While thousands of people in Florida are feeling the effects of Hurricane Milton, a woman in Georgia is still recovering from the damage caused by the previous weather disaster. Surprisingly, certain sacred items were left largely untouched.
Cindy Cole, a 62-year-old grandmother from Nashville, Georgia, recently had her home destroyed by Hurricane Helen.
Cole told SWNS that she was sleeping in her bedroom on the night of September 26, as the storm was passing, when she heard a voice and believed it was divine intervention.

Cole said she woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of the lights going out and heard “voices.”
“I was lying there and I heard a voice say (again) three times, ‘Get up and go to another room in the house,'” she said.

Cole got up and left the room, but within five minutes a large tree from a neighbor’s house “slammed into her bedroom” and landed on her bed, SWNS reported.

Cole said that when he returned to his bedroom to see the damage, he was shocked to find the room completely destroyed and his Bible left untouched.
“When I first saw the Bible, I thought, ‘Wow, I can’t believe it’s still there,'” she said.
