"Go your way into the village" - Hurricanes over the US


Prime Minister Office, Tokyo


Hurricanes over the US

Japan and the US are two major countries under possible threat of great natural disasters.

Japan faced the great tsunami in 2011, and the US was shocked by a great October hurricane that hit New York in the middle of the presidential election in 2012.

1495: Columbus encountered a hurricane around Hispaniola Island.

1635: The most horrible hurricane that ever attacked the north east coast of the US passed Long Island and Boston, accompanied by 20 feet (6.1 meter)-high flood tide.  However, in 1636, the first high education institution was built in a colony on the bay of Massachusetts, which later grew to be Harvard University.

1780: A great hurricane emerged while the US was engaged in the American Revolution led by George Washington, namely the war against the UK for independence.   This calamity caused death for about 22,000 people living around the Caribbean Sea and destroyed the warring British and French fleets.

1938: New York City was hit by a big hurricane.
The New England Hurricane of 1938 (or Great New England Hurricane, Yankee Clipper, Long Island Express, or simply the Great Hurricane) was the first major hurricane to strike New England since 1869. The storm formed near the coast of Africa in September of the 1938 Atlantic hurricane season, becoming a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale before making landfall as a Category 3 hurricane[1] on Long Island on September 21. The hurricane was estimated to have killed between 682 and 800 people,[2] damaged or destroyed over 57,000 homes, and caused property losses estimated at US$306 million ($4.7 Billion in 2012).[3] Even as late as 1951, damaged trees and buildings were still seen in the affected areas.[4] It remains the most powerful, costliest and deadliest hurricane in recent New England history, eclipsed in landfall intensity perhaps only by the Great Colonial Hurricane of 1635.

1992: The most devastating or violent hurricane attacked the US.  This hurricane called Andrew forced the US to suffer total $26 billion (1992 USD) damage.  But destruction it brought about was more than the figure of the damage indicated.  At the time the US President was Mr. George H. W. Bush.

2005: The 2005 hurricane Katrina is costliest hurricane in the US history, requesting $108 billion damage (2005 USD) from the US under governance then-President Mr. W. Bush.

2012:  Then finally President Mr. Obama had to face other shocking hurricane that inundated several lines of the New York subway.
The hurricane caused billions of dollars in damage in the United States, destroyed thousands of homes, left millions without electric service, and killed dozens. 
Due to flooding and other storm-related problems, Amtrak cancelled all Acela Express, Northeast Regional, Keystone Service and Shuttle services on October 29 and 30.[173][174] More than 13,000 flights were canceled across the U.S. on October 29, and more than 3,500 were called off October 30.[175] From October 27 through early November 1, airlines cancelled a total of 19,729 flights, according to FlightAware.[176] 
As of early morning on November 1, just over 4.8 million customers remained without power in 15 states and the District of Columbia...

So, hurricanes really look like messengers sent by the God who is transcendental existence over life and death of mankind.

Anyway, some drastic movement must have begun already, explicitly or implicitly, in the US, in terms of history which is the God in a sense.

Mar 11:1 And when they came nigh to Jerusalem, unto Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sendeth forth two of his disciples,
Mar 11:2 And saith unto them, Go your way into the village over against you: and as soon as ye be entered into it, ye shall find a colt tied, whereon never man sat; loose him, and bring him.
Mar 11:3 And if any man say unto you, Why do ye this? say ye that the Lord hath need of him; and straightway he will send him hither.
