Worst Flooding EVER?

The deep south was just hammered by the worst outbreak of tornadoes ever....so one would think that maybe there would be some calm after the storm.  But now they are facing floods along the Mississippi and the expected crest could make it the worst flooding ever....or at least in over 80 years.

NEW ORLEANS—A surge of water not seen since the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927 is forecast in coming days to test the enormous levees lining the Mississippi River on its course through the Deep South, adding another element of danger to a region already raked by deadly tornadoes and thunderstorms.


The river is forecast to crest at 53.5 feet on May 18 at Vicksburg, Miss., a key gauge. That is the highest river stage recorded at Vicksburg since the catastrophic flooding of 1927 when the river reached 56.6 feet and would have kept on rising if levees hadn't given way, causing massive flooding and killing hundreds. After that calamity, the nation undertook an aggressive $13 billion plan to build levees and floodways that would avert such a scale of flooding again.


"The levees are designed to withstand 65 feet," said Robert Anderson, a corps spokesman in Vicksburg. But he added that "it has never been tested before quite like it has been tested now."

It was interesting to watch Brian Williams on NBC Nightly News yesterday.  He turned to the guy from the National Weather Service and said, "What in the world is going on?  What is causing all this?"

I spoke loudly to the TV screen, "Jesus is coming Brian!  Can you feel the mountains tremble?"

Lord....what WILL it take to wake up this lost generation?  Your people are perishing for lack of knowledge.

I would anticipate this will happen before the next flotilla.

Peace,

Everytime a disaster such as what just happened in the south occurs, some scientist always says, "This has happened before." No wonder some people don't realize this is the end times. I agree that some of this has happened before, but not everything all at once. That is the difference. It is just like the birth pangs that Jesus said would happen just before his coming. Closer together and with more frequency.
