gojacks-Patron Saints don't discriminate.

Usually there are several patron saints for a specific cause, and several causes per saint. In this case, I think we should pick St. Erasmus, who in addition to storms is the patron saint of (or against, I guess):

"boatmen, danger at sea, intestinal disorders, mariners, navigators, sailors, seasickness, stomach diseases, storms, watermen, and women in labour".

I guess there's a comon thread there someplace. Before being caught and martyred in 303, Erasmus hid out for a while and was fed by a raven.

Triva in the face of trauma...how human.

peter there's no need to be rude even though you're feeling stressed and powerless. many Floridians will be hiding out and fed by others over the coming week
