Gun metal grey clouds Declare war from the Heavens Uncertainty reigns
(C) Copy written, 12 January, 2005, by Karla Dorman. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2005 is roaring off to a wild start. Weather systems parade in never-ending succession across the landscape, from sea to shining sea.
Record rains in California. Record snows in the Sierras. Flooding rains in Southern Utah and the Ohio Valley. Ice storms in the Upper Plains and threats of tornadoes in the Southern Plains.
Daddy lives in North Central Ohio. This is what his weather has been like:
Christmas Eve, 2004: 28 inches of snow. New Year's Day, 2005: Heavy rains have melted all the snow. January 5, 2005: Ice storm with two inches of ice. Record cold is in the forecast by this weekend.
He said he's never seen anything like it.
Every year, weather records are set and broken for the most hottest coldest wettest driest stormiest.
Storms of the Century are striking with frightening regularity.
Every year, the number and intensity of storms seems to increase.
What is going on with our wicked, wicked weather?

Wicked weather indeed. God's trying to get everyone's attention.
Muncie, Indiana: Icestorm last Wed. that knocked out the power for 60,000 people. As of today, its still not all back on, and we had to have electrical crews from several states to add manpower it was so bad, not to mention all the downed trees, cable, and phonelines. Great question, Karla, and a great write.
what indeed? we've been unseasonably warm in the SE, which I, for one, quite like. but the rain and cold temps are coming this weekend they say. thanks for this write, Karla.

: ) Yes, us Ohioans have been getting blasted--either rain, snow or flooding.
No One Body Believes (God) IS Mad,i.e. (God) Is Nature And Too Hell You Humanity Goes To Nature (Stans) Hell In Stride Of And Before That Great Divide Look To Your Right You'll See My 19 Little Children Waving Hi And Of Course GOODBYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...
She[nature] is certainly a very angry mother at the moment. If it's any comfort were experiencing whacky and leathal weather in the UK too. Excellent write.
Mother nature is just doing some house keeping. It's just that now we know what the weather is like all over the world instead of just in our neck of the woods and this can be overwelming sometimes. The media is just blowing it out of portion. I remember ice storms in Ontario and Quebec that cost the life of many wild animals. At the time this happened there was an overpopulation of deer and the deer where starving. This seemly horrible icestorm killed many of the weaker deer. After the storm there were no more deer straving. There is a method to Nature's madness. It is just hard to see the whole picture when it affects us the way that it does.
Excellent write Karla...what is going on is the earth must
align itself to planetary changes, and it makes all of the
weather patterns more intense...we are likely to have this
kind of activity for an indefinite period until the alignment
is settled, then it's up for grabs;-) hahaha
The end times are a coming; and the signs are becoming more apparant every day. We must take heed and pay attention....Powerful write about a wild and wacky weather year; I wonder what the future holds...God only knows! May He protect us from harm and danger....I pary for His protection and his angels around us and around our land...
(((HUGS))) and much love, your twin, Karen Lynn. :(
