Facing Hurricane Irene, NYC Officials Order EvacuationsPosted on Aug 26, 2011
With Hurricane Irene bearing down on the East Coast, New York City and state officials have ordered a mandatory evacuation of 250,000 people in flood-susceptible communities and announced plans to shut down much of the coastal region’s transit system, including subways, by noon Saturday. Preparations included the evacuation of 22 nursing homes and hospitals in New York City’s low-lying areas Friday morning, the suspension of weekend construction work and the opening of all lanes in a 28-mile stretch of coastal New Jersey highway in the westward direction by Friday at 6 p.m. Mayor Michael Bloomberg said 91 evacuation centers and shelters would open late Friday afternoon for people who could not stay in their homes.

Strangely enough, I do welcome natural disasters like earthquakes and hurricanes. Not all aspects of these natural events are bad and negative. I can list below several of the benefits:
1. Natural disasters have a way of humbling those who behave haughtily, arrogantly and unjustly on Earth, as they reduce or curtail their haughty, arrogance and unjust acts, at least temporarily.
2. Because they cause serious material destruction, natural disasters remind us of the transitory nature of the material aspects of a civilization achieved at the cost of its spiritual and humanistic aspects.
3. Natural disasters claim human lives, which help balance over population trends.
4. Because of the need to rebuild after the destruction caused, natural disasters provide chances of employment for the unemployed and underemployed in the industry of rebuilding. Some of this employment might become long-term careers.
(If you have a creative and critical mind you can add more benefits of your own!)

Those who harness the winds will be harvested by the storm.
There is no doubt in my mind that Mother Nature, or God as some will prefer, is sending a strong message of warning to those who behave haughtily, arrogantly and unjustly on Earth!

Mis-using H.A.A.R.P. to perform the sequel to 9-11, to destroy NYC, instead of one, single, “Willis Tower” in Chicago, would have a dual effect. Much of the hundreds of billions of insurance-coverage payments would go to Bernanke´s Zionist bosses. That amount plus recovery costs is all that is needed to drop the bottom out of the US Treasury, and bankrupt the U.S.A.
Report thisHowever.
A question arises.
Would Americans, rather than a few super-rich Zionist-types, be benefited if Irene were guided to Wash. D.C. ?
Is it only a matter of how H.A.A.R.P. is charged-up and triggered ?

@ expat
If the forecast of Irene is genuine - -
Report thisone questions whether “God” is the creator of Irene, or if the USGOV gnerds, who give the orders on how H.A.A.R.P. is to be charged up and triggered, are the creators ?
