250 DEAD,1000 EXPECTED KILLED IN HURRICANE HELENE.

 250 DEAD,1000 EXPECTED KILLED IN HURRICANE HELENE.

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun,(HEATING UP-SOLAR ECLIPSES) and in the moon,(MAN ON MOON-LUNAR ECLIPSES) and in the stars;(ASTEROIDS ETC) and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity;(MASS CONFUSION) the sea and the waves roaring;(FIERCE WINDS)
26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear,(TORNADOES,HURRICANES,STORMS) and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth:(DESTRUCTION) for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.(FROM QUAKES,NUKES ETC)

THE FIRST JUDGEMENT OF THE EARTH STARTED WITH WATER-IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THE LAST GENERATION WILL BE HAVING FLOODING (BUT WILL NOT KILL EVERY BODY WITH WATER)(BUT 50% OF EARTHS POPULATION DIE (4 BILLION PEOPLE) FROM NUCLEAR WAR)(THE BIBLE SAYS BY FIRE OR ATOMIC BOMBS THIS TIME)
GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
GOD PROMISED BY A RAINBOW-THE EARTH WOULD NEVER BE DESTROYED TOTALLY WITH A FLOOD AGAIN.BUT FLOODIING IS A SIGN OF JUDGEMENT.

OZONE DEPLETION JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH DUE TO SIN

ISAIAH 30:26-27
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold,(7X OR 7-DEGREES HOTTER) as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people,(ISRAEL) and healeth the stroke of their wound.
27 Behold, the name of the LORD cometh from far, burning with his anger, and the burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a devouring fire:

MATTHEW 24:21-22,29
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And except those days should be shortened,(DAY LIGHT HOURS SHORTENED) there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake (ISRAELS SAKE) those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)(THE ASTEROID HITS EARTH HERE)
29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:

REVELATION 16:7-9
7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.
8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

EZEKIEL 32:6-9
6  I will also water with thy blood the land wherein thou swimmest, even to the mountains; and the rivers shall be full of thee.
7  And when I shall put thee out, I will cover the heaven, and make the stars thereof dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give her light.
8  All the bright lights of heaven will I make dark over thee, and set darkness upon thy land, saith the Lord GOD.
9  I will also vex the hearts of many people, when I shall bring thy destruction among the nations, into the countries which thou hast not known.

REVELATION 16:3-7
3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.(enviromentalists won't like this result)
4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.
5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.
6 For they(False World Church and Dictator and baby murderers by abortion) have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

2 Peter 3:6-7 Amplified Bible (AMP) (HOT SUN, NUKES ETC)
6 By these waters also the world of that time was deluged and destroyed.
7 By the same word the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the day of judgment and destruction of the ungodly.

FEARFUL SIGHTS AND GREAT SIGNS FROM HEAVEN

LUKE 21:11
11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

Sun Unleashes Monumental X9.0 Solar Flare – Most Intense in 7 Years – Captured by NASA Observatory-By SciTechDaily.comOctober 4, 2024.

The Sun unleashed a powerful X9.0 solar flare, the most intense in over 7 years.On October 3, 2024, the Sun emitted an exceptionally powerful X9.0 solar flare, peaking at 8:18 a.m. ET. This event, captured vividly by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, now stands as the most intense solar flare of Solar Cycle 25, which commenced in December 2019, eclipsing the previous high of X8.7 in May 2024.In fact, it’s the most formidable flare observed in the last seven years, since the X11.9 flare on September 10, 2017.Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation emanating from the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots. They are one of the most powerful phenomena in our solar system, capable of releasing vast amounts of energy equivalent to millions of 100-megaton hydrogen bombs exploding at the same time.Formation and Characteristics-Solar flares occur when the magnetic field lines near sunspots tangle, cross, or reorganize. This process can cause a sudden, rapid, and intense variation in brightness. The flare ejects clouds of electrons, ions, and atoms through the corona into space. These particles, when arriving at Earth, can interfere with magnetic fields, radio communications, and power grids.

Classification of Solar Flares-Solar flares are classified according to their brightness in the x-ray wavelengths observed by satellites. This classification consists of five categories:
X-class Flares: These are the largest flares and are major events that can trigger planet-wide radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms. An X-class flare has a peak flux (measured in watts per square meter, W/m^2) of 0.0001 and above.
M-class Flares: Flares of this magnitude can cause brief radio blackouts that affect Earth’s polar regions. Minor radiation storms might follow. The peak flux for M-class flares ranges from 0.00001 to 0.0001 W/m^2.
C-class Flares: These are small with few noticeable consequences on Earth, having a peak flux between 0.000001 and 0.00001 W/m^2.
B-class Flares: These are even smaller with a peak flux between 0.0000001 and 0.000001 W/m^2.
A-class Flares: The smallest flares, measuring 0.00000001 to 0.0000001 W/m^2 in peak flux, and generally have no effect on Earth.

Each category above C-class has ten subdivisions (e.g., X2, X3), providing a finer scale to quantify the intensity. An X2 flare is twice as intense as an X1 flare, and so on. This detailed scaling helps scientists, satellite operators, and communications specialists manage the potential impacts on Earth and in orbit.Impact on Earth-The arrival of the energetic particles from a solar flare can take from 15 minutes to several hours or days, depending on the flare’s intensity and the speed of the ejection. High-energy particles can degrade the performance and lifespan of satellites and other spacecraft. They can also pose risks to astronauts, particularly those outside the protection of Earth’s magnetic field. On the ground, intense flares can disrupt telecommunications and navigation systems and, in extreme cases, cause electric power outages.Understanding and monitoring solar flares is crucial for mitigating their potential impacts on Earth and human technology, making space weather forecasting a vital field of research in astrophysics and geophysics.

Death toll surpasses 200 in wake of Hurricane Helene-Officials say that number could rise further as searchers scour remote areas for those still unaccounted for-The Associated Press · Posted: Oct 03, 2024 4:34 PM EDT |

Hurricane Helene's death toll reached more than 200 on Thursday and was expected to keep rising, as searchers made their way toward the hardest to reach places in the mountains of western North Carolina, where the storm washed out roads and knocked out electricity, water and cellular service.How many people are missing or unaccounted for isn't clear. The death toll soared to 215 people as more victims were found, making Helene the deadliest hurricane to hit the mainland U.S. since Katrina in 2005. Roughly half the victims were in North Carolina, while dozens more were killed in South Carolina and Georgia.Now a week since the storm first roared onto Florida's Gulf Coast, the search is still continuing. While rescue crews waded through creeks searching for survivors, those who made it through the storm leaned on one another for support.In Black Mountain, N.C., town officials have been holding daily meetings at the town square. "It's incredible being able to meet in person," said Sarah Vekasi, who was cut off by impassible roads for days. More than 150 people gathered for Wednesday's session, as local leaders stood atop a picnic table shouting updates.Libre and Pamela Brousseau are dealing with a massive cleanup and hopeful for federal disaster aid after Hurricane Helene caused severe damage to their home in Asheville, N.C. The couple had flood insurance when they first moved in, but they opted out when it was no longer mandatory because it was difficult for them to afford the extra $600 a month.Martha Sullivan took careful notes so she could share the information — roads reopened, progress in getting power and water restored — with others.Sullivan, who has lived in Black Mountain for 43 years, said her children invited her to come to Charlotte after the storm, but she wants to look after her neighbours."I'm going to stay as long as I feel like I'm being useful," Sullivan said.A couple sit on a bench outside. The woman is using the man's back as a desk so she can write on a piece of paper. Beyond them, a man speaks into a microphone.Helping one another in the hardest-hit areas-In remote mountain areas, helicopters hoisted the stranded to safety while search crews moved toppled trees so they could look door-to-door for survivors.Electricity is being slowly restored, but nearly 900,000 customers are still without power in the Carolinas and Georgia, where Helene struck after barreling over Florida's Gulf Coast on Sept. 26 as a Category 4 hurricane. Deaths have been reported in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia, in addition to the Carolinas.Frank Johnson, who owns a company that makes robotic cutting machines in Mars Hill, N.C., said he feels like he is running a relief mission on his own, using his own resources to get water, food, and other supplies to his neighbours. "I've been hearing there are entire neighbourhoods gone. I'm still not sure people have the whole grasp of what we're dealing with," Johnson said.Hundreds of people are still missing in North Carolina days after Hurricane Helene ripped across the U.S. Southeast. Andrew Chang explains why so many people are unaccounted for, and why it's so hard for rescue teams to find them.Eric Williamson, who works at First Baptist Church in Hendersonville, N.C., normally makes home visits to members who can't physically get to church. This week, he's their lifeline, delivering food and providing a friendly face. He has a handwritten list of everyone he needs to visit. "They don't have telephone service, even if they have a landline, a lot of that isn't working," Williamson said. "So we're bringing them food and water, but also just bringing them a smile and a prayer with them just to give them comfort."An elderly person sits in a brown leather chair, while a younger man leans over them from the back of the chair. A lamp at the right lights up the otherwise dark room.Notifying relatives of people who died in the storm has been difficult in these remote areas.With no cell service, there's no way to reach out to next of kin, said Avril Pinder, an official in Buncombe County where at least 72 people have died. "We have a confirmed body count, but we don't have identifications on everyone or next-of-kin notifications."The county sheriff said his office believes more than 200 people are missing, although other officials said the number is constantly changing when crews make contact with people."We're continuing to find people," Pinder said. "We know we have pockets of people who are isolated due to landslides and bridges out."A person stands in the centre of the image, their hands pressed to their face and back to the camera. A white house is leaning on its side, collapsed, with rubble strewn around.Twin babies among heartbreaking deaths-John Savage said his grandparents were found hugging one another in their Beech Island, South Carolina, home where one of the biggest trees on the property crashed on top of their bedroom and killed them."My grandpa apparently heard the tree snap beforehand and rolled over to try and protect my grandmother," Savage said.Two firefighters killed when a tree fell on their truck also were among at least 40 people killed across South Carolina.Month-old twin boys, born in mid-August, were the youngest known victims. Khyzier and Khazmir Williams died alongside their 27-year-old mother Kobe Williams when a large tree fell through the roof of their home Monday in Thomson, Georgia.A composite image shows a woman's face on the left side and two sleeping babies on the right.Kobe's father, Obie Lee Williams, said he's devastated that he will never have the chance to meet his grandsons in person. He described his daughter as a lovable, social and strong young woman who cared deeply about her family.Other young victims of the storm include a seven-year-old girl and a four-year-old boy from Washington County, Georgia.Biden gets a firsthand lookU.S. President Joe Biden flew over the devastation in North and South Carolina on Wednesday, getting a firsthand look at the mess left by the storm, before speaking with survivors and first responders. The federal government has committed to footing the bill for debris removal and emergency protective measures for six months to address the various impacts of landslides and flooding.

Others stand intact, but near piles of rubble.A view of damage in Asheville, N.C., is seen during a Wednesday aerial tour of impacted areas with President Joe Biden. (Susan Walsh/The Associated Press)"We're not leaving until you're back on your feet completely," Biden said.Later at a badly damaged pecan farm outside Valdosta, Ga., he said the victims of Helene had gone through "hell.""I want you to know I see you, I grieve with you," Biden said while also thanking emergency workers and saying it was a moment to "put politics aside."A red building with rubble and fallen tree branches in front of it is visible. Farther down the road, more rubble is visible.

Taiwan re-opens, mopping up after Typhoon Krathon-Yimou Lee, Fabian Hamacher and Ann Wang-Updated Fri, October 4, 2024 at 3:12 a.m. EDT-By Yimou Lee, Fabian Hamacher and Ann Wang

KAOHSIUNG, Taiwan (Reuters) -Southern Taiwan worked on Friday to clear up damage from flooding and high winds after Typhoon Krathon slammed into a major port city, while most of the rest of the island resumed work and financial markets re-opened.Krathon, now downgraded to a tropical depression, hit land in the southwestern city of Kaohsiung, inundating streets, blowing out the windows of some buildings and scattering debris amid record-breaking winds.While the rest of Taiwan resumed work, the governments in Kaohsiung and neighbouring Pingtung county declared a fourth successive day off work as they scrambled to pump away floodwaters, remove fallen trees, and clear roads."We hope as fast as possible to resume transport, water and electricity supplies, so work and life can get back to normal," Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai told reporters.The city government said it was tackling more than 2,000 trees that had fallen on roads, but reported only two injuries.Workers used cranes to remove downed trees and traffic signs in Kaohsiung, a city and surrounds of 2.7 million people, with some roads blocked, forcing diversions of traffic and pedestrians."Sandbags didn't work. The wind pressed the water in anyway," said Clark Huang, 49. "Fortunately it lasted only a couple of hours and then we started cleaning up."Engineer Tsai Ming-an was cleaning up his home after floodwaters about 20 cm (7.8 inches) high washed through the entire ground floor."I have never seen winds like that," said the 51-year-old. "It was so bad."Typhoons almost always hit Taiwan's mountainous and sparsely populated east coast which faces the Pacific Ocean, but Krathon, unusually, struck its flat west coast.Nearly 100,000 households, almost all in Kaohsiung and Pingtung, still had no power on Friday, while 129,000 households in Kaohsiung lacked water supply.The fire department said the death toll remained at two, both men killed on the east coast before the typhoon made landfall, with one person missing and 667 injured.The typhoon had no impact on TSMC's operations, the world's largest contract chipmaker said in a statement.Taiwan re-opened its north-south high speed rail line, as well as most ordinary rail routes except for two branch lines, but disruptions to air transport continued, with cancellations of 15 international and 88 domestic flights.Workers at Kaohsiung port were clearing some freight containers blown off their stacks to make sure operations went unaffected, the transport ministry said.Kaohsiung airport suffered damage to two air bridges, while the airport on the outlying Orchid Island had landing aids washed away, though both remained open, the ministry added.The government also said it was investigating the cause of a Pingtung hospital fire that broke out as the typhoon was bearing down, killing nine people.(Reporting by Yimou Lee, Fabian Hamacher and Ann Wang; Writing by Ben Blanchard; Editing by Lincoln Feast, Clarence Fernandez and Michael Perry)

At least 2 dead, many more injured as Typhoon Krathon's torrential rains pound Taiwan-Krathon made landfall in the industrial Siaogang district of Kaohsiung-The Associated Press · Posted: Oct 03, 2024 8:11 AM EDT

Typhoon Krathon made landfall Thursday in Taiwan's major port city of Kaohsiung, bringing torrential rains and fierce winds to the island's south. Trees were brought down by high winds and roads were flooded, prompting the closure of schools and businesses.Krathon made landfall in the industrial Siaogang district of Kaohsiung around 12:40 p.m., the Central Weather Administration said. It packed maximum sustained winds of 126 km/h with gusts of 162 km/h.The typhoon was forecast to move slowly north and weaken into a tropical depression by Friday before reaching the capital, Taipei. It was expected to then head across the Taiwan Strait toward the Chinese coast. Winds were strong in Taipei on Thursday, but there was little rain.Kaohsiung earlier urged its residents to take cover from potentially disastrous winds and rain, which tore down storefronts and flooded car parks but caused no reported loss of life."It's very powerful," said Chou Yi-tang, a government official in Siaogang district, home to Kaohsiung's airport. "It's been a long time since such a big storm made a landfall here."Typhoon Krathon made landfall in Taiwan on Thursday, bringing fierce weather to the busy port city of Kaohsiung.Gusts and heavy rains pelted empty streets in Kaohsiung, while life in Taipei, 350 kilometres to the north, was only slightly disrupted.Injuries, deaths reported.Many residents woke up Thursday to mobile phone alerts urging them to take shelter from the potentially dangerous winds. The weather administration posted a Facebook message warning Kaohsiung and Pingtung county residents not to go outside when the eye of the storm passes above their area and the weather calms briefly, because the winds would pick up again afterward.Weather-related events attributed to Krathon injured at least 123 people around the island, according to Taiwan's fire department. Two people died — one after driving into fallen rocks on the road in the southeastern Taitung county, and the other while trimming tree branches in the city of Hualien. Two others remained missing.Kaohsiung Mayor Chen Chi-mai, writing on his Facebook page, said there was an "incredible amount" of rain from the slow-moving storm."Citizens and friends, please take strict precautions," he said.A fire at a hospital in Pingtung County killed at least nine people early Thursday. The deaths were attributed to smoke and the cause was under investigation. It was not immediately clear whether the blaze was related to the typhoon.Thousands were evacuated from areas vulnerable to mudslides and landslides. Almost 40,000 troops were on standby to help with rescue efforts.Mountainous areas in the island's south have received up to 169 centimetres of rain over the past five days.China's weather agency said some eastern and southern parts of Taiwan are set to receive extremely heavy rains of up to 40 centimetres over the next 24 hours.Typhoons often hit Taiwan's east coast facing the Pacific, but Krathon is unusual since it directly hit the west coast and also hovered off the coast before reaching land. Taiwan's media labelled it a "weird" storm.Kaohsiung officials, in urging residents to be vigilant about the weather, recalled the destruction brought by Typhoon Thelma, which in 1977 badly damaged the city and caused 37 deaths.Earlier in the week, Typhoon Krathon lashed northern Philippine islands, killing four people and displacing at least 5,000, officials said.With files from Reuters

Hurricane Kirk hits Category 4 strength, but not expected to hit U.S.By Staff The Associated Press-Posted October 3, 2024 6:13 pm

Hurricane Kirk was a Category 4 major hurricane on Thursday, and waves from the system could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions this weekend along the U.S. East Coast as well as in Bermuda, the Greater Antilles and the Bahamas, forecasters said.Kirk was located in the central Atlantic Ocean and could strengthen even more over the next day or so, but was expected to remain away from land, the Miami-based U.S. National Hurricane Center said.Swells generated by Kirk were expected to reach portions of the Leeward Islands on Friday, Bermuda and the Greater Antilles on Saturday, and the East Coast and the Bahamas on Sunday, the center said.There were no coastal watches or warnings in effect. The major hurricane was about 1,085 miles (1,745 kilometers) east-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph (215 kph).Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Leslie formed late Wednesday in the eastern Atlantic and could strengthen into a hurricane on Friday, forecasters said. It also was not yet deemed a threat to land.The storm was located about 580 miles (930 kilometers) west-southwest of the southernmost tip of the Cabo Verde Islands and had maximum sustained winds of 50 mph (85 kph), the center said.The storms churned in the Atlantic as rescuers in the U.S. Southeast searched for people unaccounted for after Hurricane Helene struck last week, leaving behind a trail of death and catastrophic damage.
