Many are the signals in nature.
There’s the photo of a small funnel cloud over the U.S. Capitol.
Observant visitors to the area around the U.S. Capitol building on Tuesday afternoon were treated to a unusual sight: the unmistakable shape of a funnel cloud extending diagonally from the sky and seemingly almost reaching the tip of the Capitol dome itself.
The funnel cloud never touched down on the ground and therefore can’t be classified as a tornado. There was no damage and no reports of any other funnel clouds in the area Tuesday. But a photo of the thin, wispy twister curving over the Capitol drew more than 1 million views on Twitter.
There’s the fire in Greece:
Signs: in Greece, raging wildfires
There was a fireball that shook up residents in multiple states:
Fireball caused fears of apocalypse
There’s the (also) “biblical” flooding in Nova Scotia:
Nova Scotia: three months’ worth of rain in a single day
There are three tropical systems in the Atlantic:
There’s the heat spike in the Northeast:
A heat wave that has smashed records in the Southwest United States is spreading into parts of the Midwest and Northeast this week.
This persistent excessive heat has been camped over the nation’s southern tier from the Desert Southwest to Florida much of this month. It’s been the hottest start to July on record in Phoenix, Baton Rouge and Miami.
There are the incredible ocean temperatures reaching above a hundred degrees off Florida (about hot-tub levels):
From NBC:
On Monday, as much of the country stewed in bubbling heat, a boiling milestone was hit — a buoy in Florida registered a jaw-dropping 101.1 degrees Fahrenheit water temperature.
This was on the heels of the same buoy in Manatee Bay registering 100.2 degrees on Sunday. For perspective, the average hot tub temperature is 100-102 degrees F. While the readings would’ve been considered a possible outlier or sensor error, surrounding buoys recorded similarly high temperatures, with 99.3 F at Murray Key and 98.4 F at Johnson Key.
Violent hailstorms hit northern Italy:
And there’s the Medjugorje message, still from a peaceful but pleading mother:
July 25, 2023 “Dear children! In this time of grace, in which the Most High sends me to you to love you and guide you on the way of conversion, offer your prayers and sacrifices for all those who are far away and have not come to know God’s love. You, little children, be witnesses of love and peace for all peaceless hearts. Thank you for having responded to my call.”
Oh, but that we would be brought to prayer.
