Hurricane Supplication Day

Yes, this is a real, legal holiday!  In the Virgin Islands, on the fourth Monday in July, people meet in the churches to pray for protection from hurricanes. 

Hurricanes don’t make it inland to where I live very often, but there have been a few.  Now that I have lived through one very bad one, I can understand why one would want protection.
