Cyclone Fani death toll reaches nearly 30 in India and Bangladesh

Cyclone Fani, one of the strongest storms to strike India in the last 20 years, made landfall early Friday morning, local time, pummeling the country’s east coast with the equivalent force of a Category 3 hurricane. Fani is being blamed for at least 28 fatalities, according to Al Jazeera.

A spokesperson with India’s government reported “extensive damage” to houses, old buildings and temporary shops in Puri, a city located in the state of Odisha, according to Asian News International (ANI), as well as a complete loss of power to the area. Officials had been concerned about the welfare of the city’s 858-year-old Jagannath temple during Fani’s onslaught, according to BBC News. India’s National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and state forces worked to clear roads blocked off by downed trees left behind by Fani’s strong winds.

    I Proclaim on the roof top that the “King is coming”! I announce to the ends of the earth, that the “King is coming”. And that the days of Noah are here. “Prepare ye the way of the Lord and make straight his paths.” Tell all the world that I am coming back soon. “I am coming for those who have laid their burdens down”. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
    The Father says: You are not bound, as the grave could not hold me it will not hold you. Amen and sing Halleluiah. For many of you will not die physical deaths. The day has finally come when all that has been foretold in my word will come true. All that you have read about these last days is upon you. You are the last generation and you will see my return. I have told you this before, rejoice, so the mysteries of the past prophets are now being revealed. Everything that I spoke when I spoke with Daniel and with John, it is meant for you now. All the secrets of my kingdom, you will know and all of heaven rejoices that…
