Gov. Rick Scott Issues State of Emergency For All Counties in Florida Ahead of Hurricane Matthew
NBCMiami ^ | 10/3/16

As Hurricane Matthew churns across the Caribbean, Florida officials are preparing in the event the category 4 storm moves closer toward the Sunshine State.

While visiting the City of Hialeah Emergency Operations Center Monday, Gov. Rick Scott declared a state of emergency for all counties in Florida

Scott signed the executive order to ensure counties have resources for evacuations and shelters.

"If Hurricane Matthew directly impacts Florida, there could be massive destruction which we haven't seen since Hurricane Andrew devastated Miami-Dade County in 1992," said Scott.

The governor also said the National Guard is standing by if needed. He added that officials are taking steps to move additional fuel to the state's east coast.

The eye of the approaching Category 4 hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph as of the 2 p.m. advisory, was expected to pass to the east of Jamaica and then approach the southwestern tip of Haiti late Monday or early Tuesday, the U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

Well America has been the whipping boy of the world. When other nations need help America is the first to be called on. After that, we’re vilified. France is a good example. Twice in a lifetime we came to her aid only to be bashed between wars and then after.

This is true, but for the people to suffer because of what their governments have done is a shame.

>>>Question: What will happen to Israel when America is neutralized?<<<

God has it all figured out . . . He will step in for their defense at just the right time in about seven years from now . . . approximately.

Why do you think Europe is being inundated with muslims that hate the Europeans and their way of life ?

Killing six million of God's Chosen People has its' consequences.

When a majority of the people proclaim “We will have this man to rule over us!” the whole country must accept the consequences - chiefly those that did not vote to make a difference.

There is a biblical correlation to this in the life and kingdom of Saul, whom the people chose. It ended in tragedy and then God picked His man, David.

I admit that it did not end well for David on a personal scale - but he allowed the flesh to rule rather than the spirit of obedience to God. His son following had it even worse (Solomon).

I follow different prophecy people and it’s interesting to see the various takes on end times. Will check yours out as well.

[[Has G-d punished Germany for what that country had done to Jews during the Holocaust? I never mentioned England.]

Germany was destroyed both economically and physically .
It was also divided in half . It wasn’t reunited until after all the leaders during the holocaust were dead.
Germany was punished and half the German had to live under communism where they were shot if they tried to leave.

Once again Germany is siding against the Jewish and look they are being inundated with muslims that hate them. Exactly what they wished on Israel is happening to them .
Merkel is also an East German and grew up behind , she should no better.

There is a strange parallel too behind the Nuremburng trials and the hanging of Haman’s 10 sons in the Book of Esther .

Well, I hope she’ll be safe. Gainesville north of me by about 100 or so miles. We’ll probably catch some wind and, hopefully, not a lot of rain.

Germany is an economic power in Europe. Germany is also unified. Twelve people paid with their lives at the end of WW2 for all they caused plus some doctors and military. Maybe twenty four all told for all the suffering they caused. Then there were those who escaped to Argentina.

I’m in the Charleston area and I’m not looking forward to this at all. The 8:00 update made it appear that the track has slightly drifted to the east and would make impact around Wilmington, NC. We would still get a crap ton of a storm. That is still 5-6 days out so a lot can still happen. I’m hoping it will drift more to the east.

I feel bad for these folks in the Caribbean. They are going to get hit very hard.

Yes, he has. He and his administration just mocked Jerusalem and claims it isn't part of Israel. And who knows what is really going on behind the scenes right now. God alone.

Ironic, or not, check the Latitude of Israel and then check Latitudes of the states that may be in the eye of the storm. People can scoff all they want regarding His warnings. And I hope this is only a warning. Prayers up for everyone in the path! I live in earthquake territory. And there is currently a San Andreas earthquake watch on the West Coast because the Salton Sea has been rumbling like its on the back of a buggy...all coinciding with Obama's anti-Israel statements.

Even in the worst case scenarios. See Luke 13 and the Lord's story of the Tower of Siloam for reference regarding disasters that don't make sense to men's minds.

As I always said, Germany got The Marshall Plan, while Poland got The Marshall Stalin Plan.

Not fair.

Yep. But then, life is not fair either. But in the end, Poland is free as almost Russia is now free-er. No more USSR.

True. At least Poland is still virtually all-Polish, very few Muslims, save for the Tartars who have lived there for centuries, and are well-integrated into Polish society.

[[This is true, but for the people to suffer because of what their governments have done is a shame.]]

God give his people grace during times of suffering , he will also show them favor and protect them.

Take for instance in ancient Israel , Daniel was carried away into captivity with the rest of them. But was shown great favor and used greatly by God while in exile.
It rains on the just and the unjust.
