The writer seems to have forgotten about "The Great Dust Bowl" of the 1930's..........
I had the great fortune of staying in a B&B in N.W. Kansas back around 2000 that was owned by a 94 year old woman who actually endured the entire saga of the dust bowl.........She was literally an unopened vault of memories and information on what life was like when she was a child and what she and her family endured during the 1930's.........
Have you ever met anyone who actually took a horse and buggy to town on Fridays to buy supplies? Have you ever met anyone whose father drilled a well utilizing a pole and a mule? Have you ever met anyone whose house in the country was actually moved into the nearby town being towed by mules and hauled over logs?
Apocalyptic? I don't think so......LOL!
I guess it is where you are planning on being when the third angel sounds his trumpet. I don’t think this “Apocalyptic” thing is a laughing matter. You better be storing your water now. . .or perhaps you will have to stand in line with a tattoo/chip in order to get your quota. No LOL here!
Revelation 8:10-11: “The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water—the name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.” This is the third of the “trumpet judgments” described in Revelation. The seven trumpets are the judgments of the seventh seal (Revelation 8:1-5). The first trumpet causes hail and fire that destroy much of the plant life in the world (Revelation 8:7). The second trumpet brings about what seems to be a meteor, comet, or other heavenly body hitting the oceans and causing the death of one-third of the world’s sea life (Revelation 8:8-9). The third trumpet is similar to the second, except it affects the world’s lakes and rivers instead of the oceans (Revelation 8:10-11). It will cause a third part of all fresh water on earth to turn bitter and many people will die from drinking it.

My dad when he was visiting his grandparents. But then he is 94 and his grandparents were born around the Civil War.
