Hurricane Sandy kills 21 across Caribbean

Hurricane Sandy raged through the Bahamas early Friday after leaving 21 people dead across the Caribbean, following a path that could see it blend with a winter storm and reach the U.S. East Coast as a super-storm next week.

Sandy knocked out power, flooded roads and cut off islands in the storm-hardened Bahamas as it swirled past Cat Island and Eleuthera, but authorities reported no deaths in the scattered archipelago.

“Generally people are realizing it is serious,” said Caroline Turnquest, head of the Red Cross in the Bahamas, who said 20 shelters were opened on the main island of New Providence.

    We should be greatful that Sandy did not come Dominica. God is still talking to us. We must Love One Another. Not when disaster is happening we need God. We need him in the’ Good Times’ and The’ Bad Times’. We need to stop the violance, and all the Abonable things we are doing. Blessed is the Nation whose God is the Lord. Sandy missed, but we should not think God is not coming to punish us for our d
    Disobedience and Hard Headiness. Love!

    Sandy is a result of weather weaponization. The objective is to delay the presidential election in the U.S. If they can cause havoc in 5 states, the eastern ones look to be hit, then they will call a delay in the election. This is the October Surprise. And yes they can cause earthquakes and cause or stop hurricanes.

      Look up ‘Krakatoa’.
      Realize that was over a hundred years ago.
      Look up the black plague.
      Over 500 years ago.
      Doomsday predictions were more valid centuries ago than they are now. As a matter of fact we are pretty well of now compared to some of the stuff that happened before. Thanks to marvels of science and engineering we are able to better prevent or manage disasters. What we really have to worry about now is overpopulation because so many more people are surviving.
