Hurricanes

A hurricane is a severe tropical storm that forms in the North Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160E. Hurricanes need warm tropical oceans, moisture and light winds above them. If the right conditions last long enough, a hurricane can produce violent winds, incredible waves, torrential rains and floods. In other regions of the world, these types of storms have different names.

• Typhoon — (the Northwest Pacific Ocean west of the dateline)
• Severe Tropical Cyclone — (the Southwest Pacific Ocean west of 160E or Southeast Indian Ocean east of 90E)
• Severe Cyclonic Storm — (the North Indian Ocean)
• Tropical Cyclone — (the Southwest Indian Ocean)

Hurricanes rotate in a counterclockwise direction around an "eye." A tropical storm becomes a hurricane when winds reach 74 mph. There are on average six Atlantic hurricanes each year; over a three-year period, approximately five hurricanes strike the United States coastline from Texas to Maine. The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and ends November 30. The East Pacific hurricane season runs from May 15 through November 30, with peak activity occurring during July through September.
When hurricanes move onto land, the heavy rain, strong winds and heavy waves can damage buildings, trees and cars. The heavy waves are called a storm surge. Storm surge is very dangerous and a major reason why you MUST stay away from the ocean during a hurricane.

Galveston Hurricane 1900
This killer weather system was first detected over the tropical Atlantic on August 27. While the history of the track and intensity is not fully known, the system reached Cuba as a tropical storm on September 3 and moved into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico on the 5th. A general west-northwestward motion occurred over the Gulf accompanied by rapid intensification. By the time the storm reached the Texas coast south of Galveston late on September 8, it was a Category 4 hurricane. After landfall, the cyclone turned northward through the Great Plains. It became extratropical and turned east-northeastward on September 11, passing across the Great Lakes, New England, and southeastern Canada. It was last spotted over the north Atlantic on September 15.

This hurricane was the deadliest weather disaster in United States history. Storm tides of 8 to15 ft inundated the whole of Galveston Island, as well as other portions of the nearby Texas coast. These tides were largely responsible for the 8,000 deaths (estimates range from 6,000 to 12,000) attributed to the storm. The damage to property was estimated at $30 million...

ALL natural disasters are completely under control of Almighty God. Psalm 48:7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. (KJV) . . . God can cause a wind so great that it can break a ship in half.

Psalm 104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind: (KJV) . . . God lays out the rafters of His home in the rain clouds. He makes the clouds His chariots; He rides upon the wings of the wind.

Psalm 135:7 He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. (KJV) . . . God causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and releases the wind from His storehouses.

Psalm 147:18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow. (KJV) . . . God commands snow to fall, then at His command, it all melts. He sends His winds out of his treasuries, and the ice thaws.

Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? (KJV) . . . Who but God goes up to heaven and comes back down? Who can hold the wind in His fists? Who can wrap up the oceans in His cloak? Who has created the whole wide world? What is His Name, and His Son's Name? Do you know?

Eccles. 1:6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. (KJV) . . . The wind blows south, then north, here and there, twisting back and forth, getting nowhere.

Jeremiah 10:13 When he uttereth his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures. (KJV) . . . When God speaks, there is thunder in the heavens. He causes the clouds to rise over the earth. He sends lightning with the rain and releases the wind from His storehouses in His own timing, whenever and wherever He chooses!

Do you think that with the frequency of the storms in recent years, that perhaps God is trying to tell the world something? For instance, the United States began with God-fearing people. In God we trust was the motto! It is NO longer that way! People do NOT fear God today, they ridicule and blaspheme Him! Trying times are ahead for unbelievers! The 24th chapter of Matthew clearly tells us some things to look for, and what we can expect!
