Ida Claims More Victims

 Hurricane Ida, whether she is listed today as post-tropical, or a depression, is wreaking havoc in the Northeast, as Fox News reports:

Eight people were confirmed dead in New York City, including a 2-year-old boy, a 48-year-old female and a 50-year-old man who were all found inside a home in the Jamaica neighborhood of Queens as a result of the severe weather. In New Jersey, a 70-year-old man was reported dead and a 19-year-old man was found dead in Maryland.

I'm sure that Disaster Declarations will soon follow.  We'll add those people to the prayer list tonight at services.

A CT State Trooper was killed in Woodbury when his cruiser was swept off a dark back country road in the flash flooding. His last radio call was that he was in trouble. They found him today.
