Across the U.S., the now all too familiar klaxon call "The Governor (or whoever) has declared a state of emergency" is heard more and more frequently. There is no question many of these "states of emergency" are simply budget ballooning techniques, but an unusual number of natural/environmental disasters seem to have recently reared their collective ugly heads.
Sharky&Sharky do not want to get all biblical, but consider the following:
A plague - that's right a plague of insects has begun in the southern section of the U.S. and will swell to cover the entire southeastern section of the U.S. and spread all the way up to Illinois. The Cicada is back in mass and has not been seen in these numbers for over thirteen years.
Fire and Brimstone. In the past six months Texas has become the eternal damnation as well over two million acres of sweet Texas turf has turned to cinder. Not to be outdone, the state of New Mexico has seen upwards of 490 square miles meet the same fate. Even North Carolina has felt the "devils" torch.
Floods are ravaging the countries midsection as the mighty Mississippi River swells to levels not seen in almost one hundred years - if ever before. You know things are dire when you have to move prison inmates to higher ground. In addition, almost 4 million football fields of farmland are now under water. Six Midwestern states have experienced the wettest April in 116 years.You might want to pick up some sheep's blood from your local butcher. Because, maybe the Rapture is more than conjecture?
