Something strange is going on in a southeast Austin neighborhood. Hundreds of fish went belly up in a local pond. Tuesday, the city and a local business are trying to figure out what happened. The city of Austin says more than 200 fish were found dead in a pond near the Onion Creek Golf Club. They're running tests to see what happened. In the meantime, residents there are frustrated by what they see and smell. When Jean Tarcz walked outside to the retention pond behind her home near Onion Creek Golf Course Monday she couldn't believe her eyes. "I saw all these huge fish out there floating...dead." Tarcz said. She says she feels the owner of the retention pond, onion creek club, neglected to care for the pond.

New York - Chunks of ice apparently fell from the sky on an 80-degree day in Brooklyn. The question is, where did they come from?
Terry Blasi and Louie Vitale said they were sitting on Blasi's porch on Wednesday when something the size of a softball crashed through the trees. "All of a sudden something had come down through the trees really loud and then a loud thump on the ground," Vitale told TV 10/55′s Dick Brennan on Friday. The pair raced to the street and found a chunk of ice. "It must have come through really fast and then thud. It sounded like a bowling ball went through," Blasi said. - SOTT Officials with the New Mexico Department of Game and Fish are puzzling over the mysterious deaths of more than 100 elk, apparently all within a 24-hour period, in rural New Mexico.
The elk were found Aug. 27 on a 75,000-acre ranch north of the city of Las Vegas. Livestock deaths, by themselves, are not unusual - there are many things that can fell large animals, including predators, poachers, a natural or man-made toxin, disease, drought, heat, starvation, and even lightning. But so far wildlife officials have seemingly ruled out most of these possibilities: The elk weren't shot (nor taken from the area), so it was not poachers. Tests have come back negative for anthrax, a bacteria that exists naturally in the region and can kill large animals. There seems to be no evidence of any heavy pesticide use in the area that might have played a role in the die-off. Though lightning strikes are not uncommon in the Southwest and in New Mexico specifically, killing over 100 animals at one time would be an incredibly rare event. It might be an as-yet unidentified disease, though killing so many at once - and so quickly - would be very unusual. Another possibility is some sort of contamination of the well or water tanks, but so far no toxins have been identified. - SOTT September 5 (evening of) through September 6th (evening) is the Blowing of the Trumpets.
All of The Most High's Feast Days points to the Meshiach! His Feast Days tells a story of Christ's Redemption. We are not able to perform the feasts like in the times of old, but HE tells us to keep it in remembrance FOREVER throughout all the generations. This covenant never went away, so we should always keep these feasts as a memorial to our Almighty One. Reference: Numbers 23 Leviticus 23 Ezekiel 33 Numbers 10 1. Passover - Those who have chosen to obey are covered under the Blood of the Lamb! 2. Feast of Unleavened Bread - Leaven represents Sin. Bread is the Body of Christ/The WORD - "Bread of Life". Those who have chosen to follow the Word makes a great effort to search out and identify the sin in their lives, repent of that sin, and turn from it! We are called to cleanse sin out of our lives. 3. Feast of First Fruits - A first fruit is a parable of a gardener/farmer who gleans their first fruits of their labors from the garden. With Christ, He gleans His chosen first fruits from the earth. It will be those who are doing the Will of The Most High following His Word and cleansing sin from their lives. TRUE FOLLOWERS! 4. Feast of Pentecost - This is the day that Moses received the 10 Commandments directly from the Most High. This is the day that the Set Apart Spirit came down upon the emissaries in Acts 2. The Set Apart Spirit was sent down to the chosen who are His True Followers. Those whose temple (body/mind/soul) is clean. 5. Blowing of the Trumpets - Ezekiel 33 - The Watchmen are called to Blow the Trumpets to send warning! The Blowing of the Trumpet is to also call the elect to gather together. We are living in that season of time where prophetically speaking, the chosen are called to come together to rise up and warn that the Meshiach's 2nd return is imminent!! HalleluYah!!! "Look up for your redemption draweth near" 6. Day of Atonement - Let us remember why Christ died for us. We must afflict our beings to keep all of this in rememberance. His sacrifice was great. It is our Sin that caused His death which is nothing we should be taking for granted. We are the reason He died and We owe our lives to Him! 7. Feast of Ingathering - HalleluYah! - We shall be brought back to our land - Into His place of Peace. Christ shall reign here on Earth as our King of Kings. This Kingdom reigns forever! All Praise be to our Father in the Heavens - Ahayah Asher Ahayah Bahashem Yahshua Shalom! Authorities warn Colcord, Oklahoma residents not to drink tap water due to blood worm infestation9/2/2013 OKLAHOMA – The people of Colcord, Oklahoma, might need something a little stronger than Brita filters to remove the impurities from their drinking water. Blood worms — small, red insect larvae — have been appearing in water glasses and filters in the rural town. Authorities have warned Colcord’s 800 residents not to drink, cook with or brush their teeth with the worm-infested tap water. Schools in the area have been closed since Tuesday as officials try to figure out where the bright-red creatures came from and how long it will take to get rid of them. There are no known health effects from the worms, which range from about a quarter to a half inch in length. But local officials aren’t taking any chances, hand-delivering letters to residents warning them to stick to bottled water for the time being. The Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is investigating the cause of the outbreak but isn’t yet able to say when the water will be safe to drink again, said spokeswoman Erin Hatfield. Blood worms, also known as red worms, are found in the southeastern United States, but not usually in Oklahoma. The environmental quality department has only recorded one other such infestation in the state, Hatfield said: in the town of Drumright, 108 miles away, more than 20 years ago. For the people of Colcord, about 75 miles east of Tulsa, the blood worm invasion that was first detected Monday can’t end soon enough. Staff at CJ’s Country Corner, a local gas station and convenience store, told CNN affiliate KJRH that business was much slower than usual, largely because of the school closure. They’re also unable to serve coffee or sodas from the fountain, they said. Colcord’s water commissioner, Cody Gibby, is scratching his head over how the worms, the larvae of midges, got through the town’s water-filtering defenses. “It’s not just a little 6-inch filter, it’s 6 foot of coal and sand mixed together that not even a hair can get through,” he told KJRH. “And these worms are getting through it and getting into our distribution water.” And his verdict of the presence of the little red invaders in the tap water? “Disgusting.” –CNN
ENVIRONMENT – Climate change is helping pests and diseases that attack crops to spread around the world, a study suggests. Researchers from the universities of Exeter and Oxford have found crop pests are moving at an average of 3km (two miles) a year. The team said they were heading towards the north and south poles, and were establishing in areas that were once to cold for them to live in. The research is published in the journal Nature Climate Change. Currently, it is estimated that between 10% and 16% of the world’s crops are lost to disease outbreaks. The researchers warn that rising global temperatures could make the problem worse. Dr. Dan Bebber, the lead author of the study from the University of Exeter, said: “Global food security is one of the major challenges we are going to face over the next few decades. We really don’t want to be losing any more of our crops than is absolutely necessary to pests and pathogens.” To investigate the problem, the researchers looked at the records of 612 crop pests and pathogens from around the world that had been collected over the past 50 years. “The most convincing hypothesis is that global warming has caused this shift.”These included fungi, such as wheat rust, which is devastating harvests in Africa, the Middle East and Asia; insects like the mountain pine beetle that is destroying trees in the US; as well as bacteria, viruses and microscopic nematode worms. Each organism’s distribution was different – some butterflies and insects were shifting quickly, at about 20km (12 miles) a year; other bacterium species had hardly moved. On average, however, the pests had been spreading by 3km each year since 1960. “We detect a shift in their distribution away from the equator and towards the poles,” explained Dr. Bebber. The researchers believe that the global trade in crops is mainly responsible for the movement of pests and pathogens from country to country. However, the organisms can only take hold in new areas if the conditions are suitable, and the researchers believe that warming temperatures have enabled the creature to survive at higher latitudes. Dr. Bebber said: “The most convincing hypothesis is that global warming has caused this shift. “One example is the Colorado potato beetle. Warming appears to have allowed it to move northwards through Europe to into Finland and Norway where the cold winters would normally knock the beetle back.” The researchers said that better information about where the pests and pathogens were and where they were moving was needed to fully assess the scale of the problem. –BBC
RUSSIA – Throughout history, large volcanic eruptions have been known to influence climate. This summer, the Midwest experienced a cold wave referred to as “Julytober” following the June eruption of Mount Sheveluch in Russia. Experts continue to compare this eruption to others from history and debate whether it could have induced the cooler Midwestern weather. “Large Russian volcano eruptions tend to cool the Midwest,” Historical Climatologist Evelyn Browning-Garriss said. When a volcano erupts, if it is large enough, it can send debris miles into the stratosphere. The stratosphere is the atmosphere above where weather takes place, approximately 6-8 miles off the ground. “Sulfur dioxide combines with water in the atmosphere to provide sulfuric acid aerosol droplets that reflect incoming solar radiation,” PhD Research Geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey Alaska Volcano Observatory David Schneider said.Although the eruption of Mount Sheveluch in June was minor compared to previous eruptions like Mount Pinatubo, two years before in 2011 there were two big eruptions in Russia and Iceland. These eruptions launched high amounts of debris into the air that still remain present today. With a lot of debris already existent in the atmosphere, the addition of the debris from Mount Sheveluch may have then had the ability to possibly influence temperatures by blocking out sunlight, Browning-Garriss said. While volcano experts agree that it is possible for an eruption to influence temperature, as observed in the historic “the year without a summer” in 1816 resulting from the disastrous 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora, most do not believe that the June Russian eruption was massive enough to impact temperatures. “It is highly unlikely that the modest eruptions of Mount Sheveluch have contributed in a significant manner,” Schneider said. –Accuweather excerpt
PERU – The Peruvian government has extended to nine more regions a state of emergency called to cope with unusually cold weather and heavy snowfall. At least two people have died and 33,000 others have been affected by the cold spell, local officials say. Tens of thousands of animals have frozen to death over the past week. President Ollanta Humala has travelled to Apurimac, one of the worst-hit areas, to oversee the distribution of emergency aid. The state of emergency would be in place for 20 days, an official statement said. The heaviest snow fall to hit Peru in a decade has killed tens of thousands of llamas, alpacas, cattle and sheep, and left farmers destitute. A man died when the roof of his hut caved in under the weight of the snow in southern Carabaya province but the circumstances of the second death were unclear. Three people were rescued on Saturday from the same region after their home was cut off by snow. Rescue workers said the three, two girls and an elderly woman, were suffering from frostbite and snow blindness. The cold front has also hit Peru’s south-eastern neighbour, Bolivia, and Paraguay. A total of five people have died in the two countries. –BBC |
