We seem to be in some very turbulent times in our weather…we have many members of FTE who have lost homes, businesses and their livelihood to water, many who are in extreme drought conditions and now we have fire ravaging the southwest.

Yesterday Los Alamos New Mexico (where I grew up and my family is) was evacuated .....18k people gone because of a fire that has grown 50 thousands acres in just 20 hours
…. It was just 11 years ago we lost 400 homes in Los Alamos to the Cerro Grande Fire.....
........ that fire was only 48 thousand acres…it took over three months to consume that land ….this Las Conchas Fire is extremely fast

.....Take a moment today and pray not just for fire victims but for all victims, during a very turbulent time in America with Mother Nature

Each day find something good in it.

 

Praying man....We need a break from all the rain here in Ky....If I could, I'd sure send it your way.....

Best of luck

 

Thanks man...seems the entire planet is a bit Topsy Turvy ...ever since that huge earth quake in Japan....a bit coincidental but all telling!

 

Mother Nature is simply going through Menopause...And in yer neck of the woods, it's Hot Flashes....In mine...Cold Sweats...

 

my thoughts and prayers for everyone dealing with crazy weather! we have family in North Dakota which have had to leave Minot due to flooding.

on the flip side, we have been having fantastic weather here in Alaska!! (sorry) and less wild fires then normal it seems, they just got the one big one under control.

 

I trust everyone finds a save haven and a place to relax and call home. Prayers sent.

 

Agreed!!!!!!!!!

 

Thoughts and prayers to all being affected by all the chaos Ma Nature has been throwing their way!

 

Prayers sent to all the people involved in these disasters.

 

Without saying enough to put this thread into Club FTE, Jesus said that there would be signs in nature that would precede his return.

 

if it happens, it happens.... nothing we can do about it. but oddlly enough it is some strange weather.... tornadoes/floods/fires. but lets get on with our lifes! i kno when the end of the world happens ima go FLYIN down the highway in my truck and outrun it all! hehe

 

That's a little harsh - tell that to the people that have lost their homes. "Getting on with life" has a completely different meaning to them.

My uncle and cousin live in Joplin, MO and were very fortunate to survive the tornado, but not more than a block away is pure destruction. It was one thing to see it on the news, but it was another to see the photos they took themselves and hear their personal perspective. I'm sure it's an entirely different experience to actually be there in person, and to live through it. I can't even imagine.

 

It's been going on longer than the earthquake. I've seen more snow here in the last 2 years than I've seen my entire lifetime in this part of Texas. My neighbor said the same thing and he's 86.

We're facing a record drought here. They're comparing it to the drought of the 1950's, which is the worst on record. The snow may be new, but the drought here was worse around 60 years ago. (for now) And wasn't the "great flood" of the Mississippi back in 1927 or something? Doesn't exactly sound like anything new or unheard of going on to me.

 

Well they have it 3% contained

 

Apparently, my short legged rain dance is paying off!
