RSSHurricane Earl Moves Toward East Coast
September 2, 2010
Hurricane Earl is moving toward the East Coast of the United States, prompting evacuations in areas at risk of being hit by high winds and heavy rains. The Category 4 hurricane, which caused property damage but no reported deaths or serious injuries as it passed through the Caribbean, could affect a large swath of the shoreline, from the Carolinas to Cape Cod and on towards Nova Scotia.
Episcopal Relief & Development has been in communication with the dioceses located in the path of Hurricane Earl. “We are standing by,” said Katie Mears, Program Manager for USA Disaster Preparedness and Response, “and are ready to assist with these important disaster response ministries. We are keeping all those affected in our prayers.”
