Why Is This Happening? Unprecedented Flooding Has Hit The U.S. Within The Last 30 Days - By Michael Snyder -

Over the past 30 days, major floods have hit the east coast, the west coast and now the middle part of the country. So why is this happening? Why is the U.S. being hit by so many catastrophic weather events all of a sudden? During the past month flooding has caused billions of dollars in damage, and in many areas the clean up is going to take well into next year. Some pundits are blaming El Nino, but others are pointing to other potential reasons for why this may be happening. Let's start by taking a look at some of the biggest flood events that have happened over the past 30 days...
Hurricane Joaquin never made landfall on the east coast, but moisture from the storm had a tremendous impact - particularly in South Carolina. In fact, the governor of the state said that the region had not seen that type of rain "in a thousand years"...
"We haven't had this level of rain in the low-country in a thousand years - that's how big this is," said South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Days of record rainfall and catastrophic flooding left at least seventeen people dead in South Carolina and two dead in North Carolina, Oct. 6, 2015. Thirteen dams have failed.
It would be very difficult to overstate the amount of damage that was caused by this storm. Some officials are estimating that the total amount of economic damage done "will probably be in the billions of dollars"...
The rains may have stopped in South Carolina, but the danger and the work to rebuild are far from over.
"I believe that things will get worse before they get better," Columbia Mayor Steve Benjamin told reporters Monday.
"Eventually the floods will abate, but then we have to access the damage, and I anticipate that damage will probably be in the billions of dollars, and we're going to have to work to rebuild. Some peoples' lives as they know them will never be the same," he said.
Of course this is far from the only destructive flooding event that we have seen in recent weeks.
Out in California they have been getting hit with disaster after disaster. First, the wildfire season came very close to setting a national record this year, and it was particularly bad out west. The following comes from USA Today...
The amount of land burned by wildfires in the U.S. this year has surpassed 9 million acres, according to data released Thursday by the National Interagency Fire Center.
This is only the fourth time on record the country has reached the 9 million-acre mark, center spokesman Randall Eardley said in an e-mail. The area burned is roughly equivalent to the size of New Jersey and Connecticut combined.
All of the top years for acres burned have occurred since 2000, Eardley said. The worst year occurred in 2006, with 9.8 million acres. In 2007 and 2012, 9.3 million acres were burned, he said. If another 800,000 acres are burned this year, an all-time record would be set.
I have a feeling that when the final numbers are all in and tallied that 2015 will end up setting an all-time record for wildfires.
But after a really dry, hot summer, southern California got surprised by a deluge of heavy rain this month and the results were absolutely catastrophic. The following comes from Fox News...
A flood of mud and debris triggered by heavy rainfall in Southern California rushed onto streets and highways Thursday, stranding hundreds in their cars and closing a major interstate.
Nearly 40 miles of Interstate 5 north in Los Angeles were still closed Friday afternoon after heavy rainfall sent mud, debris and even boulders streaming into the north-south running freeway, according to the California Department of Transportation.
Some people, stuck in up to 5 feet of mud, were forced to camp overnight in their vehicles, according to NBC Los Angeles. Pictures on social media showed some cars submerged in debris up to the windshields.
Authorities are still digging people out from this mess several days later. In fact, the dead body of one man was just pulled out of a van that had been encased in several feet of mud...
Southern California fire crews discovered a man's body Tuesday inside a van that had been buried under several feet of mud after a flash flood overran a road near Los Angeles last week.
And just over this past weekend, the middle part of the country has had to deal with tremendous flooding as well. Hurricane Patricia turned out to be the world's strongest hurricane since at least 1970, and the remnants of this storm are hitting the state of Texas quite hard.
The small town of Powell, Texas got 20 inches of rain in just 30 hours, and a Union Pacific train that was running nearby was derailed by the heavy flood waters...
A Union Pacific freight train carrying cement derailed in Navarro County after a creek overflowed, washing out the tracks. Locomotives and rail cars were pushed on their sides, and a two-person crew was forced to swim to safety.
Repair teams cleared the derailed cars by Sunday morning, but they were not expected to be righted for several hours and a locomotive was not seen being moved until later in the day, Union Pacific spokesman Jeff DeGraff said on Sunday afternoon.
All of this has happened within the past 30 days.
So is there a reason why all of these events have happened?
Of course some people say that it is just a coincidence that all of these storms have hit us in such close proximity.
Others are pointing to the extremely strong El Nino that has developed. Here is an excerpt from a recent Bloomberg report...
It has choked Singapore with smoke, triggered Pacific typhoons and left Vietnamese coffee growers staring nervously at dwindling reservoirs. In Africa, cocoa farmers are blaming it for bad harvests, and in the Americas, it has Argentines bracing for lower milk production and Californians believing that rain will finally, mercifully fall.
El Nino is back and in a big way.
Its effects are just beginning in much of the world - for the most part, it hasn't really reached North America - and yet it's already shaping up potentially as one of the three strongest El Nino patterns since record-keeping began in 1950. It will dominate weather's many twists and turns through the end of this year and well into next. And it's causing gyrations in everything from the price of Colombian coffee to the fate of cold-water fish.
That certainly doesn't sound promising for the months ahead.
But some climate "experts" are really playing down the impact of El Nino. Instead, they are attempting to convince us that what we are witnessing is simply the result of "man-made climate change", and they are using this as an opportunity to promote their agenda.
And there are yet others that see a spiritual dimension to all of this. In fact, there are some out there that believe that all of this flooding could be a sign that the judgment of God on America has begun.
So what do you think?
Do you believe that there is a reason why the U.S. is experiencing so much flooding lately?
Swarm of California Earthquakes Continues a Series of Unusual Events That Began in Late September - By Michael Snyder -
http://endoftheamericandream.com/archives/swarm-of-california-earthquakes-continues-a-series-of-unusual-events-that-began-in-late-september
First it was wildfires, then it was unprecedented flooding, and now it is earthquakes. In the past two weeks alone, more than 400 earthquakes have shaken San Ramon - a small city that sits approximately 45 miles east of San Francisco. Never before have so many earthquakes been recorded in that area in such a short span of time. Standing alone, that earthquake swarm may not mean that much. But when you stand back and look at all of the unusual events that have been happening since late September, a very disturbing picture begins to emerge.
But first, let's talk about this earthquake swarm. All over the planet, seismic activity seems to be increasing. According to Volcano Discovery, dozens of volcanoes around the world have recently erupted, and Afghanistan was just hit by a massive 7.5-magnitude quake. It was one of the worst earthquakes that Afghanistan has ever seen, and it is going to take months to deal with all of the damage. So that is why it is so alarming that right now there is record breaking earthquake activity just outside of San Francisco...
San Ramon, California, appears to have broken a new earthquake record over the last two weeks: A total of 408 small quakes have shaken the East Bay city, almost four times the record set in 2003 in half the amount of time.
"I've not felt so many tremors in decades," Mark Stone said outside a San Ramon Starbucks on Tuesday morning. "My dog, Gimmel, she's the first one to know a couple of seconds before."
And his dog has been extra alert lately.
The state of California has been seeing a lot of disasters lately. In late September, tremendous wildfires in the state were making headlines all over the planet. In fact, Barack Obama formally declared the Valley Fire to be a "major disaster", and federal funding was released to help fight it. The following is from an NBC News article that was posted on September 23rd...
President Barack Obama has declared a major disaster for the fourth most destructive wildfire in California's history, a blaze that has forced some 12,000 people to evacuate their homes and caused at least three deaths.
Obama signed the declaration Tuesday to release federal funding to help with the Valley Fire, which has been burning north of San Francisco since September 12.
This has been an exceptionally bad year for wildfires nationally. According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the only time when more acres had burned up to this point in the year was in 2006. And the truth is that we are just barely behind 2006's record pace. More fires are still burning right now, and by the time it is all said and done I expect that 2015 will end up surpassing 2006 and will be the worst year for wildfires that we have ever seen.
As I wrote about the other day, we have also witnessed unprecedented flooding in recent weeks as well. A few days after Obama's disaster declaration in California, the storm that would became known as Hurricane Joaquin developed into a tropical depression on September 28th.
Even though Joaquin never made landfall, moisture from that storm absolutely devastated the east coast. The governor of South Carolina, Nikki Haley, said that it was the most rain that her state had seen "in a thousand years"...
"We haven't had this level of rain in the low-country in a thousand years - that's how big this is," said South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley. Days of record rainfall and catastrophic flooding left at least seventeen people dead in South Carolina and two dead in North Carolina, Oct. 6, 2015. Thirteen dams have failed.
Following that, we also witnessed historic flooding in southern California, and the remnants of Hurricane Patricia caused flooding in many parts of Texas. You can read about the details in my previous article entitled "Why Is This Happening? Unprecedented Flooding Has Hit The U.S. Within The Last 30 Days".
Could it be possible that there is a connection between all of these events?
For a moment, I would like to share with you what I think. In the legal world, there is always a pronouncement of guilt before punishment is administered, and over the past six months or so the guilt of America has been put on display in some very unusual ways.
One of the ways that we are being shown our guilt is through these undercover Planned Parenthood videos. I don't believe that it is any accident that they have come out at this time. The entire world is being shown that we are killing millions of babies, harvesting their organs, selling them off to the highest bidder, and then using these organs in bizarre scientific experiments.
And a new video was released just this week. In this new video, a Planned Parenthood doctor actually admits that she tries to abort babies in such a way so that their skulls remain intact. The following comes from Fox News...
A Planned Parenthood doctor laughs as she says she continues to "strive" to deliver an aborted baby with an intact skull and appears to admit participating in partial-birth abortions in the latest undercover video released Tuesday targeting Planned Parenthood.
A woman identified as Dr. Amna Dermish of Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas is the focus of the Center for Medical Progress' 11th video, which is purported to have been filmed during a medical conference in October 2014.
"My aim is usually to get the specimens out pretty intact," Dermish says at one point.
Video after video like this has been released, and the American people have responded with tremendous indifference.
Even after our guilt has been put on display for all the world to see, one survey found that only 29 percent of all Americans want to shut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood. By more than a 2 to 1 margin (65 percent to 29 percent), the American people said that we should continue giving Planned Parenthood hundreds of millions of tax dollars each year.
After I let that number sink in for a bit, I was faced with one inescapable conclusion.
America is done.
America is finished.
America has become Nazi Germany.
And just like Nazi Germany and all other horribly evil regimes throughout history, we are headed for a great day of reckoning.
We are not going to be able to get away with the great crimes against humanity that we have been committing. A great shaking is coming to this nation, and we are going to deserve every ounce of what is about to happen to us.
