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:

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.

A.M. Best Briefing: Alberta Wildfires May Be Costliest Catastrophe Ever for Canadian Property/Casualty Industry-may 9,16
OLDWICK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--An enormous raging wildfire near the Northern Canadian city of Fort McMurray, Alberta has damaged or destroyed more than 1,600 homes and structures and is threatening 19,000 more. The blaze has engulfed entire neighborhoods, business districts and has burned more than 18,500 acres. Mass evacuations continue, and a state of emergency has been declared for the entire province of Alberta, according to a new A.M. Best briefing. “Alberta Wildfires May Be Costliest Catastrophe Ever for Canadian Property/Casualty Industry”The Best’s Briefing, titled, “Alberta Wildfires May Be Costliest Catastrophe Ever for Canadian Property/Casualty Industry,” states that the operational impact of this event on the insurance industry will be vast, and associated businesses such as disaster restoration companies may be expected to assist in mitigating damages where possible.From an insurance coverage perspective, homeowners’ policies generally provide for the structure, the contents and living expenses that are incurred during dislocation. Although automobile policies generally provide physical damage coverage for fire losses under comprehensive coverage, this coverage is optional. Businesses, in addition to coverage for structures, may also have business interruption protection, which would offset lost sales or earnings. While it is still early, this event will likely have significantly more losses than the Slave Lake Fire in May 2011, also in Alberta, which had insured losses of more than CAD 700 million. The Fort McMurray Fire is much larger geographically, and has already burned more structures and is impacting an area where average home values are much greater than those affected by the Slave Lake Fire.This event has the potential to be the costliest catastrophe ever to impact the Canadian property/casualty market, possibly exceeding the nearly CAD 1.9 billion in losses generated by the January 1998 ice storm in Quebec and the 2013 flooding in Southern Alberta. While the losses from this fire will be substantial, many of the top homeowners’ and automobile writers in Alberta have diverse national geographical and product profiles, and possess strong risk-adjusted capitalization, comprehensive reinsurance programs and solid overall risk management capabilities.A.M. Best will continue to monitor the financial impacts on rated entities of this fluid situation and will provide updates on ratings as warranted.A.M.

Smoke biggest concern as Alberta wildfires creep toward Saskatchewan-[CBC]-May 8, 2016-YAHOONEWS
Saskatchewan fire officials provided some good news for the province on Sunday, saying the wildfires in Alberta have not made it over the border this weekend.However, active fires in the province, smoke from Alberta, and the hot and dry weather continues to be worrisome.Officials say there are 12 wildfires currently burning in Saskatchewan, and all but two of them are considered contained.Duane McKay, provincial fire commissioner, said no communities or critical infrastructure is currently threatened by wildfires in Saskatchewan."We are not seeing significant incidents here in the province as we do in our neighbours to the west," he said. "However, we are building contingencies to respond to any events that might occur."Alberta fires move east-There are two significant fires burning in northern Alberta, close to Fort McMurray, that were expected to creep towards the Saskatchewan border. Officials said the two fires have not converged and that they "didn't move a great deal yesterday," thanks to some cooler weather.The fires are estimated to be about 15-30 kilometres from the Saskatchewan border.Even if the fires do reach the border, McKay said they will still be about 60 to 70 kilometres away from threatening any settlements. La Loche and Buffalo Narrows in northwest Saskatchewan are the closest communities at this time."Our biggest concern is smoke and how that will impact communities and individuals."-Air quality warnings-In the past two days, Environment Canada has sent out numerous warnings to several communities about poor air quality and reduced visibility in northwestern Saskatchewan. La Loche and Buffalo Narrows are most affected by smoke and ash.McKay said more than 100 municipalities have issued fire bans in the southern portion of the province, and that is helping contain accidental grass fires that can cost fire services time and resources."A couple of days ago, we were averaging 75 to 80 calls per day. These are calls that required a response from a municipal or First Nations fire department to handle immediate threats due to wildfire."McKay said the number of calls dropped to eight on Saturday."We are seeing vigilance and the cooperation of people right across this province to reduce those risks by, quite frankly, being very careful around fire."-High alert still in place-Saskatchewan has experienced an extremely warm spring, record high temperatures for the season and a lack of rain that has left both grasslands in the south and forested areas in the north tinder dry.While things appear to be slowing down this weekend, Steve Roberts, executive director of wildfire management, said the service remains on high alert.Roberts said temperatures above 20 C, moderate winds, very little rain and a chance of some lightning are all concerns throughout the province."We would expect these fires to continue to grow," he said. "It will be the rate that they grow and the ability to control their advance over the next couple of days that will determine if or when they would come into Saskatchewan."There have been 124 wildfires so far this year in Saskatchewan.Get breaking news alerts on this story and others.

Calgary schools roughly 75% full with wildfire evacuees, mass lodging could be next-[CBC]-May 8, 2016-YAHOONEWS
As Fort McMurray wildfire evacuees continue to arrive in Calgary, dorm room accommodations at four Calgary schools are filling up fast but emergency officials say, we will take and settle all who come."Our home is your home," Calgary mayor Naheed Nenshi said at the University of Calgary reception centre Sunday afternoon."It is our honour, it is our pride to be able to look after you while you are here. I know this is a really difficult time, but know that you have an entire community looking after you."He said there are lots of free things to do in Calgary for people with Fort McMurray identification.Pools, leisure centres, the Calgary Zoo and the Telus Spark Centre are all no charge "for the foreseeable future," he said.Calgary Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) chief Tom Sampson said the total number of evacuees in Calgary schools is "approaching 1,500," but the city is able to take many more.The University of Calgary has made additional rooms available bringing the total spaces available in dorm rooms at four schools to 2,000."We will attempt to accommodate the number of people that come to Calgary and I saw that carefully," Sampson said."If we were hit with a total of 3,000 people, we would make it work. It wouldn't be in the kind of facilities you are seeing here now, we would have to move to mass lodging. We have been in touch with the Stampede board and they are prepared for that. We have the beds and stretchers if we need to."Mass lodging is where cots are set up in a facility like the Saddledome or a gymnasium."That is not optimal circumstances, you are sleeping with 100 of your best friends in the same room and that is a challenge," he acknowledged.Sampson noted that the number of Fort McMurray residents in Calgary staying at schools could a fraction of the total number."In a classic evacuation, only about five per cent of the population actually goes to a shelter, we understand that this might be a slighter higher case, but that gives you a bit of a sample of how many people might be in Calgary."Nenshi urged evacuees to register with the Canadian Red Cross to help the organization manage communications and numbers. That can be done online or by phone at 1-888-350-6070.He also hopes Calgarians will review their emergency preparedness plan, just to be proactive.
