Oh Good, Hurricanes Are Now Made of Microplastics
When Hurricane Larry made landfall two years ago, it dropped over 100,000 microplastics per square meter of land per day. It’s another ominous sign of how plasticized the environment has become.
GoFundMe for students in Caribbean
My former classmates' homes have been affected by the hurricane in the Caribbean, losing their homes and having little to no supplies available for them. I'd appreciate if people can spread this link and donate if they can to help them out.

Me, reading: Huh, hurricanes with female names tend to be deadlier than those with male names. That's weird. The list of names is decided in advance so it's not like they're being named after the fact and it doesn't make any sense for an arbitrary name to be influencing a hurricane so what....

Paranoia, pt. 1: A tale of two hurricanes
Over the next few days I'm going to do something a little different - I'm going to tell a story about myself. It's rather dark, and certainly not my usual blog fare. However, not a lot of people know about it (it's not a story that gets brought up in casual conversation, after all). I wanted to get it out there so that people can understand me a little bit better, because it still affects my decisions today. So, without further ado:
*ahem*
The year was 2004. A tiny little hurricane developed in the Gulf of Mexico; forecasters dubbed it "Katrina." No one thought anything of it until it grew enormously in size and headed for New Orleans, Louisiana. You likely know this story, of how it flooded thousands of homes, cost many lives, and crashed the entire city in one fell swoop.
That storm did not affect my area at all. In fact, my family had just moved away from New Orleans, far from the war path of this beast of a storm. However, my dad, who was (still is) in the National Guard, was sent out with the rest of his company to rescue and rebuild. He's got lots of stories from then, about the "toxic gumbo" (aka the incredibly nasty flood water) and houses that were simultaneously flooded and on fire.
At about the same time, another hurricane came up from the Gulf toward our area. It wasn't nearly as big as Katrina, of course, but it was large enough for us to evacuate. My dad was still stationed in NO, but my mom and I left with some church friends bound for safe living arrangements. I remember riding in a truck hauling an RV, doing my homeschool work in the back seat, and chatting with the other travelers when I was done (or staring at the GPS pretending the arrow was firing lasers). I also remember arriving at our destination late at night, thunder in the distance, as it was kind of stormy there too.
...That's actually the last thing I remember for about a week's time. Next thing I knew I was at another city where my dad was temporarily stationed, staying in a trailer for two weeks, before we would head home to find that everything was okay... except for me. I was not okay. I was afraid of everything.
The whole situation snapped me in half. My mom remembers me being unable to sleep and being worried that the people we were staying with were poisoning our food. If that sounds crazy, it's because I was slowly going mad; my imagination was scaring me to death, and I developed a serious paranoia problem. Even where my memory picks up - at the other city we were staying at - it's not pretty.
The first instance that I can remember of this new paranoia problem I developed was at Wal*Mart, of all places. A lot of people were being called to the front, and I was worried that they were calling random customers up to brainwash them or kill them or something evil. I had my first panic attack because of all this, where I nearly fainted several times while simultaneously stifling screams that I was about to die.
I really wish I were making this up. Between worrying about poisoned food at any new restaurant we ate at, worrying about horrible things that any stranger could do, and finally the panic attacks that immobilized me in terror, I was a paranoid mess.
Finally, after two or three weeks of living hell for both me and my parents, we finally went home to see that nothing horrible had happened after all. In fact, a tree that by all laws of physics should have fallen on our house, miraculously landed parallel to it. But I wasn't really afraid of the hurricane itself that whole time, I was just afraid of anything - and because of that, the paranoia lingered for a while.
The Day After Tomorrow: The Superstorm that Will Set Off a New Ice Age
Just like the 2004 science fiction disaster film “The Day After Tomorrow,” the Bible also predicts the coming of a superstorm at the end of days that will set off catastrophic natural disasters throughout the world and lead to a new ice age!

Revelation 8.7-12:
The first angel blew his trumpet, and there
came hail and fire, mixed with blood, and
they were hurled to the earth; and a third of
the earth was burned up, and a third of the
trees were burned up, and all green grass
was burned up. The second angel blew his
trumpet, and something like a great
mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into
the sea. A third of the sea became blood, a
third of the living creatures in the sea died,
and a third of the ships were destroyed. The
third angel blew his trumpet, and a great
star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch,
and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the
springs of water. The name of the star is
Wormwood. A third of the waters became
wormwood, and many died from the water,
because it was made bitter. The fourth
angel blew his trumpet, and a third of the
sun was struck, and a third of the moon,
and a third of the stars, so that a third of

was kept from shining, and likewise the
night.

Do you guys think that like the eye of a hurricane, the spiral has an eye as well, and that the just for a moment it’s beautiful? And do you think Helen and Michael saw it ?
Tucking the baby squash in for the storm. Hopefully the straw will help protect against soil erosion.
