Luke 21:25,26 NLT “And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. People will be terrified at what they see coming upon the earth, for the powers in the heavens will be shaken.”
A flash flood that washed through a town on the Utah/Arizona border has left 8 people confirmed dead and others missing.
All of the victims are mothers and small children who reportedly were sitting in cars watching the rushing waters.
The flooding roared through the streets of Hildale, Utah to Colorado City, Arizona. Heavy rains started Monday night in mountains around the town causing the water to rush into canyons and valleys.
“It happened within like a half-hour, 45 minutes,” Chris Wyler told CNN. “(Then) it was just gone. And then the sun was shining again.”
The two vehicles that contained those who died had 16 people within them. Many were thrown from the vehicles by the force of the water.
Rescuers were forced to call off rescue efforts because of dangerous conditions overnight but resumed work with heavy equipment during the morning.
Here in Northern Utah-Brigham City and Perry area are getting the heavy rains here today. It is supposed to come again tomorrow. We are watching carefully. The Perry School is nearly in our back yard. The parents are driving their kids to school but some are running in the heavy rain. I noticed only one bus let out children but am a bit puzzled as two other buses did not have any on it. According to Channel 4 here it is supposed to have more of these heavy rains tomorrow. I can hear it coming down outside yet. These are not the usual kind of rain we sometimes get here and if you could hear how powerful they are you would agree. We moved here from Louisville,Kentucky 32 years ago so it’s not like we never knew what rain sounds like. I pray no more flash floods and also for those in the flash floods yesterday. RN
