    And they say climate change doesn't exist.

    A few months ago the residents of Fernley, Nevada suffered a flood due to partially collapsed levees caused by,hang on to your hats,--------burrowing muskrats---or so the engineers claim. What's going on here. If their claim is real maybe we should use our ingenuity to get this prolific rodent on the endangered species list; or more humanely rounded up and transported to happy muskrat swamp grounds.

    The Mississippi flood which include the flood at Iowa and subsequently those in Illinois was God's disapproval of Obama as presidential candidate. The flood at Illinois on June 18, 2008 was especially serious. The flood water has broken many dikes and levees. Iowa was the first state in the primary presidential election for Obama and Illinois is Obama's home state. In May 2008 when the Democrat governor of Oklahoma endorsed Obama, in two days tornadoes on Oklahoma killed 100 people and destroyed $1 billion of properties. This had confirm that there is a God/Environment and He is against Obama. God even hates the aphabet "O". The fact that Iowa similar "I. O. Wa." or "I. O. U." probably means the Black community may have owed Washington or the U. S government or the American people in general something very important. What they are, many of you should be able to determine yourselves? I am here only to help you understand the messages from the Environment so that future disasters can be averted. Future disasters to the U. S. will certainly confirm my prophecy.

    In addition to what have described below, the flood at Iowa and subsequently those in Illinois was the disapproval of Obama as presidential candidate. The flood at Illinois on June 18, 2008 was especially serious. The flood water has broken many dikes and levees. Iowa was the first state in the primary presidential election for Obama and Illinois is Obama's home state. In May 2008 when the Democrat governor of Oklahoma endorsed Obama, in two days tornadoes on Oklahoma killed 100 peopel and destroyed $1 billion of properties. This had confirm that there is a God/Environment and He is against Obama. God even hates the aphabet "O". Further future disasters to the U. S. will certainly confirm my prophecy.

    Nowadays, disasters such as the current flood in Iowa are usually messages from God and Environment. In this case it has something to do with the debt U. S. A. owes which need to repaid China. Since Iowa or "I. O. Wa" with "wa" or "hua" ( ??? ) meaning China. This is the intention of God /Environment is for the United States to be punished and suffered from American atrocities against the more than one innocent Chinese killed in North Korean during the Korean War of 1950-1953. The American purpose for that war was for world domination which is not justifiable. The explosion of the battle ship Iowa during the 1990s has confirmed my prophecy. Further disasters to the U. S. in the future will also confirm this prophecy. It is better for the U. S. to negotiate with China now to repay its debt to China than to wait for more disasters to happen.

      II's difficult to stop laughing when a communist doper makes attempts to post a "thought". Logic tells us, that fan-chor-cheung is DNA challeneged and a graduate of the 3rd grade in public communist taught school. Using this lot lizards lack of intellegence, if the flooding in the mid-west of the USA, is a repayment of GOD how much more does GOD feel impassioned to punish China for the millions of innocent Chinese, men, women and children that have been slaughtered in cold blood and on TV by the comminist party, afterall are we not as a world witness, to the cyclones, earthquakes, mine explosions, tsunamis, flooding and the failure of Chinese dams? I would in the strongest terms possible, suggest that after you get the obvious necessary drug treatment, that you return to school sober and straight, and make a real effort to learn the true facts and hisory of the world. The world can hardly afford another intellectual midget like Al Gore.

      Had the USA had any plan whatsoever, to "RULE THE WORLD", it would have done so long ago period.

      We give thanks to GOD that fan-chor-cheung is not representative of the Chinese people or any other people on the face of this planet.

      One cannot find a country that has not made its share of mistakes, or erred in judgement, but America stands alone in standing for freedom, human dignity, and the rights of man, as granted not by man but by GOD.

      Or...it might be due to the tons of carbon dioxide that both your country and mine (and I will definitely agree that my country has been the worse offender) are pumping furiously into the air, causing atmospheric heating, more moisture evaporated into the atmosphere, increased rainfall once that moisture rises far enough to cool into clouds and precipitation, which then result in rushing and raging river flow?

      "Prophecy" often isn't. While I don't necessarily disbelieve in God or divinity, I believe, if anything, that this divinity works through the processes of nature and scientific principle. Evolution resulted in logic and analytical abilities, that, just maybe, are the qualities *given* by God through evolutionary offices, so to speak, in order to observe and predict the world around us...

      And, honestly, "wa"/"hua" meaning China? Chinese is transcribed in a different script, and it's tonal anyway (pitch changes the word), which means any attempt to cross-analyze the two for linguistic similarity is apples and oranges. (Or, to put it another way, complete imagination.)

    It's the weather people! I find it amazing that we act so put out cause mother nature keeps doing her business even though we (posh) live there! It's been going on for millions of years in cycles and will continue to do so. We're fleas....we're giving ourselves WAY too much credit.

      The river in Cedar Rapids crested *six feet* above its historic high. We've now seen severe flooding and thunderstorms causing property damage in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Missouri, Vermont, South Carolina, Minnesota, New Jersey, Mississippi, and Nebraska. There's also been severe flooding in Guadalajara, Mexico...Pradesh, India...and China's Sichuan province (in that case displacing more than 1,000,000 people). And central England flooded badly last summer.

      Though it's apparent from your double-post that you at least tried to keep the bullying out of it - thank you for excising "get a clue" - rivers cresting six feet above historic highs definitely imply that something *could be* up. Usually they'll crest inches over a historic high, not feet.

      We may be "fleas", but there are a lot of us. And a bad enough flea infestation can become a serious health threat. I urge you to open your mind a bit and at least consider the possibility of carbon-emission-related climate change, the theory of which is supported by a majority of climate scientists worldwide.

    It's the weather folks....been happening for millions of years we just over populated the place and are so amazed that silly little mother nature could not realize we LIVE there. Get a clue!!!

    Nowadays, disasters are usually a message from God or Environment. A disaster in Iowa mean the U. S. A. owes China something very important which need to be repaid. It is more than likely the millions of innocent Chinese killed in North Korean during the Korean War 1950-1953 simply because the U. S. wanted to dominate the world. Iowa meaning "I O Wa", Wa or hua ??? means China. Addition disasters in the future will certainly confirm my prophecy.
