Major Floods Twice As Common As 30 Years Ago!
READ THE FULL ARTICLE HERE (March 2, 2018)
Major floods have become almost twice as frequent as they were 30 years ago, according to figures from the Centre for Research on the Epidemoiology of Disasters (CRED).
During the 1990s, an average of 87 serious floods were recorded around the world each year, a number that has climbed to 165 a year since the turn of the century, impacting more than 140 million people annually. Last year 169 incidents were registered.
In the same timeframe, the number of droughts has risen by 30 percent, landslides are up 23 percent, storms have increased by 11% and fires by 14%, according to CRED data.
“Flooding is increasing everywhere and causing large-scale losses. It’s by far the biggest threat for for the world including Europe,” Debarati Guha-Sapir, director of CRED and a professor at the University of Leuven, Belgium. She adds that floods are nevertheless one of the natural disasters that are simplest to avoid.
Researchers consider a major flooding event to be one that affects at least 100 people or kills at least 10 or results in a declaration of emergency or call for international assistance.
While floods are not the most deadly climate-linked disaster, they impact the most people, forcing them to relocate and destroying infrastucture and food supplies.

Don’t Despair When You Can’t Feel Me By Your Side! MY Wrath Is As Great As MY Love!
February 5, 1997
Those who turned to unholiness, and did not even attempt to please ME or seek ME. Floods will come and will cover many sections of the earth at one time. These will symbolize MY tears, as so many have Hell over Heaven. Those that chose satan over YAHUSHUA! I will send forth the tornadoes and it will be MY fist sending forth the flying wind. I will demonstrate this not in one place, when you see many come together you will know I am speaking and I am angry and MY anger is not easily appeased.
There have always been earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes here and there but when you see them like a chain reaction, many at the same time then you will know this is the time I have warned you about. REPENT NOW before it’s too late! I have been holding back MY anger far too long now!

Hide Yourselves MY Children, For Just A Little While Longer!
August 31, 2002
Hide yourself, MY Children. Yes, even hid yourself from the Great GOD ‘I AM’s wrath. For although I’m not angry at you, you’re going to hear ME shout, you’re going to hear ME stomp, you’re going to see ME shake where even the very earth is going to be in fear and quake. You’re going to see the flood of MY tears and you already have begun for when the floods came, that was MY tears.

THE KING IS COMING!
September 16, 2002
Hide yourself MY Children for yet just a little while. For all of Heaven rages, and against satan and his demons war rages. It is waged, for the King is coming! The Earth quakes and shutters in fear in various parts of the world. You are seeing floods, these are MY tears. Remember when the floods came in the time of Noah. Remember how he was mocked and they mocked up until the time the rains came. But I told MY Children Noah and his family to get in the ark and bolt the door, and when the floods came, the ungodly ones pounded on that door. Then they wanted in, then they believed who I am, but it was too late for them and the floods swallowed them.
