Nature’s Wrath in Island of Penang and World Weather

The Tower that fell from a Building Yesterday, 13th June, 2013 the island of Penang (my adopted hometown) had never seen such a ferocious storm and wind speed estimated at about 50km/hr could do so much damage in less than an hour. There were 2 fatalities and 9 reported injured that required medical attention. An 80-foot telecommunications tower was toppled off the 21- storey Menara UMNO building that killed a passing lorry driver. Several trees were felled and broken branches were seen in almost all the roads that had the trees intact. Massive traffic jams all over the island and ambulances and Fire Brigade siren were blaring. Something like 23 places in the Island had up-rooted trees. Within minutes after the storm scaled down , I went to escort my family home but was caught in a massive gridlock as we passed by fallen trees and a small landslip. The incredible quick response from the rescue teams are to be praised. Members of the public too had lend a helping hand, drenched in the rain, to divert traffic, remove debris and rescued those hurt.

Now let us take a look at what happened throughout the World so far in Year of the Snake, 2013. To save me from writing, please see the Video report, which is an excellent summary of the World situation. But first, let me Speak. Mother Earth is cleansing the negativity that had accumulated over the decades as gently as She could, I tell you. It could be far worse. This is the message I received. Notice that Earthquakes that had occurred so far had not claimed hundreds of thousands of lives in any reported episodes thus far, although several lives had been lost. Many of the epicentres were under sea and yet no resulting tsunamis occurred. We should also thank the Holy men of remote areas who are always meditating for peace, safety and prevention of unnecessary loss of lives from acts of Nature. I have also done my contribution via my daily meditations and prayers despite being busy in a modern lifestyle. However, do heed my call for preparing with food and water that can last at least for 1 to 2 weeks. You may need it before the Year of the Water Snake leaves.
