The time grows more crucial as California burns — and there’s worse to come

Greetings,

Without the knowledge of the time we are lost. We are victims to the judgment if we are ignorant of prophecy and what is to come in this time. Do not think for one second that America’s leaders don’t realize that this is the day of their doom.

There are some intelligent white people who know and who will bear witness with me that the worst is yet to come! So, with “The Worst Yet To Come,” I say to you my Black brothers and my Black sisters fly to Allah

….” America is best all around now with troubles and destructions which have happened. America thought that she was immune to the troubles and destructions which are going on in other nations.”–pg.257(tfoa)

This signifies her end has come.

California burns — and there’s worse to come

AFP By Michael Thurston
Los Angeles (AFP) – Wildfires are nothing new in California. But in the third year of a historic drought, the tinder-dry western US state is battling near-record numbers of blazes.

Nearly 7,500 firefighters are currently struggling to douse the so-called King Fire east of Sacramento which has forced almost 3,000 people to evacuate as it rages across an area bigger than the city of Las Vegas.

But while this is fairly typical for an ordinary year, it is far from the first of the season.

“Already this year California responded to nearly 5,000 wildires, where in an average year that number would be closer to 3,900,” said Daniel Berlant of California’s Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or CalFire.

“There has been a significant increase in fire activity due to the fact that conditions are so dry from the drought,” he told AFP, noting that “historically, California experiences its largest and most damaging wildfires in the fall months.

“So we’re just now getting to the peak of fire season.”

Blazes have been erupting for months. In May, thousands of residents had to leave their homes due to a surge of fires which triggered the partial evacuation of a military base and a tourist amusement park.

In July and again in August wildfires forced more than 13,000 evacuation orders near California’s landmark Yosemite National Park, disrupting vacations for some of the millions of tourists who visit every year from the United States and abroad.

In all there have been 1,000 more wildfires than average, and 700 more than last year, which was already the worst for a decade, according to CalFire.

“In our west, wildfire season now stretches most of the year,” President Barack Obama said in a speech on climate change to the UN General Assembly earlier this week.

– Reservoirs at historic lows –

Talk of climate change certainly rings true in California, which is baking in the third straight year of an intense drought — the worst for up to a century, according to Governor Jerry Brown.

The drought has devastated farming in the Central Valley, known as the nation’s food basket, but which is struggling to grow crops and raise cattle on parched soil.

Water reservoirs are at historic lows. They are typically filled in the spring by melting snow from the Sierra Nevada mountain range. But last winter was one of the driest on record.

Most of the fires so far this year have been in the north of the state. But as the summer ends firefighters in southern California are bracing for worse to come as the real season gets under way…..MORE HERE
