Earth tremor hits southeast England APR 28,07

FOLKESTONE (Reuters) - Southeast England was hit by a small earthquake on Saturday that brought down power lines and caused structural damage. Kent Police worked with emergency services in the coastal town of Folkestone the area worst hit by the tremor to handle over 200 emergency calls. 135 firefighters, some using specialist equipment, were deployed.A 30-year-old woman suffered a minor head and neck injury. There were no reports of serious injuries.We can be genuinely thankful so few people were injured, said Chief Superintendent Alasdair Hope.

Experts gave differing estimates of the earthquake's strength with the U.S. Geological Survey measuring the tremor's magnitude at 4.7 on the Richter scale while the British Geological Survey put it at 4.3.

It's similar to ones in 1950 and 1776, said Dr Roger Musson of the British Geological Survey (BGS). We're quite fortunate that it's as small as it is.The earthquake brought down power lines with several thousand homes affected, but EDF Energy Networks said service were quickly restored in the Folkestone and Dover areas.After the earthquake, local residents called television stations to report
feeling the ground shake, cracks appearing in homes and chimneys being brought down.It woke me. It felt like an explosion and my bedroom started shaking backwards and forwards. It was a violent,

violent rattle, Alison Reiney told Sky News.Lorraine Muir said chimneys had come down, gas and electricity supplies were off and people were evacuated from their homes by the Salvation Army. The earthquake had no effect on international travel services with Eurotunnel, which runs cross-channel rail links to France from its terminal near Folkestone on the English coast, running normally.

A spokesman at nearby Dover, one of the busiest ferry ports in Europe, also said There has been no impact on ferries or on checking in.The tremor, which struck at 0718 GMT, was the largest British earthquake since the one that hit Dudley in the West Midlands in 2002.

Damaging earthquakes are rare but not unknown in the UK, and the Kent region is one of those areas that has experienced them before, said Professor Bill McGuire, the director of Benfield UCL Hazard Research Center.Two big quakes shook the Dover Straits in 1382 and 1580, reportedly causing widespread damage in adjacent areas of England and France.McGuire said the largest recent tremor in Britain was the 1931 Dogger Bank earthquake, which measured 6.1 on the Richter scale and was felt in France and Belgium.

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

The Nation's Weather By WEATHER UNDERGROUND, For The Associated Press
Sat Apr 28, 5:34 AM ET

Much of the country will enjoy dry conditions Saturday, as a frontal system that dumped rain on parts of the East Coast moves out to sea. Lingering showers are possible in areas of the Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic region and Northeast.A low pressure system near Baja, Calif., is expected to pull moist air from Mexico to the Southwest, causing showers and thunderstorms from Arizona through Texas.

A spring heat wave is expected to continue in the Southwest and California, with temperatures in the 100s expected in some areas. Temperatures in the Northwest are expected to be in the 60s and 70s.Temperatures in the 70s and 80s are expected in the Plains and Southeast, while the Northeast will likely get temperatures in the 50s and 60s.Temperatures in the lower 48 states Friday ranged from a low of 24 degrees at Stanley, Idaho, to a high of 106 degrees at Death Valley, Calif.

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, as the light of seven days, in the day that the LORD bindeth up the breach of his people, 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, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened (Daylight hours shortened)
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.

April sets European heat records By Jeremy Lovell
Sat Apr 28, 1:14 PM ET

LONDON (Reuters) - This month is set to be the warmest April in Britain since records began nearly 350 years ago and all over Europe tourists are slapping on the sun cream several weeks ahead of schedule. Britain's Met Office said the average temperature in central England from April 1-25 was 11.1 degrees Celsius, 3.4 degrees above the norm and the highest since records began in 1659.

Temperatures from Belgium to Italy are averaging more than three degrees above the 30-year norm.The office added there was a big chance of a repeat of the European heat wave of 2003 which killed some 35,000 people and which scientists attributed to global warming.As the spring rain stayed away, sidewalk cafes and outdoor leisure parks across Europe reported booming business but grain crops are showing signs of drought stress.In the Netherlands, the KNMI weather institute said this month had already broken records as the warmest, driest and sunniest April and noted global warming was one of the reasons.

The Netherlands has not had rain since March 22 and April is set to be the driest in at least 100 years. Farmers have started pumping water from canals and rivers to irrigate their crops.Germany has also recorded the highest April average temperature at 12 degrees, and the most hours of sunshine at more than 276, since records began in 1901, according to preliminary estimates by the German Weather Service (DWD).The lack of rainfall prompted several German states to issue warnings about the risk of forest fires which have hit neighbors Switzerland and Austria.Drought has hit Hungary's key grain regions and may severely reduce grain and oilseed crops, leading trading firm Agrograin said. In mid-April the average temperature was 5-6 degrees Celsius higher than usual, said meteorologist Gyorgy Gyuro.

Italy's river Po, which waters the region accounting for one-third of the country's agricultural production, fell on Sunday to 6.53 meters (21 ft 5 in) below its normal level at one control point, having fallen 80 centimeters in a week.Britain's Met Office said there was a one in eight chance of temperatures in the three summer months July, August and September repeating the 2003 and 2006 heat waves.

In meteorological terms that is really quite a high probability, a spokesman said.
On Friday, Britain's Department of the Environment warned of summer smog at the weekend with high ozone levels endangering the ill and elderly. But in contrast to 2006, Britain was at least not facing a drought after a mild and very wet winter.In Germany, one newspaper said soaring temperatures could inflame libidos.Skirts are getting shorter and there is more bare flesh flashing, Germany's biggest selling newspaper, Bild, wrote, warning Germans to keep a close eye on their partners.The heat excites the sex hormones much more strongly, disturbs the sleep and stimulates lust.(Additional reporting by Reuters' European bureaus)

Chavez touts new air-defense system By JORGE RUEDA, Associated Press Writer Fri Apr 27, 7:19 PM ET

CARACAS, Venezuela - President Hugo Chavez said Friday his government was planning to develop an advanced air-defense system and purchase other arms that would make Venezuela impregnable to attack.

The leftist leader, who has repeatedly accused the United States of planning to invade his oil-rich nation, said Venezuela had test fired missiles on Thursday but it was not clear what kind of projectiles he was referring to.We're going to have a tremendous air-defense system, and with missiles capable of reaching 200 kilometers (124 miles), Chavez said during a televised speech. (It) will convert Venezuela into a nation truly invulnerable to any external threat, invulnerable to any plan of aggression.Chavez denied Venezuela was engaged in an arms buildup or posed a threat to regional stability as Washington has suggested, saying Venezuela was simply modernizing its military after years of neglect.They are necessary investments. We're not going to attack anybody, he said at the speech at a military academy in Caracas.Chavez also announced spending of more than US$561 million (euro411 million) for factories to build automatic AK-103 assault rifles, munitions, and detonators; a facility to train pilots to fly Russian M-17, M-26 and M-35 helicopters, and another facility to overhaul F-5 fighter jets.Venezuela was considering building a plant to maintain Russian helicopters, he added.The government has also approved funds to set up bases in preparation for the launch of Venezuela's Simon Bolivar satellite in Aug. 2008, Chavez said.Chavez has mentioned some of the plans before but had provided few details.

He first mentioned installing an air-defense system with missiles capable of shooting down approaching enemy warplanes following a world tour last August, saying his military was looking at systems produced by Russia, Belarus and Iran. He did not specify Friday if Venezuela planned to purchase or develop its own system.The (U.S.) empire doesn't want use to be independent or to have the technology or to be able to develop, he said.Washington has repeatedly denied it plans to invade Venezuela.

Saudi militant plot mirrored 9/11 attack By ABDULLAH SHIHRI and MAGGIE MICHAEL, Associated Press Writers APR 28,07

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia - Some of the militants arrested in a terror sweep in Saudi Arabia trained to use civilian aircraft in suicide missions, an official said Saturday, detailing a plot mirroring the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States. Maj. Gen. Mansour al-Turki, the Interior Ministry spokesman, said the group of 172 Islamic extremists are carriers of al-Qaida ideology, working on achieving al-Qaida
goals, which is to take over the society.Saudi Arabia announced Friday that one of the largest terror sweeps to date in the kingdom had stopped plans to mount air attacks on the kingdom's oil refineries, break militants out of prison and send suicide attackers to kill government officials. Al-Turki said that some of those arrested had trained abroad as pilots.They were trained on civilian aircraft, to use the aircraft as a tool to carry out suicide operations, al-Turki told The Associated Press.

His comments marked a rare mention of al-Qaida by Saudi officials, who customarily refer to the organization as a deviant group. It was also the first confirmation that those arrested planned suicide missions similar to those in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.Al-Turki said the militants had trained in a troubled country that, could be Iraq, Somalia, Pakistan, there are so many troubled regions in the world.

I can't specify.U.S. officials have warned that Iraq could become a regional base for extremists planning attacks elsewhere in the Middle East.A top cleric and religious adviser to the Interior Ministry, Sheik Majed al-Marsal, told al-Watan, an independent Saudi newspaper, that Iraq had become a base for terrorist groups. He did not refer specifically to the newly unveiled plot.

Those groups exploited the deteriorating situation in Iraq to receive those young men, to equip them and train them and then send them back to work inside (other countries), just like what happened in Afghanistan before, the cleric was quoted as saying.Interior Minister Prince Naif Bin Abdulaziz said in a statement published Saturday in the Al-Riyadh newspaper efforts are under way to purify the country from the deviant groups and that more details of the sweep would emerge soon.God willing, the members of the deviant group will never realize their evil goals, he said.Saudi leaders began cracking down on religious extremists four years ago after militants attacked foreigners and others involved in the country's oil industry, seeking to topple the monarchy for its alliance with the U.S.Al-Turki told the AP that the militants planned to use the planes like car bombs ...

to use the aircraft as a tool to carry out suicide operations. He said the targets also included Saudi military bases, which he said the militants had no other way of reaching but through these means of blowing up an aircraft.The militants were organized into seven cells and planned to stage suicide attacks on public figures, oil facilities, refineries and military zones, including some outside the kingdom, the interior ministry has said. It did not identify any of the targets.Documents and confessions from the detained uncovered that they were targeting public figures, including officials, ministers, policemen, directors of vital sectors, al-Turki said Saturday.He said al-Qaida's target is, the ruling system, whenever they are.

Saudi Arabia's long alliance with the United States has angered Saudi extremists such as al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden a Saudi exile who object to Western ways.An austere strain of Islam known as Wahhabism is followed by the country's predominantly Sunni Muslim population, and militant groups have attracted recruits from Saudis with extremist leanings. Fifteen of the 19 airline hijackers in the Sept. 11 attacks were from here. The Saudi ruling family has pursued an aggressive campaign against militants over the past four years, and its security forces have managed to kill or capture most of those on its list of most-wanted al-Qaida loyalists in the country. Abdullah Shihri reported from Riyadh and Maggie Michael from Cairo, Egypt.

IN THE FUTURE THERE WILL BE 2 DIFFERENT TIMES BIRDS EAT THE FLESH OF ARMIES THAT COME AGAINST ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM.

THE 1ST IS GOD FEEDS THE RUSSIA /MUSLIM HORDE TO THE BIRDS IN THE SPRING OF THE YEAR I BELIEVE.

EZEKIEL 39:12-22
12 And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14 And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15 And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16 And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17 And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18 Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19 And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20 Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21 And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22 So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.

AND THE 2ND TIME GOD GIVES THE BIRDS A FEAST ON ARMY MEN IS IN THE FALL OF THE YEAR I BELIEVE WHEN ALL NATIONS COME AGAINST ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM. THERES ONLY 2 TIMES OF YEAR IN ISRAEL THAT THE BIRDS MIGRATE SPRING AND FALL AND AS PROPHECY GETS FULFILLED IN THE FUTURE BOTH MIGRATIONS GET A FILL OF BODIES THAT COME AGAINST ISRAEL AND JERUSALEM.

REVELATION 19:11-18
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God;
18 That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.

LUKE 17:34-37
34 I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.
35 Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
36 Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
37 And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord? And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.(Christians have new bodies,this is the people against Jerusalem during the 7 yr treaty)(Christians bodies are not being eaten by the birds).

Migrating birds darken weather radar
Northward moving flocks so dense they look like showers
Tom Spears, Ottawa Citizen; CanWest News Service - Saturday, April 28, 2007

OTTAWA - Birds are on the move north toward Canada, and this week the flocks have been so dense they're showing up on American weather radar stations as if they were rain showers.Blue blotches the colour used to show light rain have begun to dot weather radar maps from the Mississippi Valley east to the Atlantic as the radar picks up water in the birds' bodies.Many songbirds weigh only a few dozen grams, but when they travel in the millions, the radar thinks it's seeing rain.

The phenomenon happens at night, since small birds migrate after dark to avoid hawks.The radar picture accompanying this story shows the U.S. at 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday of this week. Each dark splotch is centred on one radar station. They're roughly round because each radar is able to see birds only within a limited distance. But there are also birds flying between the splotches.

I suspect what we're seeing here is a huge proportion of the bird life of the boreal forest coming home. Millions and millions of them, said Ottawa naturalist Dan Brunton.At this time of year, depending on weather, you're getting big buildups. It's like the start of the Boston Marathon. They wait for the best possible weather (a tailwind) and then they go.The migrant birds are largely small birds that live mainly in forests warblers, vireos and swallows.Most of North America is coming
across in the next 10 days, he said. Tens of millions are coming north right now.The birds show up every year on weather radars, said John W. Nielsen-Gammon, the state climatologist for Texas and a professor at Texas A and M University.

Migration is more concentrated in time in the spring than the fall, so it shows up best in the springtime, he said. Radars send out electromagnetic radiation, which is scattered back to the radar by a variety of things, including liquid water. And larger droplets of water give a much stronger return than small ones. A considerable portion of birds being water, they produce a very strong return signal for radar.It doesn't even take a densely packed flock just a fairly steady pattern of airborne bird traffic.The Edmonton Journal 2007
