    It’s already a hurricane…and as the weather people are finding it strange that, it formed so much closer to Africa than normal.
    With that said, everything the forecasters said about Erika did not fall in place. They said that ,it would upgrade to cat. 1 hurricane approaching Florida. Nothing like that.
    With good reasoning they’re only human not GOD, can’t always tell us for sure.
    So people whenever you’ll hear a storm form out there, immediately start taking precaution until it is all clear.

    to all the people who praying to some kind of god in the heavens,this is another sign to you that there is no supreme being in space or anywhere looking down on you and protecting you from no natural disaster,stop being ignorant people and the church which we adopt from our former colonial masters is a big problem cause they keep enforcing this brainwashing ideology on our people which the slave masters use to control the slaves and prevent them from revolting.tell me which god who is so merciful that is gonna send a storm to dusty people and their belongings and is creating storms in the atlantic just for that purpose.i swear they really did a number on us black people
