In a public post shared by Jason Smith who is a member of the response team in the community, a miracle happened to a certain family. Apparently, amid the storm, the whole family hid inside their grandmother’s prayer closet. It was the only place they took shelter in, and after the storm passed, it was the only part of the house that stood still.

We can say God is indeed our hiding place, our fortress when we’re afraid through this story. That He alone is our refuge, and we can always run to Him in times of trouble.
“One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord. And to seek Him in His temple. For in the day of trouble He will keep me safe in His dwelling; He will hide me in the shelter of His sacred tent and set me high upon a rock.” -Psalm 27:4-5
