Hurricane may touch San Pedro!

PLEASE PRAY!!!!  The outskirts of hurricane Wilma may touch San Pedro early in the morning on Friday.  The coast of Belize has been ask to move inland.  We evacuated yesterday (Wed) and are safe, however when we left waves were already getting to the street.  I can't imagine what they are like now.  We should know tomorrow afternoon how much damage.  This picture below is a picture of one of teh poorest areas on San Pedro.  It's called the 'Lagoon'.  Many Belizeans don't have money to buy land (it's all gone up b/c of the tourism) and so they build in the water. These homes you see you get to by walking in water.  The one you see a couple pictures below has at least 6 people living in it!  There are at least 100 homes out here, and this picture was taken before any rainfall!  May Mary's Mantle protect her people!
