Again, we have had major tornadoes that coincide with high-level U.S. official’s peace meetings on Israel. This pattern has repeated itself or has also happened when President Clinton or President Bush were directly involved in the peace talks.
Super cells with enormous size and power spawned the following major record-breaking tornadoes. When Israel’s land and property is at risk, the same is true for the land and property of the United States.
May 3, 1999 – Major Tornado Swarm and 316 MPH Record Wind Speed:
MSNBC stated the November 10-11, 2002 storms sparked the largest tornado swarm since May 3, 1999. Here is what happened on May 3, 1999. The Powerful Super Tornado occurred on the day that Yasser Arafat was scheduled to declare a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as the capital. This was the most powerful tornado storm system ever to hit the United States. It swept across Oklahoma and Kansas and the winds were clocked at 316 mph -- the fastest wind speed ever recorded.
Arafat’s declaration was postponed from May 3 until December 1999, at the request of President Clinton. The Clinton letter to Arafat encouraged him in his "aspirations for his own land." Clinton also wrote that the Palestinians have a right to "determine their own future on their own land" and that they deserve to "live free, today, tomorrow and forever."
April 30, 2002 - F-5 Tornado:
President George W. Bush and the State Department Negotiate Arafat’s Release from Ramallah Compound – F5 Tornado in Maryland
On Sunday, April 28, the United States brokered a deal with Israel, arranging for Arafat to be released from his Ramallah compound. Early Sunday, a series of tornadoes swept through southeastern Missouri, Illinois and western Kentucky, killing three people and severely damaging homes and commercial buildings. The tornado that hit Maryland were part of a storm system with heavy rain, high winds and damaging hail that rumbled east from the Ohio Valley. The Maryland storm was an F5 tornado on the Fujita Tornado Damage Scale, and was called "a monster of a tornado." With winds in the 261-318 mph range, it is said to be the strongest tornado ever to hit Maryland.
November 10-11, 2002 - 88 Tornadoes:
The weekend of November 10-11, 2002 we heard about and observed enormous storms and tornadoes that hit thirteen US states. MSNBC reported there were at least 35 people in five states killed and 200 others injured. In Tennessee alone, 100 homes were destroyed and 1,000 damaged. AP reported there were eighty-eight tornadoes with that count still climbing. There were also major thunderstorms reported from the Gulf Coast to the Great Lakes.
On Sunday, November 10, 2002, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State David Satterfield was on his way to Israel to apply pressure on Israel to complete their work and comments on the Quartet’s “road map” to peace. He had numerous meetings on Monday and Tuesday with Israeli officials. He also met Sunday with Palestinians officials.
May 3-5, 2003 – 83 Tornadoes
On Saturday, May 3, U.S. Secretary of State Colin told Syrian President Bashar Assad that the U.S. commitment to Middle East peace "would include Syria and Lebanon, and would include the Golan Heights," particularly sensitive issue for Syria.
On Sunday, May 4, it was reported that Secretary Powell is expected to visit Israel on Saturday for talks about implementing the Road Map peace plan, an Israeli Foreign Ministry official said.
Also on Sunday a deadly swarm of tornadoes ripped through eastern Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee, killing at least 38 people and doing extensive damage to homes and buildings. It was "the most devastating series of tornadoes we've ever had in the state of Missouri," Gov. Bob Holden said after walking the rubble-strewn streets of Pierce City, where eight of the missing were from.
On Monday, May 5, less than 24-hours from the 83 tornadoes and the Powell news, U.S. Middle East envoy William Burns said in a meeting with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) in the West Bank city of Ramallah, the Palestinians must carry out a decisive fight against terrorism and Israelis must halt settlement activity.

US Secretary of State Colin Powell is expected to visit Israel on Saturday for talks about implementing the Road Map peace plan, an Israeli Foreign Ministry official said.
The official said that Powell was expected to arrive in the country on Saturday night, May 10.
Shalom is postponing a planned trip to Russia in order to meet with Powell, the official said. The Russia trip was to have taken place next Sunday.
The official spoke as Powell's envoy, Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs William Burns met with Shalom at his office in Jerusalem.
Burns was expected to brief Shalom about Powell's trip last week to Syria, and Damascus' agreement to shut the offices of Palestinian terrorist groups in its midst.
Meanwhile the Israeli cabinet was debating the Road Map, a plan that calls for achieving Palestinian statehood and a cessation of terrorism, which the US formally presented to Israeli and Palestinian leaders last week.

KANSAS CITY, Missouri (CNN) --Residents and authorities were assessing damage Monday from a deadly swarm of tornadoes that ripped through eastern Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Tennessee, killing at least 38 people, emergency management officials said.
Eighty-three twisters were sighted in central and southeastern states Sunday evening, said Dick Hainje, a regional director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
"This is a huge, huge outbreak," Hainje said Monday. "Once in a while, you'll get like two or maybe three super cells with very big tornadoes, but numbers like this are extremely rare." Officials said seven people died in Kansas, about 20 in Missouri and at least 11 in Tennessee. Other people thought to be in the storm's path were reported missing. No deaths were reported in Arkansas.
In Lawrence County, Missouri, an estimated 12 fatalities were reported, along with extensive damage, according to Sheriff Doug Seneker. The tornado cut across the southeastern corner of the county Sunday at 6:25 p.m. CDT (7:25 p.m. EDT) and stayed on the ground half an hour, passing through the heart of Pierce City.
From Kansas and Missouri, the line of storms moved east through Arkansas and into Tennessee, leaving a swath of destruction, deaths and injuries. "This is all one big storm system," said Rich Thompson, a lead forecaster with the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma.
Thompson said the storms were caused by dry air from the Rocky Mountains hitting moist air from the Gulf of Mexico.
"There have been multiple super cell thunderstorms coming off of that, and may have been producing tornadoes," Thompson said. The storm was likely to churn up more dangerous weather on Monday, experts said.
Tornado watches were posted Monday morning from Knoxville, Tennessee, south into Georgia and central Alabama.
Weather Service officials will not know the category of the storms until they do a site survey, said Ryan Jewell, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service. "But just unofficially, views of the storm damage appear to be in the range of F3 or higher," he said, referring to the scientific Fujita scale that measures tornado strength.
F3 tornadoes have winds of between 158 and 206 miles per hour and are capable of severe damage, with roofs and some walls torn off well-constructed houses, and most trees uprooted. F5 is the highest on the scale.
Burns: Palestinians must fight terror, Israel halt settlements

Palestinians must carry out a decisive fight against terrorism and Israelis must halt settlement activity, U.S. Middle East envoy William Burns said Monday in a meeting with Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) in the West Bank city of Ramallah, Channel One television reported.
"On the Palestinian side this means there's absolutely no substitute, no substitute, for a decisive fight against terror and violence," Burns told reporters following the Ramallah meeting.
"On the Israeli side it also means taking practical steps to ease the suffering of Palestinians living under occupation, to stop the settlement activity and to renew a sense of dignity and hope," he added.
Burns' talks with Abu Mazen indicate the U.S. is maintaining a diplomatic freeze on formal contacts with PA Chairman Yasser Arafat.
Excerpt:
Ha-ha-ha. That's not me laughing, that's Heaven laughing, for as the Yiddish expression goes (after translation, that is), Man plans and G-d laughs. In fact, someone wrote me and told me that George Bush would have attacked Afghanistan earlier had weather conditions not delayed him until the 22nd day of Tishrei.
I can't confirm that fact yet, but it doesn't matter anyhow. The fact is that after weeks of preparation and deliberation, George Bush Jr. finally let loose on Sunday, October 7th. However, according to the Jewish calendar in Israel, it was already (just barely) Monday, 22 of Tishrei - Hoshana Rabbah - the one day of the year that G-d judges the gentile nations as well as the Jewish people.
One person tried to convince me the other day that the Teimani pronunciation of the word "Gog," is to say the "g" (gimmel in Hebrew), the same way we do when we say "George." Then, something happened to the "r" (raish in Hebrew) sound along the way, though I can't remember what. But, when he was finished, we had "Gog m'Gog" (George Bush Jr., son of George Bush Sr.).
It was a nice try, but for all we know, it is true. After all, it is unusual that the son should be president two terms later, just when another conflict in the Middle-East and Asia has quickly duplicated his own father's dilemma. And, it is even more unusual that the son should have the same name as the father, "George."
How we take subtle historical coincidences for granted, and brush them off easily only because they are not blatant enough four our liking. It's like taking an exam in school, and then getting up and going over to the examiner to complain, "Hey! I don't like this question. It doesn't indicate enough what the answer is!" You have to appreciate that point, because it could have happened during Clinton's era, but didn't, as if it was waiting for George Bush Jr. to get into the White House, something he did only after great controversy. We forgot about that one already, didn't we? From a Torah point of view, such "suspense" is always a sign that Heaven is directly involved in the event in question, and that we, the Jewish people, are being given a chance to wake up and do teshuvah. The results, we are being told, are being made dependent upon our choice. Not that I'm saying that Al Gore would have been the better choice. Apparently there is a tradition that the Great Wall of China was also called the "Wall of Al Magog." Isn't his father's name George, also?

Ezekiel 38
18 "And it will come to pass at the same time, when Gog comes against the land of Israel," says the Lord GOD, "that My fury will show in My face. 19 For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken: "Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel, 20 so that the fish of the sea, the birds of the heavens, the beasts of the field, all creeping things that creep on the earth, and all men who are on the face of the earth shall shake at My presence. The mountains shall be thrown down, the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.'
George Bush Sr. Gulf War I, The Madrid Conference/Land for peace, The Perfect Storm, 'It's the economy'
George Bush Jr. Gulf War II, The Road Map/Land for peace, Storms... what economy?
Gog is George
Other branches of the U.S. Military participated in the opening phase..but the Navy would be your..."Hammer" so to speak.
Something that caught my attention..was the return of the Aircraft Carriers..which are symbolic of Americas Military Primacy and Geostrategic projection.
Carriers put into port...storms break out.
Things to ponder.
No, in a remarkable coincidence, Albert Gore, Jr.'s, father's name was Albert Gore, Sr.
OUTBREAK OF STRONG TORNADOES EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND LOWER MISSOURI VALLEY
Such coincidences can only be arranged by God, who also arranges peace talks to occur in the tornado-active months of May and November.
I just did a google search on tornado outbreaks, and the whole first page came up with April and May dates. For November, I got outbreaks in 1900, 1992, 1993 and 2002 -- all in the first page of results.
