Sunday JUNE 29, 2008   Yea saith the Lord for what I have saith God I have in abundance, not like the world who must strive for everything it obtains, for I am the creator of all things, and they must create their own things saith God, for I will not provide for them as I provide for you, so reach out now in these last days to me with all that you have within you saith God, for I have everything that you would need, saith the Lord.

Sunday JUNE 15, 2008  Yea saith the Lord, Oh America how you have struggled saith God, how you have tried and strived to maintain your relationship with me, but your leaders America have not maintained their relationship with me saith the Lord, they have gone as far from me as one can get saith God, they have embraced the evil one, my enemy, they worship the things of darkness, they meet in secret places, and they praise the Gods of darkness saith God, and because of this America my wrath shall come upon thee saith the Lord, I shall pour out my wrath upon thee America and you will feel the result of the sin of your leaders, even those that are mine shall be touched by what is poured out, though they shall not be destroyed by it saith God, for I have you in my hand and in my hands you are safe saith the Lord.

U.SA. - OHIO - June 2008 officially became THE SOGGIEST JUNE ON RECORD, courtesy of 0.66 of an inch of rain on Saturday that boosted the month’s total at Port Columbus to 9.92 inches.

USA - MISSOURI - Hot temperatures from the south and cool temperatures from the northwest have been colliding. And that's led to UNPRECEDENTED RAINFALL in Missouri. During the last six months, Missouri averaged more than 30 inches of rain and all of that water is taking its toll. "The situation has been fairly dire, its frustrating for farmers. I think what's been UNIQUE about this spring pattern is that we've had not only significant rainfall but it's been occurring frequently. And there have been very few windows of opportunity for producers to get in their field and complete planting." This July could be one of the wettest they've ever seen. The forecasts over the next few weeks will dictate whether the flooding will continue. Missouri's second wettest July on record was in 1993, when the state had its worst flooding.

USA - MARYLAND - Storms that have hammered the Tri-State area in recent weeks continued Saturday night, this time hitting Berkeley County with winds clocked at 68 mph. In the southern Berkeley County town of Gerrardstown, winds whipped utility poles, requiring Allegheny Energy crews to replace 13 poles. It was UNUSUAL to have that many poles damaged. “Exactly what hit there, I’m not sure. It was some pretty violent weather." A National Weather Service spokesman said the area experienced a “micro downburst,” which causes strong winds as a result of a cloud collapsing.

Calif. firefighters battle more than 1,400 blazes

The good news in northern California is that more than a thousand wildfires aren't growing.

The bad news: There's no relief in sight.

No new major fires had broken out Sunday as fire crews inched closer to getting some of the largest of 1,420 blazes surrounded, according to the state Office of Emergency Services.

Some 364,600 acres? or almost 570 square miles? have burned.

5 Million Acres of Corn, Soybeans May Be Lost to Floods

The cresting Mississippi River washed over more flood barriers on Saturday but drier weather fed hopes of relief as the worst Midwest floods in 15 years added to billion-dollar losses, global food inflation fears and the political temperature in a U.S. election year.

Posted JULY 1, 2008 -----------------------------

USA - floods may boost food prices for years - Levees on the cresting Mississippi River held today as the worst US Midwest flooding in 15 years began to ebb, but multibillion-dollar crop losses may boost world food prices for years.

PHILIPPINES - a "food shortage" looms in the next one to two months after the massive floods due to typhoon "Frank" (international codename: Fengshen) devastated farm lands and livestock in the Western Visayas. One of the affected provinces, Iloilo, is one of the top three rice-producing provinces in the country. The floods destroyed 22 hectares or rice lands, equivalent to 66,000 metric tons of rice, and "almost wiped out" livestock and fisheries in the region. In Cadiz town in Negros Occidental, the storm destroyed half a billion pesos worth of fishing boats. Water systems destroyed by the storm have not been repaired.

USA - HUNGRY?: Demand at US food banks has skyrocketed recently as the economic downturn starts to bite.

In the richest nation on earth, a rising number of people line up for free food because they are struggling to put meals on the table at home.

Demand at food banks in the United States is up 15 per cent to 20 per cent over last year and many food banks are having difficulty coping, according to America's Second Harvest, the largest US food bank provider with 200 in its network.

The banks say more people with steady jobs are turning up at their centers to wait in line, fill out forms and collect rations of free or reduced-price food. In a parallel development demand for government food stamps is also rising.

"Having a (low wage) job isn't enough anymore. Having two or three jobs isn't enough anymore," said Marcia Paulson, spokeswoman for Great Plains Food Bank in North Dakota, where nearly half the households receiving food stamp benefits have one or more working adults.

Sunday February 10, 2008  Yea saith the Lord, for upon the earth comes distress of nations, as the earth watches with perplexity the things that come up on the earth, for they are shaken, and amazed, and dismayed at the same time saith God, for they do not understand, and they cannot understand because they are thinking with the minds of men, but if they will think with a mind after me saith the Lord, it will be revealed unto them the days that they live in, the last days, the end times that are upon the earth, for what can be shaken will be shaken, for even as spring comes the warmth will increase, the heat will become unbearable, and upon the earth will come drought again, water will be in short supply, money will be in short supply, food will be in short supply, all these things are the beginning of sorrows saith the Lord.

PORTUGAL - The National meteorological institute has revealed that this summer is expected to be ONE OF THE HOTTEST IN THE LAST 25 YEARS. Temperatures for June, July and August are expected to be 0.5 degrees above average, with the highest likely to be recorded in central and southern Portugal. “If the predictions are correct then we could have a very serious situation, similar to that of 2003 when 1,953 people died because of the heat.” As well as high temperatures, the meteorological institute also alerts to high levels of ultra violet (UV) radiation, which is measured on a scale from the lowest level of one to the highest level of 11. The UV levels for the Algarve are expected to remain at a minimum of Very High (between eight and 10) this summer.

USA - CALIFORNIA - Expert says drought to continue 9 more years - From measurements of the height of the Pacific from space, it tells him the climate here is in trouble. The scientist has gone beyond the annual fluctuations of El Nino and La Nina. He measures the changing height of the ocean over a five- to 20-year range and sees what he calls a Pacific Decadal Oscillation. Over about a 10-year period, the elevation of vast tracts of the ocean will change and where it was higher and warmer becomes lower and cooler and vice versa. This oscillation has a powerful bearing on global warming and can dramatically reinforce the behavior of El Nino and La Nina, dampening or reinforcing their behavior. The last nine years are consecutively THE NINE DRIEST IN A CENTURY, and that can be traced to the oscillation. "We haven't had a big El Nino in a decade." He predicted temperatures will continue to rise in the region. Even in cooler years such as the one they are in now, temperatures will spike for a few days, resulting in dangerous triple-digit temperatures and heavy water use. He says a crisis is looming, and the only solution is for all of us to reduce water consumption by 50%. Golf courses are a major culprit. They absorb heat rather than reflect it back into space. Global warming has pushed the jet stream farther north, and there is less snow pack. He hopes we can control our thirst, but he has reservations. "The world is getting dumber."

Fierce weather hits Mid-West areas

Severe storms with strong winds swept through the Plains, forcing swimmers practicing for U.S. Olympic trials in Omaha to flee pools and run for cover, killing 2 people in Iowa, and knocking out power to thousands.

The storm's winds may have reached 100 mph in some areas and damage reports in Iowa included hail the size of baseballs.

Posted JUNE 27, 2008 -----------------------------

Microburst hits Central Florida

Residents in Lake County are cleaning up damage from a strong storm system that moved across Central Florida. A microburst moved through Groveland, causing reports of downed trees and power lines.

"The winds just came so fast, and the trees just laid right over, bent to the ground, and I thought at first it was a tornado because it was just tearing things up," one witness said.

"It was one of the most severe storms we've had in about four years here," said the Deputy Fire Chief.

Drinking water contaminated from Midwest flood

Nancy Hall, who is in charge of testing water for bacterial contamination and has worked at the University of Iowa Hygienic Laboratory in Iowa City for 30 years, believes 2008 is the worst flood she's ever dealt with. The bacterial contamination found so far is basically E. coli and fecal material.

In the Quad-City area alone, about 500 private wells in Scott County may have been contaminated by floodwaters, officials estimate. The wells can serve just 1 home or an entire neighborhood.

North UK areas to boil water

Britons living in the north of England have been warned that they must boil tap water before using it because the water is contaminated with a potentially serious stomach bug.

As many as 108,000 homes in Northampton, Daventry and nearby villages are affected and 250,000 people face weeks of boiling tap water after the stomach bug Cryptosporidium was found following tests.

Supermarkets have had to ration sales of bottled water as customers began panic buying and cleared the shelves of stocks.

California water shortage…crop losses

Workers prematurely killed 1 almond grove and are frantically digging new wells to save the remaining almond crop. Their neighbors are walking away from 1,600 acres of cotton to salvage tomatoes.

Water shortages in California, coupled with high fuel costs, mean customers can expect rising prices for some fruits and vegetables, particularly melons, canned tomatoes, and perhaps lettuce.

The state is estimating crop losses of $167 million for 2008, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.

USA - A new round of storms dumped a half foot (15 cm) or more of rain across parts of the U.S. Midwest on Wednesday, dealing fresh trouble to a region already struggling with billions of dollars in flood damage. 

The bad news came as a key farm group estimated U.S. crop damage this year had hit $8 billion nationwide, most of it in the key Midwest growing areas of the world's biggest grain and food exporter amid the worst flooding in 15 years. 

The new storms that soaked Missouri on Wednesday closed roads and sent smaller streams out of their banks, pushing more water into the basin that feeds both the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers, just as the Mississippi was cresting, or about to, in areas upstream from St. Louis. 

A new flood warning was issued for parts of the Missouri River in parts of Missouri from Jefferson City east to St. Louis. Lack of flood waters on the Missouri has been one of the key reasons this month's flooding was rated not as bad yet as the record flooding levels seen in 1993. 

A railroad bridge near Columbus Junction, Iowa, collapsed late on Tuesday, injuring one rail worker. A locomotive and two rail cars fell into the still-flooded Iowa River. The cars had been placed on the bridge to stabilize it during flooding. 

Fears about the short supplies of basic food and feedstuffs have ignited more alarms about rising world food inflation even as oil and energy prices also set records. Since late May when heavy rains hit Missouri, Illinois, Iowa, Indiana and Wisconsin, about three dozen levees have failed along the Mississippi River, covering rich and valuable bottom land and emerging crops with muddy water. 

More than 13 million sandbags have been handed out in the region, a quantity that if placed end-to-end would stretch from San Francisco to Washington, D.C.

CALIFORNIA - In less than a day, an electrical storm unleashed nearly 8,000 lightning strikes that set more than 800 wildfires across Northern California — a RARE example of "dry lightning" that brought little or no rain but plenty of sparks to the state's parched forests and grasslands. 

The weekend storm was UNUSUAL not only because it generated so many lightning strikes over a large geographical area, but also because it struck so early in the season and moved in from the Pacific Ocean. Such storms usually don't arrive until late July or August and typically from southeast of California. 

"You're looking at a pattern that's CLIMATOLOGICALLY RARE. We typically don't see this happen at this time of summer. To see 8,000, that's way up there on the scale." Despite the many lightning strikes that hit the ground on Saturday alone, the weekend thunderstorm brought little precipitation because the rain evaporated in hot, dry layers of the atmosphere before it hit the ground. 

The lightning storm struck California when the state was experiencing one of its driest years on record. From San Francisco to Los Angeles, cities have only seen a tiny fraction of the rainfall they normally receive in a typical year. 

In the Central Valley, the cities of Sacramento, Modesto, Stockton and Red Bluff have recorded their driest March-to-May periods since at least the 19th century. Even before the lightning struck, California had already seen an UNUSUALLY large number of wildfires, although the fire season typically does not start until July and does not peak until late summer or early fall. 

"This doesn't bode well for the fire season. We're not even into the meat of the fire season at this point, and the brush is extremely dry. It's not going to get any better, it's going to get worse." 

The weekend's lighting storm combined with extremely dry conditions to spark about 840 separate blazes. By contrast, 574 lightning-sparked fires blackened about 55,000 acres in Northern California in all of 2007. 

The weather service has said more dry thunderstorms could strike Northern California later this week. The weather pattern "could happen again across Central and Northern California."

Aids epidemic a 'global disaster' - The Aids epidemic is so severe that it should be classified as a disaster, the Red Cross and Red Crescent warns. The crisis fits the UN definition of a disaster as an event beyond the scope of any single society to cope with. The IFRC's annual report on world disasters usually focuses on specific natural disasters such as earthquakes. This year, it is departing from tradition with its world disasters report, to focus on what it says is one of the most long term and complex problems facing the world: the HIV/Aids epidemic. By any standard, the epidemic is a global disaster: 25 million deaths, 33 million people living with HIV/Aids, 7,000 new infections every day.

Sunday JUNE 15, 2008 Yea saith the Lord, Oh America how you have struggled saith God, how you have tried and strived to maintain your relationship with me, but your leaders America have not maintained their relationship with me saith the Lord, they have gone as far from me as one can get saith God, they have embraced the evil one, my enemy, they worship the things of darkness, they meet in secret places, and they praise the Gods of darkness saith God, and because of this America my wrath shall come upon thee saith the Lord, I shall pour out my wrath upon thee America and you will feel the result of the sin of your leaders, even those that are mine shall be touched by what is poured out, though they shall not be destroyed by it saith God, for I have you in my hand and in my hands you are safe saith the Lord.

USA - NEVADA - Health officials declared the air quality “unhealthful” for the Reno-Sparks area on Tuesday due to thick smoke in the region from hundreds of wildfires.

USA - NEVADA - CALIFORNIA - Wildfires raging across California are being blamed for unhealthy air quality throughout the San Joaquin Valley. Saturday, an UNUSUAL weather pattern sent dry lightning flashing to the ground - at least 8000 strikes hit the ground.

USA - NEVADA - WISCONSIN - TART CHERRIES - Extreme weather has virtually wiped out Door County’s cherry crop for this year. This will reduce the total U.S. crop output by about 30%.

Poor people in the United States are increasingly at risk from tropical diseases such as dengue fever and Chagas disease, says a new report. Researchers blame climate change and increasing poverty for the increased spread of these infectious illnesses. The study warns that while these diseases are not always fatal, they are severely debilitating. Consequently, they perpetuate poverty, affecting child development and worker productivity. 36 million people in the US who live below the poverty line are most at risk from these parasitic and bacterial diseases. Most vulnerable are minority groups such as the African American community living along the delta of the Mississippi River, but also disadvantaged white people who live in the Appalachian mountains and immigrants who live along the US-Mexico border. While the US spends more than a billion dollars a year preparing for outbreaks of diseases that have yet to occur such as small pox, avian influenza and anthrax, these other diseases continue to affect millions with little or no attention paid to them.

Lifesaving equipment in hospitals may be switched off by radio-frequency devices used to track people and machines, Dutch scientists claim. Radio frequency identification devices are on the rise in healthcare, helping identify patients, and reveal the location of equipment. But they could interfere with machines. In some tests, RFIDs either switched off or changed the settings on mechanical ventilators, completely stopped the working of syringe pumps, caused external pacemakers to malfunction, and halted dialysis machines. The device did not have to be held right up to the machine to make this happen - some "hazardous" incidents happened when the RFID was more than 10 inches away.

Water may be suspect in salmonella tainted tomatoes. 

Pick a tomato in the blazing sun and plunge it straight into cold water. If that happened on the way to market, it might be contaminated. 

USA - Floodwaters breed hidden health dangers - West Nile, E. coli among deadly concerns in swamped Midwest. Now that the waters are beginning to recede after this month’s devastating floods in the Midwest, state and federal officials are warning of a widespread secondary risk from dangerous bacteria and disease-bearing mosquitoes. 

They expect this season’s mosquito population to be especially big, nurtured by hot summer temperatures and large pools of standing water that make an ideal breeding ground. “We know we have mosquitoes right now in the state that are testing positive for the West Nile virus.” 

Stagnant water carries numerous other risks, health officials said. For any number of dangerous bacteria and parasites, hot, fetid pools left over by swamped septic systems are the perfect home. The raging waters also seeped into countless wells, affecting drinking water for thousands of homes and businesses across the region.

The worst of the flooding that has ravaged the midwestern United States is nearly over, but it will be weeks before the murky water recedes in many areas. Tens of thousands of people were evacuated from their homes in Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri and Indiana due to the heavy rains and deadly storms which swept through the region in recent weeks. 

Early estimates place the damage in the billions as roads were washed out, rail and barge traffic shut down and millions of acres of crops were swamped. Scores of levees collapsed or were overtopped by the rushing waters which swallowed entire towns. The extreme weather which began May 25 and included a series of deadly tornadoes claimed the lives of 22 people, 17 of whom were in Iowa. 

More than 11 million people in nine midwestern states were affected by the flooding and extreme weather. All the tributary rivers of the Mississippi above St. Louis, Missouri have now crested, but it will take three more days before the towns down river know whether their levies will hold. 

The river is expected to rise by about another six inches (15 centimeters) in areas up to 150 miles (240 kilometers) downstream. "A lot of these rivers won't go back below flood stage until mid-July."

USA - CALIFORNIA - Hundreds of wildfires have blazed across northern California, threatening thousands of homes as the region bakes under a ferocious heatwave.

Midwest flooding causing food inflation

Midwest floodwaters are about to give consumers more grief at the grocery store. In the latest bout of food inflation, beef, pork, poultry and even eggs, cheese and milk are expected to get more expensive as livestock owners go out of business, or are forced to slaughter more cattle, hogs, turkeys and chickens to cope with rocketing costs for corn-based animal feed.

The floods effected about 2 million or more acres of corn in the key growing states, sending world grain prices skyward on fears of a substantially smaller corn crop. The flood damage to Iowa crops alone could reach $3 billion in crop losses.

Experts: Bird flu may worsen global food crisis

The worst of the bird flu threat is over but the fight to eliminate the disease from poultry is weak -- a situation that could worsen the global food crisis, health experts warned

Sunday MAY 25, 2008 Yea saith God, for as I have told you the winds would strengthen and the fierceness of the storms would increase... for my wrath has come upon the earth saith the Lord, and I am disturbed, yea I am dismayed at my people who have gone away from my teachings and gone away from my authority, and made their own way, and made their own church, and made their own commandments saith God, but I the Lord have given you the comments that you need, stay with them, do not make your own, saith the Lord.

Climate researchers predict grim future

The U.S. Climate Change Science Program and the Subcommittee on Global Change Research has released a scientific assessment that provides the first comprehensive analysis of observed and projected changes in weather and climate extremes in North America and U.S. territories.

They predict:

Abnormally hot days and nights, along with heat waves will be more common.

Cold nights are very likely to become less common.

Sea ice extent is expected to continue to decrease and may even disappear in the Arctic Ocean in summer in coming decades.

Rainfall on average, is likely to be less frequent but more intense.

Droughts are likely to become more frequent and severe in some regions.

Hurricanes will likely have increased precipitation and wind.

The strongest cold-season storms in the Atlantic and Pacific are likely to produce stronger winds and higher extreme wave heights.

**Watchman helper comment** This is already happening now.

Security fears over food and fuel crisis

Western countries have upgraded the food and fuel crisis into a national security concern as they fear record high energy and agriculture commodity costs are destabilizing key developing regions of the world.

The concerns come as the world suffers for the first time since 1973 from the confluence of record oil and food prices.

Corn, soybean and meat prices jumped this week to all-time highs, while oil prices hit a record of almost $140 a barrel

USA - KANSAS - The National Weather Service recorded 18.04 inches of rain for the three-month spring period that ended May 31, a total topped only by 1904's 19.01 inches.

USA - IOWA - A Record Winter Becomes a Record Spring... What's Next? Snowfall and ice storms have turned into rainfall, tornados and flooding, leading many in East Iowa to wonder what is next? Could the weather get worse? Extreme weather has become so common that if people haven’t been affected themselves, almost everyone knows someone who has. There have been 16 storm-related deaths in the state since the tornado on May 25. It seems the 100-year floods are coming about every 10 years or so.

USA - The Farmers’ Almanac is predicting a warmer-than-normal summer across much of the nation, and an extremely active hurricane season. In addition to the blistering heat, the Farmers’ Almanac warns that sections of the Midwest and the Mid-Atlantic could continue to see occasional bouts of very heavy rain, with heavier than normal precipitation also affecting portions of the Plains and Rockies. In contrast, the Pacific Coast is expected to be much drier than normal during the coming summer. The Farmers’ Almanac has predicted an active tropical storm season, with the Gulf Coast directly in the crosshairs for hurricanes in mid-July, mid-August, and mid-September. The associated tropical moisture from such systems is likely to flow northward, creating threat of excessive rainfall over many eastern locations. After accurately predicting a “two-faced winter,” consisting of colder-than-normal temperatures to the east of the Mississippi and warmer weather to the west, the Farmers’ Almanac advised loyal readers that spring would have only one face: a cold, rainy one. The Farmers’ Almanac also warned of an exceptionally active tornado season in the Midwest. Those predictions were borne out as a record-breaking number of deadly twisters – more than 700 in all – descended on the region between February and early May. Readers of the Farmers’ Almanac estimate that its annual weather forecast is accurate between 80 and 85 percent of the time.

USA - it appears as if there might be yet another chilly, late-season storm system in the Pacific Northwest in about 5 days. Temperatures have been much cooler than normal so far in June, and there will be significant warming for a time before the storm in about 5 days. By then, though, temperatures will again be cooler than normal with showers - if the current long-range model is correct. By the way, this might not be the last storm - another storm might approach the coast around July 1; however, this storm might remain far enough to the west to not have much of an effect, allowing interior areas, at least, to turn warm.

USA - CALIFORNIA - Lightning sparked as many as 400 fires around Northern California, as officials farther south were close to containing a blaze that had destroyed more than a dozen homes and forced thousands to evacuate.

U.S. Marshals seized various animal food products stored under unsanitary conditions at the PETCO Animal Supplies Distribution Center after finding widespread and active rodent and bird infestations.

They supply to 16 retail stores in Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.

If a pet has become ill after eating these food products, FDA officials said pet owners should contact their veterinarian and report illnesses to FDA state consumer complaint coordinators.

Submerged active volcanoes found near Fiji

Several huge active submarine volcanoes, spreading ridges and rift zones have been discovered northeast of Fiji by a team of Australian and American scientists aboard a Marine National Facility Research Vessel.

FIJI - scientists have discovered two mineral-rich, active volcanoes more than a kilometer under the sea near Fiji, with mining companies already lining up to try to exploit the sites. Measuring 50 kilometers wide by almost 4,000 meters tall, the volcanoes are bubbling away at 1,100 meters and 1,500 meters below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, in an area known as the North Lau Basin, between Tonga, Fiji and Samoa. They are within the Pacific rim of fire, an area of high earthquake activity, and are spewing into the sea black smoke containing precious minerals. The volcanoes are quite remarkable - "Some of the features look like the volcanic blisters seen on the surface of Venus."

Sunday JUNE 15, 2008 Yea saith the Lord, Oh America how you have struggled saith God, how you have tried and strived to maintain your relationship with me, but your leaders America have not maintained their relationship with me saith the Lord, they have gone as far from me as one can get saith God, they have embraced the evil one, my enemy, they worship the things of darkness, they meet in secret places, and they praise the Gods of darkness saith God, and because of this America my wrath shall come upon thee saith the Lord, I shall pour out my wrath upon thee America and you will feel the result of the sin of your leaders, even those that are mine shall be touched by what is poured out, though they shall not be destroyed by it saith God, for I have you in my hand and in my hands you are safe saith the Lord.

USA - More levees face flood peril - this time in northern Missouri, western Illinois. As floodwaters slowly receded from much of Iowa on Wednesday, authorities focused their attention on a swollen Mississippi River that punched through at least two levees in western Illinois and increasingly threatened hamlets in Missouri. Federal officials said as many as 30 levees are in peril, mostly in rural stretches of northern Missouri and western Illinois. No large population centers are threatened. The concern now is the Mississippi River between the Quad Cities and St. Louis. The river is expected to crest Saturday in St. Louis, where flood risk is lessened because the Mississippi widens and meets several tributaries with lower-than-normal water levels. Up to two inches of rain is forecast for parts of Missouri today, and workers along the river were piling up sandbags. "We're anticipating the worst and preparing for the worst." On Wednesday, residents were still barred from Cedar Rapids and were only slowly being allowed to return to neighboring towns

USA - The floodwater has gone down in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and people are beginning to get a look at just how bad things are. Now Missouri is ground zero as flood waters move south along the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers and tributaries. Three Mississippi River levees broke north of St. Louis in Missouri's Lincoln County, sending a wave of water toward the town of Foley and raising concern in nearby Winfield. The river was overflowing 90 percent of the levees in eastern Lincoln County, and at least four more breaks were expected early today. The breaks mean the Mississippi won't reach record crest levels downstream. Authorities predict the river will crest at 37.3 feet (11.4 meters) today in St. Louis, short of the 49.6 feet reached during flooding in 1993. American meteorologists are citing an UNUSUAL late spring weather pattern for the spike in extreme weather. The jet stream, a narrow column of fast-moving winds in the mid-levels of the atmosphere which heavily influences temperature and precipitation, has been blamed for much of the widespread extreme weather across the United States. The jet stream has been stationary in an ABNORMAL position, dipping in the mountain west and rising in the east, with the heart of the stream flowing through the center of the country. The dip in the west has allowed cold weather to filter through and bring extreme cold and even snow to parts of Montana and Idaho, while the rise in the east has brought extreme heat from the Gulf of Mexico, and minimal precipitation has fallen over the southeastern US. From Miami to Seattle to Boston to Las Vegas, serious drought, historic flooding, sweltering heat and bitter cold have hit the country - and almost all of it during the months of May and June. But it's been the jet stream's flow through the center of the country that has produced the most damage.

USA - CALIFORNIA - A spring heat wave sent Southern California TEMPERATURES TO RECORD LEVELS Wednesday with 100 degrees plus readings in the worst areas. The mercury reached a record 107 degrees in Woodland Hills, beating a previous record of 106 degrees set in 1989. The Long Beach airport set a record with a 93 degree peak reading. Temperatures were expected to climb today as a strong high pressure system hovers over the region. Southern California roasted again on Thursday in a RECORD-BREAKING, end-of-spring heat wave that sent temperatures soaring past 100 degrees in many areas. Near-record heat scorched San Diego County on Wednesday, and it's about to get worse before it gets better.

USA - ARIZONA - Yuma County will continue to bake as there appears to be no end to the current heat wave.

USA - TEXAS - the high temperature climbed to 101 degrees Fahrenheit in Austin Thursday afternoon. It was the 15th day where temperatures have reached 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher, in a 33-day heat wave. The average number of 100-degree days in Austin is 11, for an ENTIRE summer. RECORD-HIGH TEMPERATURES HAVE BEEN REACHED ON 16 OF THE PAST 33 DAYS.
