Hurricane Alex

You've probably heard about the hurricane approaching the Gulf Coast, well it has already wreaked some havoc on Belize and surrounding Central American countries, Mexico and Guatemala. I have had a hard time finding out information about it, but I read a small article in a Nebraskan paper this morning (I happen to be in Nebraska).
Apparently, the Cayes (the islands) have been evacuated for the most part. Ambergris Caye is where my aunt has a house, and also where the school, Holy Cross, is located. Thankfully, I got an email update from the school saying they were fine.
Other damages included collapsed houses, missing roofs, and a Mennonite community that is cut off on the mainland due to a bridge that washed out completely.
Please send prayers and thoughts their way!
