[Magdalen] SC update to Hurricane Matthew

[James Oppenheimer-Crawford]

It is wonderful to read that you have thought of so many things to take
care of. God grant that you and yours ride out the storm with little need
for all of those precautions!

And, yes, a prayer for those poor folks on those islands.
