As if we didn’t have enough to worry about today here come the severe winds:

Damaging winds around 50 to 60 km/h with peak gusts of 90 to 100 km/h are forecast for the Southern Tablelands and Australian Capital Territory forecast districts and parts of the Illawarra, South West Slopes and Snowy Mountains forecast districts, with gusts of up to 110 km/h possible around the Alpine peaks.

Wind gusts of 105 km/h observed at Cabramurra AWS about 2pm.

The State Emergency Service advises that people should:

— Move vehicles under cover or away from trees.

— Secure or put away loose items around your house, yard and balcony.

— Keep clear of fallen power lines.

For emergency help in floods and storms, ring your local SES Unit on 132 500.

For those who believe in God, The Holy Spirit, Jesus and Our Lady Mary, could you please say prayers for all firefighters safety through NSW, TAS and the A.C.T. along with this prayer for those who do not believe and may wish to say one for them along with people under surge, not knowing The Our Father, asking for the cessation now of all winds and for soaking rains now for all of January through all States of Australia.

Our Father who Art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name, Thy Kingdom come, Thy Will be done, on Earth as it is in Heaven, give us this day, our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, Amen.

Let’s do something useful instead.

What happened to “thine is the kingdom,” and the power and the glory bits?

Let me translate:

“I shall wail empty words into the ether, begging a non-existant deity to correct the problems that I believe he created in the first place for reasons unknown to me. This will do absoultely nothing but will enable me to appear caring and useful when in fact I am doing nothing more than feeding my ravenous ego”

There, all fixed..

I think science and technology will help the lads far more. Maybe instead make some donations to the appropriate places so the guys can be better equipped next time around? That’s what I do.

Are you sure that these present conditions aren’t just a cleansing of our society from the evildoers? Just like the old days when the Almighty smote our enemies with fire from heaven, this may be a sign of things to come – Armageddon perhaps?
