Flooding Could Complicate Efforts To Fight Idaho Wildfire

Joel 2:30 "I will display wonders in the sky and on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke.

Editor’s Note: Prophet Rick Joyner warns that when you see strange and extreme weather (record breaking highs, lows, floods, droughts, tornadoes, storms), it is a prophetic sign that the Revelation Days are upon us.

As a massive Idaho wildfire continues to burn virtually out of control, local officials say forecasts of heavy rain could bring another problem to the firefighters attempting to stop the blaze: flash flooding.

“If a storm moves over the fire and dumps a lot of rain in a short amount of time then that could be a flood risk,” Blaine County officials stated on their official twitter account.

Authorities say that the firefighters have made progress in their battle against the wildfire that has threatened thousands of homes. While the progress allowed local officials to drop pre-evacuation statuses for parts of Ketchum and Sun Valley, the Twin Falls Times-News says over 1,850 homes are still under mandatory evacuation.

Fire spokesmen said the blaze is only 8% contained. The fire has now burned over 100,000 acres in its 13th day.

The fire is one of 13 large fires burning in Idaho. Another fire has forced the evacuation of the town of Atlanta, Idaho.

Idaho is not the only state facing major wildfires. A fire in Oregon has burned 5,000 acres in the Columbia River Gorge resulting in multiple evacuations.
