I
notice many listening to the media pertaining to this war in the Middle
East and Israel. No matter what your personal opinion in the area there
is much we need to be paying attention to and the relevance is much
greater than most are aware.
WE KNOW... In 2001 The world trade centers
came down. This was an opportunity for people to turn back to God...we
didnt. There was a second shaking to wake us up....7 years later the Economic crisis of 2008... Did we see the relevance then...unfortunately not..
Did you know that Every time something significant in Israel takes
place and America is involved something significant happens here...dont
think so look at this:
Latest : The incident involving Syria and chemical weapons--
Obama should have stood up and backed his threats but didnt and the
result was a government shutdown in America.
Another time?... April 19,
2010 Deep Sea Horizon disaster- Obama announced for the first time that
the US wouldnt automatically stand with Israel at the UN council
meetings as in the past- the next day the Worst Environmental Disaster
in History happened.

President Bush Sr speaking in Spain. The perfect
Storm happened in North Atlantic. "Damage from the Perfect Storm totaled over $200 million (1991 USD)[1]
and the death toll was thirteen. Most of the damage occurred while the
storm was extratropical, after waves up to 30 feet (10 m) struck the
coastline from Canada to Florida and southeastward to Puerto Rico. In
Massachusetts, where damage was heaviest, over 100 homes were destroyed
or severely damaged. To the north, more than 100 homes were affected in
Maine, including the vacation home of then-President George H. W. Bush.
More than 38,000 people were left without power, and along the coast
high waves inundated roads and buildings. In portions of New England,
damage was worse than that caused by Hurricane Bob two months earlier.
Aside from tidal flooding along rivers, the storm's effects were primarily concentrated along the coast. A
buoy
off the coast of Nova Scotia reported a wave height of 100.7 feet
(30.7 m), the highest ever recorded in the province's offshore waters.
In the middle of the storm, the
Andrea Gail sank, killing its crew of six and inspiring the
book, and later
movie,
The Perfect Storm. Off the shore of New York's
Long Island,
an Air National Guard helicopter ran out of fuel and crashed; four
members of its crew were rescued, and one was killed. Two people died
after their boat sank off
Staten Island.
High waves swept two people to their deaths, one in Rhode Island and
one in Puerto Rico, and another person was blown off a bridge to his
death. The tropical cyclone that formed late in the storm's duration
caused little impact, limited to power outages and slick roads; one
person was killed in Newfoundland from a traffic accident related to the
storm."
**Wind gusts changed direction from normal patterns and went from east to west instead of normal west to east.
Aug 23, 1992 Hurricane Andrew- Topic: Peace talks move to Washington- Hurricane Andrew was the third, and final, Category 5 hurricane to strike the United States during the twentieth century. At the time of its occurrence in August 1992, Andrew was the costliest hurricane in United States history and became known as the Worst destruction caused from a natural disaster in
America . Considerable damage to oil platforms was reported, with one company
reporting 13 platforms lost, 104 structures damaged, and five drilling
wells blown off course. Total losses to oil companies reached
approximately $500 million. The storm spawned at least 28 tornadoes, especially in
Alabama,
Georgia,
and Mississippi. Overall, Andrew caused 65 fatalities and $26 billion
in damage, and it is currently the fifth costliest hurricane in Atlantic
hurricane history, behind only Hurricanes
Katrina and
Wilma in
2005,
Ike in
2008, and
Sandy in
2012. Other sources state that damage from Andrew reached as high as $32 billion.
[1] Due to the destruction, the name was retired in the spring of 1993.
Sept 28 1998 "Hurricane Georges was a powerful and long-lived
Category 4 hurricane which caused severe destruction as it traversed the
Caribbean and
Gulf of Mexico
in September 1998, making
seven landfalls along its path. Georges was
the
seventh tropical storm, fourth hurricane, and second major hurricane
of the
1998 Atlantic hurricane season. It became the second most destructive storm of the
season after
Hurricane Mitch and the
costliest Atlantic hurricane since
Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Georges killed 604 people,
The hurricane made landfall in at least
seven different countries (
Antigua and Barbuda,
St. Kitts and Nevis,
Haiti, the
Dominican Republic,
Cuba and the United States) and
Puerto Rico, a Commonwealth of the United States — more than any other hurricane since
Hurricane Inez of the
1966 season.
Topic: Israel deal to give up 13% of their land
won in the previous wars. Arafat
addressed the UN and says that Palestine will have its own state before leaving to return home. Storm lasted from Sept 28 to October 4th before dissapating. As
Arafat leaves the country the storm stops.
