OZONE DEPLETION JUDGEMENT ON THE EARTH DUE TO SIN
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:
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.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
REVELATION 8:7
7 The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.

Officials say it could take months to extinguish massive Alberta blaze-[The Canadian Press]-John Cotter, The Canadian Press-May 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS
FORT MCMURRAY, Alta. - Fire officials are bracing themselves for a long, long fight against the blaze that forced the evacuation of Fort McMurray and has eaten up more than 1,500 square kilometres of northern Alberta forest."Unless we have a significant rain event of 100 millimetres of rain, we expect to be out fighting the fire in the forested area for months to come," Chad Morrison with Alberta Wildfires told a media briefing Saturday afternoon."That's not uncommon with such large fires."As for the city of Fort McMurray, he said he expected they would get a good handle on the situation "over the next coming month or two."There still is no timeline for any of the 80,000 evacuated residents to be allowed back into their homes, but the Alberta government has begun preliminary planning, though it stresses fighting the fire is still the first priority.Premier Rachel Notley said officials expected the fire to possibly double in size on Saturday and reach the boundary with Saskatchewan to the east.The good news was that the fire was burning away from communities. Firefighters continued working to protect the downtown and homes in Fort McMurray and held the line for a second straight day, Notley said.She added the gas supply has been turned off in the city and the power grid has been damaged. Water in the city isn't drinkable and hazardous material will have to be cleaned up to make the community safe."The return won't be in coming days," said the premier. "Once the immediate fire damage is completed there will be an enormous amount of work to do to make the city safe and habitable."RCMP Insp. Kevin Kunetzki said Saturday that during their checks of houses in the city, officers are seeing significant signs of water and smoke damage.Scott Long of the Alberta Emergency Management Agency said that may have been one of the costs of protecting the community.He said firefighters use large, industrial sprinklers to "spray continuous amounts of water on houses to protect them from embers, sparks, etc., from spontaneous combustion, from the heat. So it's quite possible there could be water damage."On top of that, a few days ago water bombers were dropping their loads on some of the houses in the highest-risk neighbourhoods."So a little bit of water damage in the basement is acceptable at this point," Long said.Non-essential personnel at both Syncrude and Suncor oil facilities in the area have been evacuated as a precaution."We do expect the fire to bump again the edge of the south end of the Suncor facility today," said Morrison, but he added the companies' highly trained industrial fire department would remain to protect the facilities."These sites are very resilient to wildfires, largely because they're free and clear of vegetation and trees."Noralta Lodge, an oilsands housing facility where RCMP and firefighters have been staying, was placed on a two-hour evacuation notice."They have a solid evacuation plan in place," said Morrison. "If they're under any kind of a threat there will be a safe, controlled evacuation."Federal Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said firefighters from other provinces were being brought in to relieve those who have been battling what he calls "this beast of a fire" for a week.Eighty firefighters from Ontario have already arrived. Goodale told a news conference in Regina that another 44 are on their way from Quebec and 22 from New Brunswick. Equipment, such as pumps, hoses and tankers, are also coming from other provinces."What we're trying to do, with the co-operation of other provinces and territories, is bring in rotations of other firefighters that can give them a break."
Alberta flies drones to find cause of epic Canadian wildfire-[Reuters]-By Rod Nickel-Reuters-May 7, 2016-YAHOONEWS
LAC LA BICHE, Alberta (Reuters) - Fire-ravaged Alberta will use drones to investigate the cause of a huge blaze that has scorched the Canadian province and displaced some 88,000 people.Elevated Robotic Services, which has also deployed drones for mining and construction companies, has contracts with the Alberta government and insurance broker Hub International Ltd [HBINT.UL], said Mat Matthews, the Edmonton company's operations and safety manager.The drones use cameras outfitted with infrared, ultraviolet and traditional optical cameras to pinpoint the hottest part of the fire and trace it to its source based on time, wind and other factors. The cameras will shoot about 800 images, which are then stitched together in a process called fire-mapping."It's like Google Maps but 100 times better," Matthews said at a police roadblock south of Fort McMurray, Alberta, as smoke from the 156,000-hectare (385,000-acre) fire blackened the sky.The work begins on Tuesday, coordinated with the other air traffic, including air tankers and helicopters.An Alberta government official confirmed it had a contract with Elevated. Hub was not immediately available for comment.The images, if successful, will zero down to a spot on the ground with about a 30-foot (9-meter) radius where the fire is believed to have started. From there, investigators will search on foot for the cause, such as a lightning strike or campfire.The drones that Elevated will use are manufactured by China's DJI and sell for $1,900 to $6,500. They are roughly 1 foot wide by 2 feet across, about the same size as those hobbyists use.Using the more traditional method of gathering images from helicopters, the fire's cause could be narrowed only to half an acre, a much larger area to search on the ground, said Ron Windmueller, owner of Droneology, which supplies equipment and other services to Elevated.Downward wind from helicopter blades can disturb the scene, forcing the pilot to stay about 1,000 feet in the air. A drone can capture images from 100 feet.Even so, drones pose challenges. Because their batteries last only 45 minutes, they will have to land for fresh ones several times for a fire this big, making it more difficult to precisely shoot different parts of the area, Windmueller said.Still, the flying technology could help get answers quickly."If anything," Matthews said, "(the drones) will allow them to determine a cause much faster."(Additional reporting by Matt Scuffham in Toronto; Editing by Lisa Von Ahn)

They are roughly 1 foot wide by 2 feet across, about the same size as those hobbyists use.Using the more traditional method of gathering images from helicopters, the fire's cause could be narrowed only to half an acre, a much larger area to search on the ground, said Ron Windmueller, owner of Droneology, which supplies equipment and other services to Elevated.Downward wind from helicopter blades can disturb the scene, forcing the pilot to stay about 1,000 feet in the air. A drone can capture images from 100 feet.Even so, drones pose challenges. Because their batteries last only 45 minutes, they will have to land for fresh ones several times for a fire this big, making it more difficult to precisely shoot different parts of the area, Windmueller said.Still, the flying technology could help get answers quickly."If anything," Matthews said, "(the drones) will allow them to determine a cause much faster."(Additional reporting by Matt Scuffham in Toronto; Editing by Lisa Von Ahn)
