Biden Declares Emergency After Deadly Southern Storms
At least 26 people have been confirmed dead after the storm system ripped through a 170-mile track of Mississippi and Alabama.
Rescuers are looking for survivors. Here’s what to know.
Rescuers on Sunday morning continued to search for victims of a deadly storm system that ravaged Mississippi and Alabama, as stunned residents tried to come to terms with the scale of the devastation and officials warned that more dangerous storms could be on the way.
Early on Sunday, President Biden declared an emergency for Mississippi, a move that clears the way for federal funding for a range of assistance, including recovery efforts and temporary housing.
At least 26 people have been confirmed dead after the deadly storm system ripped through a 170-mile track of Mississippi and Alabama on Friday with such fury that it flattened an entire town of 2,000 people. The toll could rise as the hunt for survivors continues. But rescue efforts could be hampered by weather. The National Weather Service’s Storm Prediction Center warned there was a risk of more severe weather on Sunday in parts of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama, including damaging winds, hail and possible tornadoes.
👉 Here’s what to know:
The National Weather Service office in Jackson said late Saturday that the tornado that hit Rolling Fork had received a preliminary EF-4 rating. Like hurricanes and earthquakes, tornadoes are rated on a scale. The Enhanced Fujita, or EF, scale runs from 0 to 5, and an EF-4 rating is characterized by wind speeds of 166 to 200 mph.
While Rolling Fork in west-central Mississippi appeared to have been hardest hit, reports of damage extended across a large swath of the state into northeastern counties. Fred Miller, a former mayor of Rolling Fork, described Friday’s storm as “about as bad as I’ve ever seen.”
Details have started to emerge about some of the storm’s victims, with 25 of the dead in Mississippi. A 1-year-old named Riley Herndon and her 33-year-old father, Ethan Herndon, whose family had lived near Wren, Miss., for several generations. Riley’s two siblings and mother were severely injured.
Officials in Mississippi have set up emergency shelters for displaced citizens. Several hundred beds and emergency supplies have reached Rolling Fork, according to Lynn Fitch, the state attorney general.

💭 After unseasonal rain, Mumbai under a thick haze layer.
The Weather Dept said that the dust winds phenomenon would last for Sunday only, but again from Monday onwards, there is a possibility of a dip in temperature in Maharashtra for the next few days
A day after a western disturbance and cyclonic circulation over Rajasthan brought unseasonal rains it, Mumbai on Sunday had a thick layer of haze settled over it.
According to weather experts, the haze was attributed to “dust-raising winds”, brought as a result of the same Western Disturbance which caused Saturday’s rains and a drop in Sunday’s temperature.
It was further said that since everybody was wearing mask due to Covid-19, no other precautions were required.
“This haze consists of mainly sand because it originates from the Middle East where the conditions are sandier. It cannot be defined as smog, which comprises a more complex mixture of pollutants,” said Gufran Beig, Project Director, SAFAR.
The Weather Department said that the dust winds phenomenon is going to last for Sunday only, but again from Monday onwards, there is a possibility of a dip in temperature in Maharashtra for the next few days.
The maximum temperature of Mumbai’s Santacruz stood at 23.8 degrees Celsius, which is lowest in the last 10 years.
The dip in temperature was a result of the cloudy sky over north Konkan. It brought day time temperatures to as low as 23-24 degrees Celsius, which is the lowest maximum temperature in the last 10 years or maybe more, for the month of January.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) on Saturday said that after affecting normal life in Karachi, a massive dust storm headed towards Gujarat and south Rajasthan on Saturday evening and it may continue to have an effect till next 12 hours.
Karachi was caught off guard on Saturday morning when a dust storm that travelled from Pakistan’s west disturbed the normal life there with visibility reduced to less than or about 500 metres.
“Saurashtra coast has been getting dust rising winds from afternoon. Dwarka station reported 400 m visibility, at Porbandar, wind speed was more than 10 km per hour with visibility of less than 1 km,” the IMD said.
Winds carrying dust blew from south Pakistan areas and adjoining the Arabian Sea towards Kutch and Saurashtra towards evening.
The ‘Sand and Dust Storms Risk Assessment in Asia and the Pacific’ report for 2021, published by the Asian and Pacific Centre for the Development of Disaster Information Management (APDIM), which is a regional institution of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), had said more than 500 million people in India and more than 80 per cent of the populations of Turkmenistan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Iran are exposed to medium and high levels of poor air quality due to sand and dust storms.
Lahore, Karachi, and Delhi are the three most affected cities, the report had said.
Dust storms, if severe, and over a longer time, also adversely affect agriculture, especially cotton.
💭 Arcadia/ Arkadia (utopia/ Ethiopia) in Greek Mythology
Arcadia refers to a vision of pastoralism and harmony with nature. The term is derived from the Greek province of the same name which dates to antiquity; the province’s mountainous topography and sparse population of pastoralists later caused the word Arcadia to develop into a poetic byword for an idyllic vision of unspoiled wilderness. Arcadia is associated with bountiful natural splendor, harmony, and is often inhabited by shepherds. The concept also figures in Renaissance mythology. Commonly thought of as being in line with Utopian ideals, Arcadia differs from that tradition in that it is more often specifically regarded as unattainable. Furthermore, it is seen as a lost, Edenic form of life, contrasting to the progressive nature of Utopian desires.
The inhabitants were often regarded as having continued to live after the manner of the Golden Age, without the pride and avarice that corrupted other regions. It is also sometimes referred to in English poetry as Arcady. The inhabitants of this region bear an obvious connection to the figure of the Noble savage, both being regarded as living close to nature, uncorrupted by civilization, and virtuous.
🔥 The Wrath Of God?
Florida is a nice place, but it unfortunately has become a lot like California, representing both the best and the worst that America has to offer. This is especially true in the area of homosexuality. While there are many conservative and religious Floridians, there are a tremendous amount of sodomites and immoral activity that takes place there. Given the serious moral decay of America that we see taking place before our eyes and the increasing disrespect for even the most basic of Christian morality, looking at this storm I began to wonder if perhaps, in some way, it was connected to this crisis.
The word “Hurricane” originally comes from the Taino Indians, a people who inhabited the Caribbean and parts of Florida when the Spanish arrived in the 16th century. The original world, “Huracan,” was a god of evil in their pagan religion, and the natives thought that these storms were attacks from this evil diety. Interesting.
For many years, it has been popular to give Hurricanes a name to distinguish them from others. Certain names, however, are retired from circulation because they are associated with particular catastrophes, such as Hugo (1989), Andrew (1992), and Katrina (2005). This hurricane is named Matthew, which of course comes from the New Testament Evangelist St. Matthew, whose traditional sign used by the early Christians and continuing today in the Catholic and Orthodox Churches is that of an angel:
The Book of Kells, the oldest New Testament in Ireland, showing the four evangelists. St. Matthew is depicted as an angel in the upper left quadrant.
Angels -the ones obedient to God- in the Bible always play important roles in executing God’s will, both for aiding man in his struggle for righteousness and punishing him in accordance with God’s will. In the Old Testament angels appeared to Moses when he was in the desert, and the angel St. Raphael came to the aid of Tobit when he was under attack from the demon Asmodeus. In the New Testament it was the angel Gabriel who announced Jesus’ conception to St. Mary, an angel who announced to the Holy women news of Jesus’ resurrection, and it the book of Revelations it is St. Michael the Archangel who battles against the ancient dragon. Yet also in the same Bible it was angels who guarded the entrance to the Garden of Eden after Adam and Eve were expelled from it on account of their sin, and it was the angel of death who slew by the command of God the firstborn of every living creature in Egypt following Moses prophecy to the Pharaoh about God’s impending punishment for his refusal to free the Hebrews from their bondage. Interesting.
The Bible clearly teaches that in the Old Testament whenever the Hebrews were very disobedient towards God, He would send punishments against them, many times in the forms of natural disasters. Christian history also recognizes the same, where God will use His creation to execute judgment against the wicked. While not all bad weather is necessarily a sign of sin, both sacred scripture and sacred tradition clearly note that it can be so. Now we know that Florida is an area that is infected with sin, especially cities such as Miami and Orlando, which are veritable dens of sodomy.
💭 Westminster Abbey, which is directly under the monarch’s jurisdiction, currently refuses to return the Holy Tablet
George Carey, a former Archbishop of Canterbury, has told The Art Newspaper that he is “astonished and saddened” that Westminster Abbey is refusing to return a sacred Tabot to Ethiopia. For the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, a Tabot is a holy tablet that symbolically represents the Ark of the Covenant.
London’s Westminster Abbey is what is known as a Royal Peculiar, which puts it directly under the monarch’s jurisdiction. This means that returning the Tabot might well require the blessing of the monarch, the supreme governor of the Church of England.
In July 2018 The Art Newspaper revealed that the Ethiopian government was calling for the restitution of the abbey’s Tabot. Although King Charles III will now be dealing with a myriad of pressing issues, he is known to be sympathetic towards the Eastern Churches. More than 150 years after its acquisition, an appeal to the new king for the return of the Tabot might finally prove successful.
Westminster Abbey’s Tabot was looted at the battle of Maqdala (Magdala) in 1868, when British troops attacked the forces of emperor Tewodros. The Tabot was then acquired by Captain George Arbuthnot of the Royal Artillery.
Arbuthnot donated the Tabot to the abbey. Two years later a new altar was commissioned for the Henry VII Lady Chapel. The dean inserted the Tabot into the back of the altar, where it remained visible, along with two other sacred objects: fragments from the high altar of Canterbury Cathedral and the leading Greek Orthodox church in Damascus.
The Ethiopian Church has a strict belief that Tabot should not be seen, other than by priests. In 2010 the abbey therefore added a covering so that its Tabot is no longer visible behind the altar. Today a ghost-like rectangle where the front of the tablet could once be viewed can just be made out.
An abbey spokesperson said last month that “there are no current plans [for its return], but the future of the Tabot is kept under review”.
Carey, who served as archbishop from 1991 to 2002, told us just before the Queen’s death that he is disturbed that the Church of England “has not returned a sacred object belonging to another faith and country”.
💭 British Museum considers loan of ‘invisible’ objects back to Ethiopia
The British Museum holds 11 Tabot, the largest collection in the UK. To reflect the prohibition on them being seen, they are kept in an underground store that even the museum’s staff cannot enter.
The pressure group Returning Heritage last month submitted a Freedom of Information request to the British Museum, asking for details of claims for the Tabot since 1990. The group argues that the museum would legally be able to deaccession, under an exemption which allows it to dispose of objects that are “unfit to be retained”. Since the Tabot cannot be seen, the pressure group argues that there is no point in them remaining in the museum’s collection—and they should be returned to Ethiopia.
Since the summer of 2021, as part of its efforts to bridge cultures, The Scheherazade Foundation has been campaigning behind the scenes for the British Museum to repatriate eleven highly sacred Ethiopian altar tablets looted by British forces at the Battle of Maqdala in 1868. So sacred are these ‘Tabot’ to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, that in some 150 years the Museum has never put them on display nor allowed them to be studied, copied or even photographed. They therefore have no value to the Museum and should be returned to their rightful owners – a point made to the Museum Trustees in a letter sent by the Scheherazade Foundation last September and backed up by an opinion by Samantha Knights QC. Among the signatories to the Foundation letter were the former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey, Lord Foster of the Liberal Democrats, and former Labour minister Lord Boateng. The British Museum answered that letter only last month, refusing to engage in any way with the comprehensive legal arguments that the Foundation had put forward for the Tabot’s return. Yesterday in the House of Lords, Lord Carey tabled an oral question on the matter, sparking a lively debate in which Lords Foster and Boateng, along with the Bishop of Worcester and Lord Bassam of the Labour Party also intervened to support the Foundation’s position. Here is the relevant clip from the debate.

Adi Daero Massacre, in Tigray Ethiopia, 27 September 2022
This barbaric act was carried out on 27 September 2022 – on the very day Christians celebrated the annual Christian festival of the Meskel (which means “CROSS” in Ethiopic), marking the finding of the “True Cross” on which Jesus Christ was crucified. The festival is one of the major religious celebrations of the Orthodox Church in Ethiopia.
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

“And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.”
💭 Nine million people have been told to evacuate their homes as Japan is battered by one of the worst typhoons the country has ever seen.
The super typhoon Nanmadol has killed two people and injured almost 90.
It hit Japan’s most southerly island, Kyushu, on Sunday morning, and is forecast to pass over the main island of Honshu in the next few days.
Tens of thousands of people spent Sunday night in emergency shelters, and almost 350,000 homes are without power.
Transport and business has been disrupted, and the country is braced for extensive flooding and landslides.
Nanmadol has brought gusts of up to 234km/h (145mph), and some areas were forecast 400mm (16 inches) of rain in 24 hours.
Bullet train services, ferries, and hundreds of flights have been cancelled. Many shops and other businesses have closed, and sandbags have been put in place to protect some properties.
A huge solar storm is reported to be heading towards the Earth as per the National Aeronautics Space Agency’s (NASA) latest report. The report also suggested that the solar storm has a very high chance of colliding with the Earth’s atmosphere on Monday (March 28), however, the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) believes that the solar storm could enter the Earth’s atmosphere a few hours early (around 6 am on Monday).
While space operations are expected to be disrupted by the solar storm which has erupted on the Sun’s surface, the functioning of satellites orbiting around the Earth’s surface is also expected to witness some problems. While a bright glow is expected to be seen in the areas around the UK, Dr Tamitha Skov, known for her space forecasts, shared her views on the solar storm’s collision with Earth and stated that the effects could reach the ‘mid-latitudes’. Furthermore, she even stated that the people living in New York, Southern New Zealand and Tasmania could see the northern light in the dark.
Billy Tates, an astronomer from the University of Tennessee, added that the solar storm can have an illuminating effect in the Earth’s atmosphere, but at the same time could also affect the navigation systems. Raising a warning to all, NOAA shared a statement that read: While storms create beautiful auroras, they can also disrupt navigation systems such as the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and create harmful geomagnetic currents (GICs) in the electrical grid and channels.
While a small magnetic storm was experienced last month, it ended up destroying several SpaceX Starlink satellites, orbiting around the Earth’s surface.

🛑 Everyone knows that a red light means to stop. The word stop has two inferences that are quite different from each other. On one hand, the word stop means to quit. If a father said to his son, “I want you to stop telling lies,” we would rightly assume that he means to quit lying…permanently.
So when we think of my text as The Flashing Red Light Of His Coming, it reminds me of waiting at a railroad station, that when a man or people stand around, as many of us has when we was waiting to catch the train. And we can’t hear the train, or you don’t see him, but you know it’s time. Maybe the dispatcher says, “He’s a little late; he’s not exactly at the time. But we don’t know just when, but he will arrive soon.” And we’ll walk around in the station with our hands in our pockets, and setting on our suitcases, and go out and buy a bag of peanuts, and talk to the—somebody across the street. But all of a sudden we see something happen. There’s a noise takes place out at the tracks. And when they did, the arm goes down, and the red light begins to flash. What is that? The train is in the block. Though you can’t hear him, though you can’t see him, but yet that flashing red light and that arm down shows that he’s coming in. And then if you’re expecting to leave on that train, you’d better throw that bag of peanuts down, stop your talking, get up your suitcases, and get ready, or you’ll be left behind, ’cause he’s just stopping locally, just for a few moments. he’ll be gone. If you still stand to chat … the neighbor across the street, you’ll be left behind.
🔥 Oh! America, Easter is Approaching – yet, your man Abiy Ahmed Ali continues Massacring and starving millions of Christians of Northern Ethiopia to death – for 16 months. Please get rid of the anti-Christian fascist Oromo regime that hijacked Ethiopia — and ‘your’ evil monster PM Abiy Ahmed Ali now. STOP babysitting and supporting them!

“Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Therefore thus saith the Lord; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.”
