For a couple of weeks after Hurricane Bonnie drenched the Eastern seaboard of the USA a month ago, farmers had to spread great stacks of alfalfa and hay and timothy grass out in the fields to dry. Some of them prayed for the weather not to be cloudy, so the feed their livestock will need this winter would be dry and good, not moldy.

They prayed for the fodder, in the sun, on the whole East Coast.
