Hit by calamities, gripped by drought!

Greetings,

I recall listening to the Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad(The Last Messenger of God) stating that Allah would send a drought upon America that would be so terrific that people will pray for relief. They would pray for rain, but when the rain of snow comes it will only worsen the situation.

We can say in truth that this is what is taking place in California and across her MidWestern plains. They are gripped by the terrific drought that was foretold to come!

      Rain barely made a dent in California drought

While parts of the state have gotten rain in recent weeks, it’s done little to quench the drought
Fall has arrived, but in Southern California, warm, dry conditions remain. While the state has received some rain in recent weeks, the overall picture remains largely unchanged.

Q: How did we do in October?

Last month was the third-warmest October in California since officials began keeping records more than a century ago, according to government climatologists.

The average temperature statewide in October was 64.5 degrees, less than one degree below the all-time record set in 2003, the National Climatic Data Center reported.

Q: How warm has California been so far this year?

So warm, it’s a record. In fact, 2014 is likely to be California’s hottest year since 1895, when temperature record-keeping began. Between January and October, the average temperature across the state was 63.8 degrees. That’s a record for that time period, and more than four degrees higher than the average — 59.6 degrees.

Q: What about the drought?

Recent rainfall in Northern California improved stream flows, raised some river levels and spurred the growth of small plants and grasses. But overall, it barely made a dent.

The early November U.S. Drought Monitor map showed the percentage of the state in severe drought had only slightly improved, from covering 95.04% of the state at the end of September to 94.42%…..MORE HERE
