This just in, 1856 Last Island Hurricane upgraded to 160 mph just because.

The 185mph at landfall is probably a bit generous, though.

Unrelated to Melissa... but posting here because hurricane season will be here before we know it. Hopefully another season of no gulf landfalls, but if one does hit Here to Serve just picked up our second mobile kitchen. A little more compact and setup different, based on our experience with what needs to be where...
Our plans are to setup both trailers withing 30-60 miles of each other to be able to support each other while helping more people in need. Both are capable of producing 2000 meals a day.
We also have a refrigerated trailer now and plans to buy a 28' box truck that half would be refrigerated and the back half dry good storage.
The Lord has blessed us in so many ways. These trips are not cheap and donations are always needed. We are working on some local fundraisers to help keep this going. An average trip, with just one mobile kitchen is $25,000-30,000 so with 2 kitchens that will double.
We recently went to Oxford for the ice storm and we have prepared to respond to more tornado events than we have in the past.
