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.

Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu sent a letter of condolence to President Barack Obama and the American people on Tuesday, following the disastrous Oklahoma tornado."Om behalf of the Government and people of Israel, I offer our heartfelt condolences to you and to the people of the United States on the massive tornado that struck in Oklahoma and exacted such a horrific toll in human life," the letter reads."Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of this tragedy and their families at this difficult time."At least 24 people, including nine children, were killed when a massive tornado struck an area outside Oklahoma City on Monday afternoon, officials said, according to CNN.At least seven of those children were killed at Plaza Towers Elementary School in Moore, Oklahoma, police said.
Reporters were cleared back from Plaza Towers Elementary School,
which sustained a direct hit Oklahoma Lieutenant Governor Todd Lamb told
CNN. But television pictures showed firefighters from more than a dozen
fire departments working under bright spotlights to find survivors.President
Barack Obama declared a major disaster area in Oklahoma, ordering
federal aid to supplement state and local efforts in Moore after the
deadliest U.S. tornado since one killed 161 people in Joplin, Missouri,
two years ago.There was an outpouring of grief on Plaza Towers’
Facebook page, with messages from around the country including one
pleading simply: “Please find those little children.”A separate
Facebook page set up to reunite people in the area hit by a tornado on
Sunday with their belongings and pets also showed entries for Moore
residents overnight.Another elementary school, homes and a
hospital were among the buildings leveled in Moore, leaving residents of
the town of about 50,000 people stunned at the devastation and loss of
life. Many residents were left without power and water.The
Oklahoma medical examiner said 20 of the 91 expected to have been killed
were children. The office had already confirmed 51 dead and had been
told during the night by emergency services to expect 40 more bodies
found in the debris, but had not yet received them.
At least 60 of the 240 people injured were children, area hospitals said.The National Weather Service assigned the twister a preliminary ranking of EF4 on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, meaning the second most powerful category of tornado with winds up to 320 km/h.Witnesses said Monday’s tornado appeared more fierce than the giant twister that was among the dozens that tore up the area on May 3, 1999, killing more than 40 people and destroying thousands of homes. That tornado ranked as an EF5, meaning it had winds over 300 km/h.The 1999 event in Oklahoma ranks as the third-costliest tornado in U.S. history, having caused more than $1 billion in damage at the time, or more than $1.3 billion in today’s dollars. Only the devastating Joplin and Tuscaloosa tornadoes in 2011 were more costly. Jeff Alger, 34, who works in the Kansas oil fields on a fracking crew, said his wife Sophia took their children out of school when she heard a tornado was coming and then fled Moore and watched it flatten the town from a few miles away.
“They didn’t even have time to grab their shoes,” said Alger, who has five children aged four to 11. The storm tore part of the roof off of his home. He was with his wife at Norman Regional Hospital to have glass and other debris removed from his wife’s bare feet.Moore was devastated with debris everywhere, street signs gone, lights out, houses destroyed and vehicles tossed about as if they were toys.The dangerous storm system threatened several southern Plains states with more twisters. The area around Moore faces the risk of severe thunderstorms on Tuesday, which could hamper rescue efforts.Speaking outside Norman Regional Hospital Ninia Lay, 48, said she huddled in a closet through two storm alerts and the tornado hit on the third.
“I was hiding in the closet and I heard something like a train coming,” she said under skies still flashing with lightning. The house was flattened and Lay was buried in the rubble for two hours until her husband Kevin, 50, and rescuers dug her out.“I thank God for my cell phone, I called me husband for help.”Her daughter Catherine, seven, a first-grader at Plaza Towers Elementary School, took shelter with classmates and teachers in a bathroom when the tornado hit and destroyed the school. She escaped with scrapes and cuts.
The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center provided the town with a warning 16 minutes before the tornado touched down at 3:01 p.m. (2001 GMT), which is greater than the average eight to 10 minutes of warning, said Keli Pirtle, a spokeswoman for the centre in Norman, Oklahoma.The notice was upgraded to emergency warning with “heightened language” at 2:56 p.m., or five minutes before the tornado touched down, Pirtle said.Television media measured the tornado at more than 3 km. wide, with images showing entire neighborhoods flattened.The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposed a temporary flight restriction that allowed only relief aircraft in the area, saying it was at the request of police who needed quiet to search for buried survivors.Oklahoma activated the National Guard, and the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency activated teams to support recovery operations and coordinate responses for multiple agencies.Briarwood Elementary School, which also stood in the storm’s path, was all but destroyed. On the first floor, sections of walls had been peeled away, giving clear views into the building; while in other areas, cars hurled by the storm winds were lodged in the walls.The number of injured as reported by several hospitals rose rapidly throughout the afternoon.“The whole city looks like a debris field,” Glenn Lewis, the mayor of Moore, told NBC.“It looks like we have lost our hospital. I drove by there a while ago and it’s pretty much destroyed,” Lewis said.The massive twister struck at the height of tornado season, and more were forecast. On Sunday, tornadoes killed two people and injured 39 in Oklahoma.

A devastating, mile-wide tornado touched down near
Oklahoma City on Monday, killing at least 37 people, decimating homes,
businesses and a pair of elementary schools in the suburb of Moore.According to the state's medical examiner, the death toll was expected to rise.The schools—Plaza Towers Elementary and Briarwood Elementary—were
leveled by the tornado. It was unclear how many children were in them at
the time the twister hit, but according to KFOR, at least seven
children died at Plaza Towers, and as many as two dozen more were feared
to be trapped inside the rubble. An Associated Press photographer saw rescue workers pull several children out alive. A makeshift triage center was set up in the school's parking lot.
"This is war-zone terrible," Jon Welsh, a helicopter pilot for KFOR who lives in Moore, said while surveying the damage from the air. "This school is completely gone."Emergency officials urged people to remain off the roads so rescue workers and first responders could reach people potentially trapped in rubble, as the National Guard was called in to help in the search for victims.Three people were killed at a 7-Eleven in the path of the storm, CBS' KWTV reported, including a man, woman and baby who took cover in a freezer but didn't survive. KFOR-TV reported a fourth person was killed there.

The funnel cloud could be seen for miles, creating a debris field several miles wide. According to the National Weather Service in Norman, Okla., the tornado was on the ground for approximately 40 minutes, moving 20 miles. A tornado warning was in effect for 16 minutes before twister developed, the NWS said.
Weather officials estimated the strength of the tornado to be an E-F4 or EF-5 on the Fujita scale, the highest rating a tornado can achieve. The National Weather Service said the tornado's preliminary classification was an EF-4, with winds up to 200 mph.On May 3, 1999, a tornado outbreak near Oklahoma City produced 14 tornadoes—including an F5 in Moore—killing 36 people and injuring 295 others. A host on KFOR called Monday's storm "the worst tornado damage-wise in the history of the world."Communication in the area was snarled as landlines and cell towers were knocked down. A water treatment plant in Oklahoma City was also damaged.President Barack Obama directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to prepare to get "all available assistance" to the disaster-hit area, the White House said.The 106-acre Orr Family Farm was completely destroyed, killing between 75 and 100 horses, KFOR reported.Families of potential victims were directed by the Red Cross to a website—safeandwell.org—for information about survivors.Another, smaller tornado was spotted on the ground west of Meeker, Okla., north of Shawnee, on Monday.The Oklahoma House of Representatives canceled its afternoon sessions so lawmakers and staffers could take shelter, the AP said.The tornadoes came a day after powerful storms ripped through the center of the country, spawning at least a dozen tornadoes, killing two people and causing extensive damage from Georgia to Minnesota.

The area at greatest risk includes Joplin, Missouri, which on Wednesday will mark two years since a massive tornado killed 161 people.The latest tornado in Oklahoma came as the state was still recovering from a strong storm on Sunday with fist-sized hail and blinding rain.Two men in their 70s died in the storm, including one at a mobile home park on the edge of the community of Bethel Acres near Oklahoma City, said Keli Cain, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Office of Emergency Management. Thirty-nine people were injured around the state as storms toppled trees and tore up rooftops, she said.Several hundred homes and buildings were thought to have been damaged or destroyed and approximately 7,000 customers were left without power in Oklahoma. "There is definitely quite a bit of damage," Cain said.Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin declared 16 counties disaster areas.
MULTIPLE TWISTERS
More than two dozen tornadoes were spotted in Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas and Illinois, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and local news reports. Hail stones, some as large as baseballs, were reported from Georgia to Minnesota, NOAA said.Wind gusts of 72 miles per hour (115 kilometers per hour) were reported near Gardner, Kansas, and 60 mph in Atchison, Kansas. The high winds toppled trees, downing power lines and smashing cars and rooftops in communities around the Midwest.
A tornado that touched down southwest of Wichita, Kansas, on Sunday was rated an EF1 on Monday by the National Weather Service. The most powerful is an EF5. The tornado stayed on the ground for about 4.5 miles, with winds of 86-110 mph, the service said.The tornado damaged homes and outbuildings, felled trees and knocked out power to about 11,000 residents but caused no injuries, said Sharon Watson, spokeswoman for the Kansas Division of Emergency Management."We came through this one very fortunate," Watson said.In southwest Missouri, a tornado touched down shortly after midnight Monday in Barton County, said Tom Ryan, the county's director of emergency management. The tornado damaged some farm buildings and two houses but caused no injuries, he said, noting that it struck in a rural area.
Just east of Barton County, in Dade County, the tornado tore off roofs at a grocery store, golf course and city swimming pool complex in Lockwood, said Bob Kitsmiller, director of emergency management for the county, adding that no injuries were reported.The tornado season in the United States had been unusually quiet until last week, when a tornado struck the town of Granbury, Texas, killing six people.(Reporting by Carey Gillam, Nick Carey, Brendan O'Brien, Kevin Murphy and Steve Olafson; Writing by Greg McCune and Daniel Trotta)

Jeff Alger, 34, who works in the Kansas oil fields on a fracking crew, said his wife Sophia took their children out of school when she heard a tornado was coming and then fled Moore and watched it flatten the town from a few miles away.
“They didn’t even have time to grab their shoes,” said Alger, who has five children aged four to 11. The storm tore part of the roof off of his home. He was with his wife at Norman Regional Hospital to have glass and other debris removed from his wife’s bare feet.Moore was devastated with debris everywhere, street signs gone, lights out, houses destroyed and vehicles tossed about as if they were toys.The dangerous storm system threatened several southern Plains states with more twisters. The area around Moore faces the risk of severe thunderstorms on Tuesday, which could hamper rescue efforts.Speaking outside Norman Regional Hospital Ninia Lay, 48, said she huddled in a closet through two storm alerts and the tornado hit on the third.
“I was hiding in the closet and I heard something like a train coming,” she said under skies still flashing with lightning. The house was flattened and Lay was buried in the rubble for two hours until her husband Kevin, 50, and rescuers dug her out.“I thank God for my cell phone, I called me husband for help.”Her daughter Catherine, seven, a first-grader at Plaza Towers Elementary School, took shelter with classmates and teachers in a bathroom when the tornado hit and destroyed the school. She escaped with scrapes and cuts.
The National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center provided the town with a warning 16 minutes before the tornado touched down at 3:01 p.m. (2001 GMT), which is greater than the average eight to 10 minutes of warning, said Keli Pirtle, a spokeswoman for the centre in Norman, Oklahoma.The notice was upgraded to emergency warning with “heightened language” at 2:56 p.m., or five minutes before the tornado touched down, Pirtle said.Television media measured the tornado at more than 3 km. wide, with images showing entire neighborhoods flattened.The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) imposed a temporary flight restriction that allowed only relief aircraft in the area, saying it was at the request of police who needed quiet to search for buried survivors.Oklahoma activated the National Guard, and the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency activated teams to support recovery operations and coordinate responses for multiple agencies.Briarwood Elementary School, which also stood in the storm’s path, was all but destroyed. On the first floor, sections of walls had been peeled away, giving clear views into the building; while in other areas, cars hurled by the storm winds were lodged in the walls.The number of injured as reported by several hospitals rose rapidly throughout the afternoon.“The whole city looks like a debris field,” Glenn Lewis, the mayor of Moore, told NBC.“It looks like we have lost our hospital. I drove by there a while ago and it’s pretty much destroyed,” Lewis said.The massive twister struck at the height of tornado season, and more were forecast. On Sunday, tornadoes killed two people and injured 39 in Oklahoma.

"This is war-zone terrible," Jon Welsh, a helicopter pilot for KFOR who lives in Moore, said while surveying the damage from the air. "This school is completely gone."Emergency officials urged people to remain off the roads so rescue workers and first responders could reach people potentially trapped in rubble, as the National Guard was called in to help in the search for victims.Three people were killed at a 7-Eleven in the path of the storm, CBS' KWTV reported, including a man, woman and baby who took cover in a freezer but didn't survive. KFOR-TV reported a fourth person was killed there.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, Okla., the tornado was on the ground for approximately 40 minutes, moving 20 miles. A tornado warning was in effect for 16 minutes before twister developed, the NWS said.
Weather officials estimated the strength of the tornado to be an E-F4 or EF-5 on the Fujita scale, the highest rating a tornado can achieve. The National Weather Service said the tornado's preliminary classification was an EF-4, with winds up to 200 mph.On May 3, 1999, a tornado outbreak near Oklahoma City produced 14 tornadoes—including an F5 in Moore—killing 36 people and injuring 295 others. A host on KFOR called Monday's storm "the worst tornado damage-wise in the history of the world."Communication in the area was snarled as landlines and cell towers were knocked down. A water treatment plant in Oklahoma City was also damaged.President Barack Obama directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency to prepare to get "all available assistance" to the disaster-hit area, the White House said.The 106-acre Orr Family Farm was completely destroyed, killing between 75 and 100 horses, KFOR reported.Families of potential victims were directed by the Red Cross to a website—safeandwell.org—for information about survivors.Another, smaller tornado was spotted on the ground west of Meeker, Okla., north of Shawnee, on Monday.The Oklahoma House of Representatives canceled its afternoon sessions so lawmakers and staffers could take shelter, the AP said.The tornadoes came a day after powerful storms ripped through the center of the country, spawning at least a dozen tornadoes, killing two people and causing extensive damage from Georgia to Minnesota.

TULSA, Oklahoma (Reuters) - A huge tornado flattened an area near Oklahoma City
on Monday, tearing up at least two schools and leaving a wake of
tangled wreckage as a dangerous storm system threatened as many as 10
U.S. states.Television video showed homes destroyed, cars tossed
and at least one building on fire. Rescue workers were pulling
third-graders from a damaged school in Moore, Oklahoma, a KFOR television reporter said from the scene."I have never seen anything like this in my 18 years
covering tornadoes here in Oklahoma City. This is without question the
most horrific," said Lance West, a reporter for KFOR television.There were no reports of deaths and the number of
injuries remained unconfirmed after the tornado struck near Moore, in
the Oklahoma City metropolitan area, in midafternoon."It seems that our worst fears have happened today," said Bill Bunting, National Weather Service meteorologist in Norman, Oklahoma.The massive twister struck at the height of tornado season, and more were forecast. On Sunday, tornadoes killed two people and injured 39 in Oklahoma.Witnesses said Monday's tornado appeared more fierce
than the giant twister that was among the dozens that tore up the region
on May 3, 1999, killing more than 40 people and destroying thousands of
homes.That tornado ranked as an EF5, the highest on the Enhanced Fujita Scale, meaning it had winds over 200 mph.The 1999 event ranks as the third-costliest tornado in
U.S. history, having caused more than $1 billion in damage at the time,
or more than $1.3 billion when adjusted to today's dollars. Only the
devastating Joplin and Tuscaloosa tornadoes in 2011 were more costly."We have many injured and we're just trying to work out
how bad it is right now," said a woman who answered the phone at the
Moore city manager's office.The National Weather Service predicted a 10 percent chance of tornadoes in parts of Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas,
Missouri and Illinois. It said parts of four other states - Wisconsin,
Indiana, Michigan and Iowa - have a 5 percent risk of tornadoes.The area at greatest risk includes Joplin, Missouri, which on Wednesday will mark two years since a massive tornado killed 161 people.The latest tornado in Oklahoma came as the state was still recovering from a strong storm on Sunday with fist-sized hail and blinding rain.Two men in their 70s died in the storm, including one at a mobile home park on the edge of the community of Bethel Acres near Oklahoma City, said Keli Cain, a spokeswoman for the Oklahoma Office of Emergency Management. Thirty-nine people were injured around the state as storms toppled trees and tore up rooftops, she said.Several hundred homes and buildings were thought to have been damaged or destroyed and approximately 7,000 customers were left without power in Oklahoma. "There is definitely quite a bit of damage," Cain said.Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin declared 16 counties disaster areas.
MULTIPLE TWISTERS
More than two dozen tornadoes were spotted in Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas and Illinois, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and local news reports. Hail stones, some as large as baseballs, were reported from Georgia to Minnesota, NOAA said.Wind gusts of 72 miles per hour (115 kilometers per hour) were reported near Gardner, Kansas, and 60 mph in Atchison, Kansas. The high winds toppled trees, downing power lines and smashing cars and rooftops in communities around the Midwest.
A tornado that touched down southwest of Wichita, Kansas, on Sunday was rated an EF1 on Monday by the National Weather Service. The most powerful is an EF5. The tornado stayed on the ground for about 4.5 miles, with winds of 86-110 mph, the service said.The tornado damaged homes and outbuildings, felled trees and knocked out power to about 11,000 residents but caused no injuries, said Sharon Watson, spokeswoman for the Kansas Division of Emergency Management."We came through this one very fortunate," Watson said.In southwest Missouri, a tornado touched down shortly after midnight Monday in Barton County, said Tom Ryan, the county's director of emergency management. The tornado damaged some farm buildings and two houses but caused no injuries, he said, noting that it struck in a rural area.
Just east of Barton County, in Dade County, the tornado tore off roofs at a grocery store, golf course and city swimming pool complex in Lockwood, said Bob Kitsmiller, director of emergency management for the county, adding that no injuries were reported.The tornado season in the United States had been unusually quiet until last week, when a tornado struck the town of Granbury, Texas, killing six people.(Reporting by Carey Gillam, Nick Carey, Brendan O'Brien, Kevin Murphy and Steve Olafson; Writing by Greg McCune and Daniel Trotta)
