Timothy Wayne George's comment on 2012-10-30 00:30:28:
Amos 3:15, God warned He would smite the winter house with the summer house. We must pray God that He may have mercy on us. When a hurricane and a winter storm come at the same time, God is warning us to repent, before something worst comes. Pray for all the people who are in the path of these storms.
