Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Fire and Death
Hurricanes, Earthquakes, Fire and
Death. They are nothing new. These events have been occurring since the
beginning of time. Why are they more scary today? Well because they are all
happening to Biblical proportion, happening together and scaring the heck out
of a lot of people.
I'm forgoing my regular blog to blog abou1t this because like many of you, what
is happening is scaring me too.
The Gulf part of Texas was devastated very recently by Hurricane Harvey. Houses
ripped apart, flooding causing all sorts of civil and health issues. The Texas
governor says the money needed to repair the damage is over 100 billion
dollars. Congress passed a bill to give them about 15 billion, a true horror
for sure.
The media was saying that Harvey was a 1 in a
thousand year storm event. Boy did a thousand years go quickly. Just about a
week later, Irma forms in the Caribbean. It grows into a monster storm. They
are saying the biggest ever. What? Some want to call it a category 6 storm, but
those more calm individuals continue to say there is no such things. Irma
destroyed the Caribbean. As I am writing this, Irma is taking out its wrath on
Florida. I’m praying as I write.
That is not all, there is Jose. Another
hurricane that has formed in the Caribbean right behind Irma that last I looked
is a category 4 storm. Jose is taking almost the same path as Irma. Everyone is
holding their breath about Jose.
In the Gulf of Mexico, there is Katia. Katia
from what I understand is heading south. You don’t hear much about Katia so
hopefully it is not going to create too much havoc.
While all this is happening, Los Angeles
California was burning. They were saying the biggest fire in Los Angeles
history. Droughts, fire, mudslides in California are becoming the norm.
Oh if that wasn’t enough, an 8.2 earthquake
in southern Mexico that has caused devastation as Katia was approaching killing
dozens.
You may be asking “What the heck is going on?” Some are saying
we are experiencing God’s wrath. Some are saying this is all a consequence of
Global Warming. Still others are saying all this is cyclical. Events like this
happen every couple of centuries. Really, no one knows. They are all just
speculating. No one knows.
So what do we know? We know that these events
are devastatingly destructive and will cost hundreds of billions of dollars. We
know that we are all unnerved and frightened. We know that we are all weary of
Mother Nature.
Finally we know that none of us know what is happening or what will happen moving forward and we are all scared.
Just thinking out loud!
