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:

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.

Evacuated twice, Alberta fire means mom won't see son married in Jamaica-[The Canadian Press]-May 22, 2016-yahoonews
GRANDE CACHE, Alta. - First the fire destroyed Kimberly Parson's home in Fort McMurray, Alta. and then she had to flee from an oilsands site where she worked, but the topper for the Newfoundland woman is that she can't attend her eldest son's wedding in Jamaica without her passport.The passport was one of the few belongings she had when she left her basement apartment in Fort McMurray earlier this month.Parsons says after that, she had to return to work with a company that supplies coveralls for the oil industry and she left the passport in a room in the Noralta Bighorn Lodge work camp.When the fire got too close and the site where she was working was evacuated, no one was allowed to return to the camp.Evacuation orders for many oilsands sites were lifted late Friday, but Parsons is now staying with her brother in Grande Cache and can't get back to the camp for her passport.Parsons says she's already cancelled her ticket for Jamaica anyway, and will have to make do with pictures of the wedding, which is scheduled for Tuesday in Montego Bay."We're all supposed to be in Jamaica but it's not working out like that," Parsons said on Saturday. "It's just got me killed that I can't be there."Her younger son, who owned the home where she lived in Fort McMurray, also cancelled his ticket and is staying with her in Grande Cache.The family, which hails from Wesleyville, NL, talked about postponing the wedding due to the stress of that everyone is under, but Parsons said she thought the ceremony should go ahead.Her older son's home in downtown Fort McMurray was spared, but he and his fiancee spent over $7,000 dollars in reservations to fly to Jamaica with their two sons."I told them if they want to go and get married to do it, this is their day."Parsons is upset she and other workers got called back to work so soon after the Fort McMurray evacuation and while the area was still in danger. The stress has added up, she said, but at least everyone is alive and safe."It's just so much to deal with, I don't know."
Fire risk map shows blue (low) in Alberta, red (high) for Sask.-[CBC]-May 21, 2016-yahoonews
The latest information from Natural Resources Canada shows a big change in the risk for wildfire: Alberta goes blue and Saskatchewan has a lot of red.The data is compiled and presented as part of the federal ministry's Canadian Wildland Fire Information System.While the risk for wildfire has fallen in Alberta, crews are still battling a fire dubbed "the beast," which has forced thousands of people to flee their homes. The fire, in the Fort McMurray area, sits at 504,443 hectares — seven times the size of Edmonton. This includes 741 hectares in Saskatchewan. Plans are underway to have some evacuees return home as early as Wednesday.People in Saskatchewan have been watching the fire with interest, especially in recent days when the burning extended into the northwest corner of the province.When that happened on the evening of May 18, Saskatchewan officials said helicopters and crews were on the scene in addition to providing assistance on the eastern flank of the Fort McMurray fire.Saskatchewan crews have also been tending to other fires and monitoring potential trouble spots across the province.-Rain makes a difference-Much depends on the weather."Rain will have to be a factor," Steve Roberts, from the province's environment ministry, said in the latest briefing on the fire situation. "There is likely not enough resources available to put out a fire of such a large size if weather does not co-operate."Officials noted that while the Alberta fire has been unpredictable, the Saskatchewan community of La Loche is not in as much danger as it was last year, because it is beside a lake and there is lots of previously burned forest nearby, limiting fuel for a wildfire.Smoke from the fire has also been affecting life in Saskatchewan with Environment Canada having issued a number of cautionary statements about air quality in recent days.On Friday, Saskatchewan's wildfire management branch noted that easterly winds were expected to develop, which will help move smoke away from Saskatchewan.The latest forecast from Environment Canada says there is a 30 to 40 per cent chance of rain for areas of northwest Saskatchewan on Monday night.
Donations still needed for Fort McMurray evacuees-[CBC]-May 21, 2016-yahoonews
Melita Ellsworth thanks God for the man who rammed the Abasand gate."All I could think of was 'We've got to get out.' Thankfully somebody rammed the security gate of what used to be an old emergency gate out of Abasands, and that's how we got out," Ellsworth said."I'm afraid to think of what would've happened because the traffic leaving our little community was so gridlocked."By the time we got to the bottom of the hill, our entire neighbourhood was fully engulfed."Now, two weeks removed from fire, Ellsworth is thanking God for the people helping her get through this difficult time."I'm blown away by how giving people are. They don't know us, most have no clue exactly what we are feeling but to be able to walk into a place and you think 'I need a pair of shoes, I left in flip-flops,'" she explained."It's been amazing, no words can express."Ellsworth lost her home in the blaze and wasn't able to bring much with her so she has nothing right now.On Saturday, she found herself in the parking lot of the Parkland Church in Spruce Grove receiving daily necessities to help her get by.The event was just one of many going on in Alberta this weekend to help the Fort McMurray evacuees.This one was put on by Reach Beyond, a charity that came all the way from Toronto to help evacuees. The turn out was so much that the charity eventually ran out of the grocery cards they were giving out.Organizer Peter Campbell said they didn't expect this many people."On a cold, wet day there is obviously a lot of people that are still in need and we're just happy to help," Campbell said.But, he added, getting so many evacuees in one place does have its benefits."There was a comment from somebody that said 'This is great because I got to see so many friends from Fort McMurray that I haven't seen for so long,' that was wonderful to hear," said Campbell.-Going home-After weeks of not knowing the evacuees finally have a timeline of when they can go home.Not all evacuees will be able to return as soon as possible.Ellsworth, because of health issues, thinks it will be some time before she makes her way north. She says that uncertainty makes the situation that much harder."For some it won't be until July that we go home, so every little bit helps. It might be an encouraging word, it might be a can of soup, it could even be a roll of paper towel," said Ellsworth."All of that is a blessing to us and a lot of people don't realize how much that means to us."
Saturday forest fires keep N.L. water bombers busy-[CBC]-May 22, 2016-yahoonews
A pair of forest fires in central and southeast parts of Newfoundland had water bombers scrambling on Saturday.The first fire broke out near Fairhaven on the island's southeast coast.Members of the Norman's Cove, Bellevue and Fairhaven fire departments were on scene for a period of time to assist in clearing traffic.According to emergency response chief Gary Rideout, the fire was caused as a result of a broken hydro line. In the central region of the island, a forest fire was spotted about six kilometres south of Grand Falls-Windsor.Fire chief Vince MacKenzie said a water bomber made several drops before sunset on Saturday and, at last word, the fire was moving away from the town.MacKenzie warned people in the area of Nugent's Pond to be aware of the nearby fire and "plan for safety."
