Major winter storm is set to slam the Northeast on Saturday, bringing intense snowfall, powerful winds and coastal flooding to the east coast. NYC could get anywhere between 8 and 12 inches of snow, and parts of eastern Long Island may see up to 18 inches before the storm leaves the region. The heaviest snowfall is expected farther up north in Boston and New England, which will be 'clobbered' with between 12 and 18 inches of snow.

Videos From Helene Flooding in North Carolina- VERY VERY SAD Story about Micah (age 7) last haunting words
October 02, 2024
Jessica Drye Turner posted a photo taken by her sister, Megan Drye, of their “parents, in their 70s,” as they and her nephew, Micah, 7, were trapped on top of their Asheville home. This would be the last photo of her parents.
The last thing Micah yelled before he was taken was, ‘Jesus! Please help me!’”
The gut-wrenching images shows the couple huddled together, with her mother in a coat and surrounded by blankets, as the floodwater was only steps away from the base of the roof.
“They’ve called 911 but they aren’t the only ones needing rescue. This is definitely a moment when faith is all you have,” Turner wrote on Friday.
Her sister, Megan, was saved when she became wedged in debris and was not washed away. She was rescued about an hour later.
“I cannot convey in words the sorrow, heartbreak and devastation my sisters and I are going through nor imagine the pain before us,” she wrote.
“Please lift my sister who lost her son up in prayers and my other sister and myself as we come together to somehow comfort her and get through each moment banded together.”
Snow Extent in the Northern Hemisphere now Among the Highest in 56 years
December 04, 2022
Northern Hemisphere snow extent is currently indeed very high, now at about 41 million square kilometers, according to the NOAA/Rutgers Global Snow Lab. The most recent snow cover information is given in the image below.
The religion called climate change is about to insure the deaths of hundreds in the Northern Hemisphere areas of the globe. A disaster is brewing because the west is pushing bans on fossil fuels, leaving millions in the cold and without food. What they will need and not get is global warming! Snow extent in the Northern Hemisphere at the end of November represents an important parameter for the early winter forecast. This year snow extent is running much higher than average and according to existing global estimates, it is now beyond the highest ever observed so far. Winter forecast, especially in its early phase and in Europe, might be strongly influenced by such a large snow extent, although many other factors need attention... MORE>>>>>
Mauna Loa eruption: Hawaii Big Island volcano erupting first time in 38 years as ash fall warnings issued
November 28, 2022
Mauna Loa, the world’s largest active volcano located in Hawaii, began erupting late Sunday night, prompting officials to issue a warning to residents who live in the surrounding area of possible lava flow.
Hawaii officials issued an emergency alert around 11:30 p.m. local time on Sunday, warning that a volcanic eruption had been detected inside Hawaii Volcanoes National Park near the summit caldera of Mauna Loa. Officials warned the eruption could cause volcanic gas and ash to be carried by the winds but confirmed that “lava flows are contained within the summit area and are not threatening downslope communities.”
HAWAII’S LARGEST ACTIVE VOLCANO ON THE PLANET HIT BY MAGNITUDE 5.0 EARTHQUAKE
“Residents at risk from Mauna Loa lava flows should review preparedness and refer to Hawai‘i County Civil Defense information for further guidance,” the U.S. Geological Survey said in its warning to residents. “Based on past events, the early stages of a Mauna Loa eruption can be very dynamic and the location and advance of lava flows can change rapidly.”
The eruption comes after the active volcano was put into a “state of heightened unrest” due to a magnitude 5.0 earthquake that hit in mid-October. Although the volcano did not erupt in the immediate aftermath of the earthquake, it’s unclear whether that incident contributed to the eruption on Sunday.
Mauna Loa has erupted 33 times since 1843, with its last eruption being recorded in 1984. During that incident, lava flow from the volcano came within 4.5 miles of the island’s largest town, Hilo, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
The Hawaiian Volcano Observatory will coordinate with other emergency management partners to monitor the volcanic activity, it said in the emergency alert. Officials also confirmed it will conduct an overflight to assess future hazards.

Ben Davidson of Suspicious 0bservers gives an update on the filaments and sunspot clusters and shifts focus onto the solar windstorm's due to the earth facing CME's
Here is a great opportunity to read Bob Barney's column on the prophetic warnings of Celestial happenings from the Bible. NASA even confirms how our sun will be the star of the show in a potentially cataclysmic event for us earth dwellers in the not-too-distant future.
The Plain Truth: Is life for you about to change forever?
The mission of The Plain Truth is to warn the world of the coming events prophesied in the Bible that will bring impact and change to all our lives. For most, it is difficult to understand these ancient predictions and therefore impossible to see them coming to life in the here and now. The Plain Truth diligently scans world events and today’s headlines to help connect these dots and make the warnings forecasted thousands of years ago easier to understand.

US braces for a battering by THREE potential hurricanes in September
August 30, 2022
US braces for a battering by THREE potential hurricanes in September - including one that could spoil Labor Day for millions - after boiling August which saw no named storms for only the third time in 60 years
For the first time since 1982, there has not been a single named storm anywhere in the Atlantic between July 3 and the penultimate week of August. The quiet period could soon end, however: three potential storms are currently being monitored with a chance of hitting the U.S. The nearest storm as of Monday was described by the National Hurricane Center as being in the Central Tropical Atlantic, and they estimate the chance of it becoming a hurricane within five days at 80 percent (pictured, and video). Two more follow: one 600 miles east of Bermuda as of 2pm EDT on Monday, given a 10 percent chance of becoming a hurricane, and the third off the west coast of Africa, given a 30 percent chance of strengthening to a hurricane in the next five days.
Spring Forward to Daylight Savings Time
March 13, 2022
AS SNOW blankets much of East coast- Freezing in Florida
Daylight saving time 2022 begins at 2 am local time on Sunday
- Daylight saving time announces its entrance at 2 am local time Sunday for most of the country, and clocks will spring one hour ahead
- Standard time will hibernate until November 6, when clocks will fall back an hour
- It will stay lighter for longer into the evening but the sun will rise later in the morning than it has during the months of standard time
- Remember to set clocks an hour ahead, usually before bed Saturday night
- No time change is observed in Hawaii, most of Arizona, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Guam and the Northern Marianas
- 200 years ago, DST was presented as an economical suggestion to maximize daylight hours and conserve candles before the advent of electricity
- Roughly 100 years later, the Germans were the first to officially adopt the light-extending system in 1915 as a fuel-saving measure during World War I

'Somebody better do something': Furious drivers stranded on I-95 in Virginia for more than 19 HOURS demand Gov. Northam speed up rescue efforts with families stuck in cars running out of gas and with no food or water
- Hundreds of motorists have been stuck in the snow for more than 19 hours along a 50-mile stretch of Interstate 95 in Virginia after a crash involving six tractor-trailers
- Travelers grew furious as their woes weren't answered and emergency personnel were not coming to their rescue and Governor Ralph Northam tweeted: 'Sunlight is expected to help @VaDOT clear the road'
- Former VP candidate and Virginia State Senator Tim Kaine revealed that he is one of the people stuck in the snowy pile-up in a tweet early Tuesday
- 'I started my normal 2 hour drive to DC at 1pm yesterday. 19 hours later, I’m still not near the Capitol,' he wrote
- The VDOT announced that I-95 'is closed northbound and southbound from exit 152 (Dumfries Road) to exit 104 (Carmel Church) as crews continue work to remove stopped trucks, treat for icing, and plow snow'
- The snowstorm piled 7 to 11 inches of snow on the US East Coast's main north-south highway
- Compounding the challenges, traffic cameras went offline as much of central Virginia lost power in the storm
- On Tuesday morning, authorities were still struggling to reach those involved in the crash and the Virginia State Police had already responded to more than 2,000 calls for service

'Unsurvivable' Hurricane Ida whips up to 165mph and threatens to breach New Orleans levees on 16th anniversary of Katrina
August 29, 2021
We pray for those involved to be kept safe
Hurricane Ida could overwhelm levees strengthened to protect New Orleans as it barrels down on Louisiana on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. The storm - whose winds have hit 165mph, with gusts of up to 165mph - is on the verge of becoming a Category 5 hurricane, amid fears it could be one of the strongest to ever hit Louisiana. Evacuations have begun amid warnings of storm surges of up to 15 feet, with Jefferson Parish President Cynthia Lee Sheng saying of the predicted inundation: 'I want to reiterate, the storm surge that we are expecting is unsurvivable.'

Don't believe the hype about Climate change, global warming, and the deadliness hurricane garbage that you are assaulted with daily in the media. Take a look.... Also remember before the 1960's we didn't even have satellites and ways to measure some storms, and we didn't have 10 million people in harm's way building on ocean beaches. Remember that thing about 'building your houses on sand?" Jesus knew what would happen 2,000 years ago!

Absolute PROOF that hurricanes are not caused by man made carbon or anything else we do!
September 06, 2019
Bob Barney
I am sick of the nonsense that the Democrats, most media figures and FAKE SCIENTIST spew to the American public about global warming... IT IS A LIE. They know it's a lie, but this is Satan's way of making you give up your freedom and surrender to him and his minions, and rejecting God in the process! It's about time that the American people wake up to the coming authoritarian rule that the Democrats want to bring to America. Under the guise of "climate change" these Democrats, and many Republicans too, want to take away your God given, constitutional rights. They want to dictate to you what to think and where you go and what you can do. WE ARE AT WAR, and the Democrats want most of you DEAD! Do not be stupid.
CNN says hurricanes are because of global warming. Read the graph below to see that they are LYING! And by the way, when the talk about the damage today, they don't have a clue of the thousands of AMERICANS killed each year before modern satellites.
Take a look for yourselves- open your eyes! A note: Up until the 1930's we did not have accurate wind readings. So many hurricanes were underreported and not even known! The #'s before them may be even HIGHER! Wind speeds defiantly were

Want to turn off the internet? It could happen if a solar storm hits the Earth
March 14, 2019
It's happened before and it could happen again.
Roughly 2,700 years ago, an unusually powerful solar storm swept past the Earth, scientists announced in a new study. Though it had little to no impact on people in that long ago, pre-industrial and pre-technological world, such an event today would cause widespread power outages along with potentially disastrous communication and navigation failures.
The solar storm, which was in 660 B.C., was about 10 times stronger than any known event in the past 70 years, study lead author Raimund Muscheler said.
A solar storm of that strength would be "a threat to modern society in terms of communication and navigation systems, space technologies and commercial aircraft operations,” the study said.
Scientists studied ancient ice in Greenland to uncover clues about previous solar storms. Looking at an ice core that dated as far back as 100,000 years, researchers found radioactive isotopes that indicated a very powerful solar storm 2,700 years ago.
A Brutal Winter Coming?
