Fuel On The Horizon
I do want to make sure everyone understands that Nome has plenty of (1) diesel fuel for electric power generation and (2) home heating oil. What is arriving on the Russian tanker Renda is fuel for the vehicles of Nome. Yes, these are emergency vehicles like the ambulance, fire trucks, police and school buses. But, we are not looking at freezing in the dark.
You are asked to pray for the safety of the Renda crew, the Coast Guard Cutter-Icebreaker Healy crew and those who have to venture out in temperatures waaaaay below zero to offload the fuel.
