Angola Flooding Kills Nine

Luke 21:25,26 NAS “There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay (tension from difficult circumstances that "won't move" which produces distress or anguish – causing someone to feel "locked in" or “tightly pressed”) among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting (lose morale, become disheartened, like lapsing into temporary unconsciousness) from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world...

Torrential rains in Angola caused flash flooding that has left at least nine people dead and others missing.

Landslides also forced closure of roads making it hard for emergency personnel to reach damaged areas. One of the major roads near the country’s seaport was closed by a slide.

Government officials said that the deaths were in houses damaged by the floodwaters.

Angola is recovering from a 27-year civil war that has many of the country’s residents in abject poverty. Most residents of the capital Luanda are forced to live in slums because of the high prices for property.
