Thousands of residents were ordered to evacuate southwest Sydney, Australia’s biggest city, on Sunday as torrential rain and damaging winds pounded the east coast. Floods were expected to be worse than those that hit the region in the past year.
Heavy rain and overflowing dams and rivers all combined to threaten flash floods and landslides along the east coast from Newcastle down to Batemans Bay in New South Wales state, and rain was expected to intensify on Sunday night.
“If you were safe in 2021, do not assume you will be safe tonight. This is a rapidly evolving situation and we could very well see areas impacted that have never experienced flooding before,” New South Wales Emergency Services Minister Steph Cooke said in a televised media briefing on Sunday evening.
The body of a man who fell out of a kayak was pulled out of Sydney Harbour, police said, adding that the circumstances were under investigation but appeared to be due to the windy conditions.

Isaiah 30: 25-33
In the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall, streams of water will flow on every high mountain and every lofty hill. The moon will shine like the sun, and the sunlight will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven full days, when the Lord binds up the bruises of his people and heals the wounds he inflicted.
See, the Name of the Lord comes from afar, with burning anger and dense clouds of smoke; his lips are full of wrath, and his tongue is a consuming fire. His breath is like a rushing torrent, rising up to the neck. He shakes the nations in the sieve of destruction; he places in the jaws of the peoples a bit that leads them astray.
And you will sing as on the night you celebrate a holy festival; your hearts will rejoice as when people playing pipes go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the Rock of Israel.
The Lord will cause people to hear his majestic voice and will make them see his arm coming down with raging anger and consuming fire, with cloudburst, thunderstorm and hail.
The voice of the Lord will shatter Assyria; with his rod he will strike them down. Every stroke the Lord lays on them with his punishing club will be to the music of timbrels and harps, as he fights them in battle with the blows of his arm.
Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its fire pit has been made deep and wide, with an abundance of fire and wood; the breath of the Lord, like a stream of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.”
Ezekiel 7:6
“This is what the Lord GOD says:
‘Disaster! An unprecedented disaster— behold, it is coming! The end has come! The end has come! It has roused itself against you. Behold, it has come!"
Jeremiah 25:30-33
“Now prophesy all these words against them and say to them:
‘The Lord will roar from on high; he will thunder from his holy dwelling and roar mightily against his land. He will shout like those who tread the grapes, shout against all who live on the earth.
The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth, for the Lord will bring charges against the nations; he will bring judgment on all mankind and put the wicked to the sword,’ declares the Lord.
This is what the Lord Almighty says:
“Look! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”
At that time those slain by the Lord will be everywhere—from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned or gathered up or buried, but will be like dung lying on the ground."
2 Esdras 15: 14-27
"Woe to the world and them that dwell therein! For the sword and their destruction draweth nigh, and one people shall stand up and fight against another, and swords in their hands. For there shall be sedition among men, and invading one another; they shall not regard their kings nor princes, and the course of their actions shall stand in their power.
A man shall desire to go into a city, and shall not be able. For because of their pride the cities shall be troubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and men shall be afraid. A man shall have no pity upon his neighbour, but shall destroy their houses with the sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation.
Behold, saith God, I will call together all the kings of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rising of the sun, from the south, from the east, and Libanus; to turn themselves one against another, and repay the things that they have done to them.
Like as they do yet this day unto my chosen, so will I do also, and recompense in their bosom.
Thus saith the Lord God; My right hand shall not spare the sinners, and my sword shall not cease over them that shed innocent blood upon the earth. The fire is gone forth from his wrath, and hath consumed the foundations of the earth, and the sinners, like the straw that is kindled.
Woe to them that sin, and keep not my commandments! saith the Lord. I will not spare them: go your way, ye children, from the power, defile not my sanctuary. For the Lord knoweth all them that sin against him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and destruction.
For now are the plagues come upon the whole earth and ye shall remain in them: for God shall not deliver you, because ye have sinned against him."
Ezekiel 30:3
"For the day is near, even the day of the Lord is near, a cloudy day; it shall be the time of the heathen."
Isaiah 13: 11-13
"I will punish the world for its evil and the wicked for their iniquity. I will end the haughtiness of the arrogant and lay low the pride of the ruthless. I will make man scarcer than pure gold, and mankind rarer than the gold of Ophir.
Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken from its place at the wrath of the Lord of Hosts on the day of His burning anger."

Preghiamo per l'Australia, per chi è in difficoltà.
**I SAID PRAYERS FOR ALL FAMILY**
wet.
As if tyrannical governments weren't enough. Now the Aussies have to deal with weather modification too!
Rodents, flooding, fires, and the police behaving badly; Australia is becoming a country to avoid.
Anyone really believe that these flooding victims are reading any of these ridiculous ‘thoughts and prayers’ comments from halfway around the world?
Maybe it's Karma , just saying…
More signs of the second coming of Jesus, disasters out of order and could not predict
Nature god unleashed, be nice to each other, be nice to people

death to googles incessant ads raking in millions lets find alternative
Sydney is NOT under water. ‘Greater Sydney’ is underwater, meaning towns on flood plains or near river outside of the city. So much reporting on YouTube from reporters not in the country who mis copy reports for click bait.
We're all in a time where we need and have to learn to save our selves from our selves, and pay our own price and to do that in the material world we have to be willing to go back through the past years of the 21st century and the 20th century, and we don't go back by getting dragged away, and going forward, we go back by staying grounded and going back. We our self are one of a genuine some whom had to do that, being one of many genuine victims, of childhood molestation, and because we our self were not told that what was happening to we our self was wrong, we our self temporarily became sexually active towards other children when we our self were a child, but MIRACULOUSLY!!! due to on and off down to earth, humane non religious counselling, psychiatry and just recently psychology over the past 20/21 years MIRACULOUSLY!!! we our self haven't been sexually active towards, children through out our teens early adult hood even up till now, although it's still taken it's toll on we our self with we our self being suicidal. And so we our self had to inform the police of the wrong our perpetrators had done to us and the wrong we our self did as a child, because the truth would've surfaced one way or another, one of the toughest choices we our self ever had to make, but it was worth it in the end. And that's where the small tiny left over hope lies. Although from our own personal life experience we our self STRONGLY!!!! don't advice church counselling, one of the BIGGEST!!!! mistakes we our self EVER!!!! MADE!!!! WON'T!!!! Be ever doing that again. And realise that no one here gives a damn about our real life story, definitely this infamous dead Greek God Zeus/Jesus didn't give a damn when we our self tried to reach out for him, but of course he was dead at the time. But because the 6th seal was just recently opened, and Zeus/Jesus just recently reincarnated into earth, and Gaia Mother Earth, and Zeus/Jesus are getting their revenge for completely different reasons, things are slowly going to change. But the mental damage and pain has long since been done. Unfortunately history is repeating itself 😥😔
Regular FIRES and FLOODS : WHY? This is what will happen when you kill other people and take over their land and loot their properties and make them your slaves and I’ll treat them. That is the LAW OF KARMA. No one can escape. How much the natives of Australia ( the aborigines) would have suffered in the hands of the European invaders? Will that all go without any repercussions? Unless the perpetrators sincerely feel sorry, ask for forgiveness and do some reparations, there will not be any peace or security for them. There is a very popular old saying in Tamil (India) which means: The king will kill (punish) immediately, but GOD (nature) will kill slowly. This is what it seems to be happening.
If I'm not mistaken but this country openly says that the majority of them are atheists.
I see floods as God's punishment simple as that drown
An international forum was held in May called the Global Crisis. We the People. We want to live. It highlights the problems and causes of climate. Scientists talk about the real causes of climate change and how to solve it. Including the project Creative Society is our only chance.🌍
