Hurricane Isaac Update Wednesday, August 29, 6:15 AM

As Hurricane Isaac continues to devastate the coastal areas of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, we are asking today that you keep the residents of these areas in your prayers. This storm is a very slow mover and the storm’s effects will be felt for quite some time. We also would like to ask that you contact your local Red Cross Chapter to donate whatever cash that you can, so the Agency can continue to supply support to those families who are in need
.
The outer feeder bands of Isaac are producing very heavy rains and winds sustained at 40 MPH with gusts to over 60 MPH in parts of Coastal Alabama and Mississippi, with much higher rainfall totals and much higher winds in southeastern Louisiana.
