Thank you Tara. I think that I agree with the woman you spoke of in the story. The storm was a deliverance from Providence. It caused the British to leave the Capitol and while there was major damage from the hurricane, it stopped the fires and caused the British to evacuate.

let's hope and pray that the invasion of our Nations Capitol by the British was the last invasion of the Capitol for all of the future. May God bless the United States of America.

The British failed to take DC because of a major storm!

Bad luck 🇺🇸, coincidence 🇬🇧, or Divine intervention?

Looks pretty obvious, really.
