IN the NEWS - Slamming into the African Horn

 .... the sea and the waves roaring; Luke 21:25

WE MUST BE CAREFUL NOT TO DO "PROPHECY BY HEADLINE" where every news event is a supposed piece of prophetic fulfillment....on the other hand, in light of everything going on in the world, does the African Horn getting in 2 days the rainfall it gets in a year just a coincidence or a sign of things to come shortly?.....hmmm....

"On November 22, 2020, Cyclone Gati became the strongest storm to hit Somalia since satellite records began five decades ago. Gati made landfall with maximum sustained winds of 105 miles per hour, a category 2 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. The storm brought more than a year’s worth of rain to the region in two days. Local authorities report at least eight people were killed and
thousands have been displaced.
 
In 12 hours, Gati’s winds intensified from 40 miles to 115 miles per hour—the largest 12-hour increase for any tropical storm ever recorded in the Indian Ocean. The storm rapidly intensified due to its small size, warm Indian Ocean waters, and low wind shear. Although the storm slightly weakened before landfall, Gati brought exceptional amounts of rain to northern Somalia.
 
 Heavy rains and strong winds caused flash floods along coastal and inland areas and destroyed buildings. Villages in the Iskushuban district, which includes Ras Hafun, were hit hardest. Gati has since weakened and moved into the Gulf of Aden."
