2011 saw record number of high-cost weather disasters

Prophecy Sign:  The roaring and tossing of the sea


If you thought it was a deadly year for natural disasters around the world, you would be right.  And if you reside in the United States, you have just lived through a record breaking year with a dozen natural weather disasters that each topped a billion dollars in damage.

Do you suppose people might pay attention to you now when you tell them this was all foretold in bible prophecy?

There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. Luke 21:25 NIV

From the article:

America's wild weather year has set another record: a dozen billion-dollar catastrophes. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Wednesday that it has recalculated the number of weather disasters passing the billion-dollar mark, with two new ones, pushing 2011's total to 12. The two costly additions are the Texas, New Mexico and Arizonawildfires and the mid-June tornadoes and severe weather.

The United Stateshad a dozen weather disasters that each caused at least $1 billion in damages in 2011, the greatest frequency of severe weather that caused costly losses in more than 30 years of federal government tracking. However, even with the number of events, the total losses this year from the storms, flooding and droughts is $52 billion, not even close to the most expensive year on record, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The disasters in 2011 caused more than 600 deaths, the agency said. The Groundhog Day blizzard, Hurricane Irene, many tornadoes and drought-fueled wildfires in Texas, New Mexico and Arizonacrossed the $1-billion threshold.
