The storm has taken a heavy toll here. Several people died when trees fell on their homes or cars. One woman drowned when a flash flood filled her basement to the ceiling.
Please pray for Don Holmes and his family. Don was in an accident at their home yesterday afternoon here in Bellingham, Washington.
He was in the back yard cutting a tree when it sprang back, striking him and knocking him unconscious. His family was unable to find him until 7:30 pm, suffering from hypothermia. In addition, he has a collapsed lung and damaged vertebrae, leaving him paralyzed from the waist down. He is currently in St Joseph hospital with family, and may possibly have surgery next week.
Don still has his sense of humor, but his life will likely be very changed as he may need to remain in a wheelchair. Please pray for Don, for his wife Barbara, and for the doctors as they deal with this trauma.
His is not a story you will read of in the newspapers, but this wonderful man and his wife's life will be forever changed by this windstorm.
