Hello John and all Doves!

how it relates to what Jesus said in Luke 10:18…(I
saw) (satan) (fall) (like) (lightning) (from) (the
heights)

the hospital with burns and the rodeo had to be
canceled!! Then

Violent storm turns night into day over
Washington- residents claim the ‘most intense’ lightning
storm ever seen

bright, I was temporarily blinded,” Wilkinson said. “It
looks like its daytime.”
July 15, 2012 – WASHINGTON – There
were a lot of tired people in the Tri-Cities on Saturday
after an early morning electrical storm rattled homes
and flashed bright lights through windows. The system
that led to a severe thunderstorm warning from the
National Weather Service also cooled down the
Mid-Columbia after a string of 100-plus degree days.
The light show and downpour didn’t
appear to cause any significant damage, with police and
fire officials surprised at how few calls were received.
However, it might not be over, with the forecast calling
for a slight chance of thunderstorms through the rest of
the week as the temperatures heat up again. Those storms
continue to bring the threat of lightning sparking
wildfires.
The thunder and lightning that
moved through the area earlier Saturday seemed anything
but normal to the dozens of residents who took to social
media to describe the experience. Some referred to it on
the Tri-City Herald’s Facebook page as “the best storm
ever” or the “most intense” they’ve experienced in the
Northwest.
People awakened by the loud booms
reported staying up through the early morning hours
because they were fascinated by Mother Nature’s
spectacular display, or simply realized that attempts at
sleep were futile. A severe weather alert issued at 2:37
a.m. said two storms were located six miles southwest of
Kennewick and moving north at 30 mph. Within minutes,
the storms moved over the Tri-Cities and seemed to
hunker down for almost three hours, with cloud-to-cloud
lightning that often was so bright it appeared to be
daytime.
The National Weather Service’s
warning described it as “a dangerous storm,” and told
residents to prepare for damaging winds, destructive
hail and deadly lightning that could strike the ground.
People were instructed to seek shelter inside a strong
building, but away from windows. The weather service
took two calls from the public reporting hail the size
of a quarter in Kennewick.
Public
reports of wind speeds in Kennewick ranged from gusts of
35 to 40 mph to gusts up to 60 mph that drove the rain
and hail sideways. “I’m sure it’s been a blast for
people to watch the lightning,” Brooks said. The weather
service had been expecting the storms to form for a
couple of days because of instability with a
low-pressure system and warm temperatures, Brooks said.

The timing
was just so eerie!!
Did the solar flare cause this, or is the Lord
trying to tell us something?!
I pray it
means we are on our way out of this place very soon!!
May God surround you
with His love and protection!!
Agape!
