      • our-man-t

        Pray for the people….not against them. Calling down judgment is NOT what Christ has called us to do.

        • DOOMSDAY!

          I do not call that.

          I MERELY STRESS OUT FACTS!

          Fact is New York sinned too much.

          Fact is God does not forgive sinners who do not repent.

          New York was warned with 9/11

          Did it repent?

          NEVER! IT KEPT DOING IT’S FILTH!

          So now comes the end. Like for Japan the end of the USA shall come but not all of it.

          Jesus land will be protected.

          That much I DO KNOW!

      Hey “Dupre” you charlatan, where was my drenching rain in So Cal last weekend? Hmmmm? Have you “Duped” us again? You tw@t.

      • paul brown

        The rain has brought out the water rats. You should all show compassion for the poor victims of global warming, and we all need to take action to minimize the worst that is yet to come.

        • The Rift

          You’re the water rat here Skid-mark.
          Global warming was adequately disproved by many scientists internationally. Just look up
          ‘The Great Global warming hoax.’
          If the world believes the BS, then they can make more money, and pass even more laws.
          Paul, just go jump off a bridge. You disgrace of a human being, and a traitor to us all.

        • LifeIs

          paul brown you are not making sense. There has been no global warming measured in 17 years. Therefore, there is no weather caused by global warming.

          How hard is that to understand?

        • The Rift

          Read his bio, I have copied it, it says:

          Paul Brown is a retired professor of neuroscience. He has written several books and peer-reviewed scientific articles. His current concerns are primarily climate change, the sixth mass extinction, overpopulation, and the ongoing subversion of democracy by corporate governments.

          His CONCERNS are what concern the elites, carbon (climate change, new word for Global warming) means people “We need to get the carbons down !” Mass extinction “War !”, overpopulation, no explanation needed, well looking around the world, WE ALL know what ‘Democracy’ is.

          I think this sums him up quite well !

        • Apollon

          Quick everyone click your heals together three times and say I wish I were home I wish I were home I wish I wwwwooooww it worked I’m in paradise blue Sky’s and butterfly’s beautiful white soft sandy beach clear water,nice sun kissed women to look at I’m never leaving Pensacola

    • Thane36425

      That really stinks because that whole area, including Mobile, is quite low-lying.

      It should be noted that the major southern rail line runs through both Mobile and Pensacola. It is only two tracks wide and carried a great deal of freight. For most of the distance between Mobile, through Pensacola and through the Florida Panhandle, the rails run either practical on the Gulf Coast Beach or through near sea-level swamps. After Hurricane Ivan some years back, the tracks were wrecked for weeks. No word yet if this storm has damaged the tracks or bridges.

      I mention this because the next crossing of the Alabama River is about 70 miles north and the next another 30 miles or more above that. I’m not sure if either of those tracks, or the elderly bridges, could take up the slack for long, if at all.

      Now, this isn’t some conspiracy theory, but rather an indictment of the crappy state of US infrastructure.

      • Apollon

        It happens a lot here ,flooding what’s new.rivers,swamps ,and gulf .this is the oldest city in america nothing will keep us down .some of us look at it this way most of those pesky bugs are gone.well the sun is out think I’ll go fishing .

      • Apollon

        We did fine last time without power ,running water and gas for 6weeks .the RR was down for more than 2 years. thats what truck are for.

    • cryptkeeper

      What is it going to take before you people realize that the government is controlling the weather.Out of control rainfall amounts in the south and north east,abnormally long drought in California.Weathermen trying to convince us that these extremes are a normal occurence?Super saturated ground causing huge sinkholes and landslides.How many people are going to die before they get it “dialed in?Wake up people before it really gets out of control!Look up everyonce in a while and see whats going on in the skies.When I say the government is controlling the weather I mean testing the weather to see what they can do.Huge counter clockwise rotation that covered half the country causing tornados and 18 inches if rain in Florida in a 24 hour period,give me a break.Nothing about this is natural.And the polar vortex,how many of you had even heard of this term before last year?The weatherman are clueless or in on it or they would not be claiming that these phenomenon are “rare but have been known to happen.”These people have no idea what they are messing with,you can see the results.When world wide weather goes out of control and they cannot find a reset button they will no doubt blame it on climate change and once again call it a normally occurring phenomenon.Stop drinking the koolaide start thinking for yourselves again question these odd occurrences.
