long time.
I am sending along a forward from a friend of ours who lives in Reno, but whose son is a firefighter here in town, and who also went out there. His story is basically the same.
Please continue to pray not only for the victims of the storm, but for the rescuers.
