IDONESIA VOLCANO-EARTHQUAKES-FREEZING COLD DELAYS

KING JESUS IS COMING FOR US ANY TIME NOW. THE RAPTURE. BE PREPARED TO GO.

STORMS HURRICANES-TORNADOES

LUKE 21:25-26
25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; 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
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.

Pearson airport weather delays spill into 2nd day

Airport to hold staff 'debrief' to examine what went wrong as weather left passengers in limbo

CBC News Posted: Jan 08, 2014 6:34 AM ET Last Updated: Jan 08, 2014 11:19 AM ET
An official at Toronto's Pearson International Airport says staff will have a "debrief" to see what could have been done to mitigate yesterday's extensive delays that left passengers waiting for hours on planes and at luggage carousels.Toby Lennox, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority's vice-president of marketing and stakeholder relations, spoke about the delays on CBC's Metro Morning on Wednesday, as travellers face more turmoil at the airport related to the extremely cold weather.Lennox told host Matt Galloway that GTAA staff will examine what improvements can be made."I've listened to the comments of travellers and I really do feel for them."Thousands of passengers arriving Tuesday morning waited hours — in some cases as many as five hours — for their planes to reach the gate, then hours more to claim their luggage. Some left the airport without their bags while unclaimed luggage covered the floor in some arrival areas.The problem caused airport officials to issue a ground stop order early Tuesday to help deal with the backlog in processing arriving flights. The order prevents new flights from arriving. The ground stop was lifted just after 10 a.m.
The delays happened after overnight temperatures hit –25 C. Lennox said the cold weather caused equipment to ice up. It also meant more flights were diverted to Pearson, leaving the airport "overwhelmed" by incoming flights.Passengers who spoke to CBC repeatedly complained about a lack of information updates. Another common complaint was a lack of staff on the ground to help answer questions about connecting flights and baggage.Lennox said he expects communication will be a focus of the debrief.
"We could have done a better job with respect to the communications to passengers," he said. "It's an enormously complicated situation. There were far more arrivals then we could handle at the time due to the extreme weather."Everything started to slow down and ice up more than we expected."

More delays expected

Galloway asked Lennox if the airlines considered unloading passengers from the planes onto buses to get them into the terminal quickly. He said the airlines opted not to do this because it can be a slow and unpleasant process in cold, windy weather."The air carriers decided to leave the passengers where they are safe and warm," he said.Wednesday won't be a normal travel day due to fallout from yesterday's extensive delays and cancellations caused by freezing temperatures.As thousands of people are still trying to re-book flights, the airport authority issued a message on Twitter just after 5:30 a.m. Wednesday, warning passengers there could be a "slow startup" on Wednesday.Morning start up will be slow this morning, but airfield is operational - pls check your flight status with your airline.— Toronto Pearson (@TorontoPearson) January 8, 2014
As of 6 a.m. ET, the GTAA website reported that about 400 flights operating out of Pearson had been cancelled. About 20 per cent of scheduled departures had also been cancelled.

Passengers turn to ground transportation

On Tuesday evening, some passengers unable to book new flights were arranging ground transportation to other airports, where they have a better chance of catching a flight."We are thinking of renting a car and driving back to Halifax," frustrated passenger Fernando Salazar told CBC News. "We can't get a flight until Friday."Photos showed unclaimed passenger luggage clogging up floor space near carousels.One man who spoke to CBC News found his bag among the thousands piled on the floor."I decided to take one last look. I got lucky," he said. "Someone could easily have nabbed it."Passengers are encouraged to check their flight status before heading to the airport.


Voices from the vortex: Polar temps have us asking, ‘Is this Antarctica?’

No, it's America, but you could've fooled us


Monday morning, the mercury in southern Mississippi flopped to a frosty 19 degrees. In northeast Montana, the temperature plummeted to minus 26. Residents in cities along the Great Lakes woke to subzero temperatures with wind chills much worse.Americans across large stretches of the country greeted the first Monday of the new year with far-below-average readouts on their weather gadgets of choice.“Average sounds pretty good right about now,” says Jason Schaver, of Clinton, Iowa, where temperatures tumbled to 17 below zero — 40 below if you count wind chill. It's all caused by what meteorologists are dubbing a "polar vortex," or a massive southbound weather system.Yahoo News asked residents in some of the more frigid areas to share their cold-snap experiences. Below are lightly edited excerpts from stories they submitted today.

CHICAGO — Snow has fallen in the city over the past week and, on Sunday, we got another three and a half inches on top of the previous accumulations. Even before the negative highs came around today, the temperature was only 3 degrees when my daughter and I had to hunt for a parking spot in the snow and walk several blocks back to our apartment Sunday night.Even bundled in cold weather attire, my daughter cried the entire way inside. By the time we were in the warmth of our home, my fingertips and toes felt like they had been smashed in a door. Even this morning they are still sore from the exposure to the cold.
Traveling side streets in Chicago during this weather is risky. Many of the streets haven't been plowed. I saw many cars getting stuck in snowdrifts on the streets in the Lakeview neighborhood, an added danger in these temperatures.Those living in and around the city can now say they have experienced Chicago's lowest temperature on record Monday morning. The minus 17 reading surpassed the 1988 record of minus 14. This is far from Chicago's average January high of 32 and low of 18 degrees. The dangerous arctic blast has closed down the Chicago Public Schools, and has put a health warning in effect to keep people indoors.
Chicago O'Hare International Airport has canceled more than 1,000 flights as of 7:30 a.m. due to deicing problems.— Janoa Taylor

Is this Antarctica? No, it's Iowa
CLINTON, Iowa — The first thing I heard this morning when my alarm went off was the sound of the weatherman saying it was minus 17. Then he followed that by saying it was minus 40 with the wind chill. He then advised us that when the wind chill is that low, exposed skin can easily get frostbite in just five minutes.
My hometown hasn't seen temperatures like this since, well, 2009, according to the Clinton Herald. That day was Jan. 15, when the temp was minus 24.I had a feeling that my normally reliable 2004 Chevy Cavalier wouldn't want to start today. And it didn't. So I had to call off work.It was so cold out that even our dog, Wilfred, wanted no part of going outside this morning. He's a 12-year-old Bernese mountain dog mix. This breed of dog can endure pretty much any weather. That he didn't want to be outside for more than a few minutes was enough proof for me that it was going to be a horrible day in the River Cities.Last week we got snow four out of five days. This week we have arctic recording-breaking temps. Average temps for this time of year are in the upper 20s.Average sounds pretty good right about now.— Jason Schaver

Uncharacteristically cold weather stuns southern Arkansas
TEXARKANA, Ark. — Wearing shorts and short-sleeved shirts during winter months is one of the perks of living in the South, particularly in Texarkana. On Monday, Arkansas truly tasted winter weather. The temperature this morning was 16, rising to around 19 by 10 a.m.I’m the father of three young boys, and I bundled them up this morning not unlike Ralphie's little brother in “A Christmas Story.” Usually a jacket and possibly some mittens are in order because the weather takes a turn for the warmer in the afternoon. However, the cruel temperatures made me perhaps a bit overcautious. After dressing the boys in their regular school clothes, we added two sweatshirts, scarves, gloves, toboggans and puffy coats with hoods. Somewhere in there, my children were warm and safe.Other parents dropped kids off who looked like walking Milk Duds as they waddled to their classrooms, where I imagine they began the tedious task of unwrapping themselves from their precautionary wardrobes.The forecast here shows our highs hitting 64 by Friday. Now that's the southern Arkansas weather we know and love.— Josh Jones

PHILADELPHIA — Roller coaster temperatures have provided the area plenty of headaches over the past week with more up-and-down temps to come. The weather has been frightful for eastern Pennsylvania, and temperatures are expected again to plunge into the deep freeze. We're expecting a high of 14 degrees for Tuesday.Additional precipitation struck the area on Sunday morning, and with temperatures hovering at the freezing mark, it caused area roadways to turn into virtual ice skating rinks into Monday. Driving conditions were treacherous as temperatures remained at the freezing mark for much of the morning.The temperatures continued to seesaw into Monday, as a warm front moved into the area Sunday night. Although highs on Monday were in the 40s, the front also brought a heavy dousing of rain. With temperatures expected to quickly plunge into the single digits by nightfall, it looks like area roads will be back to their ice-skating conditions by Tuesday morning.— John Focht

Wisconsin's severe cold hits pocketbook hard
MILWAUKEE, Wis. — The temperatures here are minus 11, combined with wind chills that make it feel like 35 below zero.The freeze has forced kids home from school. I'm home from work with my kids, unable to earn money, and we're in the house with layers of clothing on. And the heat is running nonstop, costing plenty every minute.I don't remember school being canceled due to severe cold temperatures since my 22-year-old was in elementary school. There is talk of school closings again for Tuesday, which will land me right here at home with my kids, playing cards, baking cookies, watching movies or perhaps doing artwork. The time with my kids is great; however, the time off work without pay? Not so much.Local grocery stores like Pick ‘n Save, Piggly Wiggly, and Aldi are closing Monday, at least for half of the day, and likely Tuesday as well, with dangerous temperatures looking to top off at 5 degrees, as wind chills are expected to plummet to minus 40.We all like time off, but the cost of heating the house during severely cold weather is enormous. One month takes up a third of my wages during these cold snaps. So, unfortunately, the time off is bittersweet. Time off combined with large heating bills? Not fun.— Lyn Vaccaro

Sun Unleashes 1st Major Solar Flare of 2014

Update for 9:30 a.m. ET: Tuesday's massive solar flare has forced the commercial spaceflight company Orbital Sciences to postpone the planned launch of a private cargo mission to the International Space Station today. Read the full story here: Huge Solar Flare Delays Private Rocket Launch to Space Station
A massive solar flare erupted from the sun on Tuesday (Jan. 7), rising up from what appears to be one of the largest sunspot groups seen on the star's surface in a decade, NASA officials say.NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a video of the huge solar flare as it developed, showing it as an intense burst of radiation from a colossal sunspot region known as AR1944. The sunspot group — which is currently in the middle of the sun as viewed from Earth — is "one of the largest sunspots seen in the last 10 years," NASA officials wrote in a statement. It is as wide as seven Earths, they added.Tuesday's big flare was an X1.2-class solar event on the scale used to classify sun storms. It occurred at 1:32 p.m. EST (1832 GMT) and came just hours after an M7.2-class flare. Space weather officials at the the Space Weather Prediction Center overseen by NOAA are expecting the flare to spark geomagnetic storms in Earth's magnetic field when a wave of super-hot solar plasma associated with the flare - known as a coronal mass ejection - reaches Earth in the next few days. [Photos: The Biggest Solar Flares of 2014]-"This is the first significant flare of 2014, and follows on the heels of mid-level flare earlier in the day," NASA spokeswoman Karen Fox of the agency's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., wrote in a statement. "Each flare was centered over a different area of a large sunspot group currently situated at the center of the sun, about half way through its 14-day journey across the front of the disk along with the rotation of the sun."
This labeled image taken by SDO's Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager shows the location of two active regions on the sun, labeled AR1944 and AR1943, which straddle a giant sunspot complex. A Jan. 7, 2014, X1.2-class flare emanated from an area closer to AR1

X-class solar flares are the most powerful solar storms on the sun. Mid-level storms are dubbed M-class events and can supercharge Earth's northern lights displays, with weaker C-class flares rounding out the top three.When aimed directly at Earth, the strongest X-class solar flares can pose a risk to astronauts in orbit and interrupt communications and navigation satellite operations. Tuesday's solar flare did force the commercial spaceflight company Orbital Sciences to delay the launch of its first Cygnus cargo mission to the International Space Station from NASA's Wallops Flight Facility on Wallops Island, Va.NASA officials told SPACE.com today that the crew of the International Space Station will not have to take measures to shelter themselves from the solar flare's radiation effects. There are currently six astronauts living on the station as part of the outpost's Expedition 38 crew. The team includes three Russian cosmonauts, two NASA astronauts and one Japanese astronaut.The sun is currently in an active phase of its 11-year solar cycle. The current cycle, called Solar Cycle 24, began in 2008. Editor's Note: This story was updated at 9:26 a.m. EST to include new details about the effects of the solar flare for astronauts on the International Space Station and its delay of an Orbital Sciences Cygnus cargo mission to the station from Wallops Island, Va.

EARTH DESTROYED WITH THE EARTH(BECAUSE OF SIN AND GODLESS PEOPLE)

GENESIS 6:11-13
11 The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.(WORLD TERRORISM,MURDERS)(HAMAS IN HEBREW IS VIOLENCE)
12 And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted his way upon the earth.
13 And God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence (TERRORISM)(HAMAS) through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth.

HOSEA 4:1-3
1 Hear the word of the LORD, ye children of Israel: for the LORD hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.
2 By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood.
3 Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the fishes of the sea also shall be taken away. 

Temporary Camps Struggle To Deal With Thousands Fleeing Indonesian Volcano (+Photos)

Indonesia's Sinabung volcano continued to spew clouds of hot gas on Wednesday (January 8).

The frequent eruptions have triggered a wave of evacuees with tens of thousands displaced from their homes.
The clouds of hot gas have travelled as far as 4.5 kilometers from the crater and are approaching residential areas, according to recent data from the Centre for Vulcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG).More than 22,000 people have fled their homes and are being housed in 33 temporary shelters, the National Disaster Management Agency said.Daud Bangun and his family are among around 1,000 villagers living in a hall provided by the local government.Bangun said the temporary shelter was struggling to provide for peoples' needs."We need more clean water. Actually we want some more goods for our daily needs as we have been in this shelter for too long," he said.People from about 25 villages that surround the volcano have been evacuated to the shelters.Many are reliant on soup kitchens for food."We hope that the government and benefactors continue to take notice so we don't lack food supplies," said evacuee Misni Nurhayati at the soup kitchen which is attached to one of the temporary shelters.The 2,460 meter-high volcano in north Sumatra province has been active since 2010 after lying dormant for four centuries. It began erupting periodically in September last year.Thousands of hectares of farming land have been affected by the eruption, the National Disaster Management Agency said.Sinabung is one of nearly 130 active volcanoes in the country, which straddles the "Pacific Ring of Fire".The most deadly eruption in recent years was of mount Merapi in 2010 near the densely populated city of Yogyakarta in central Java. More than 350 people were killed.
