The recent mysterious deaths of birds and fish are causing alarm among naturalists around the world. Birds are literally falling dead out of the sky, and fish are washing up dead on shores and rivers across North America and around the world. The reaction from the mainstream media seems strangely subdued, as if they're all just blowing this off as some unexplained quirk about the natural world that should be largely ignored.
NaturalNews readers think differently. We are concerned when thousands of dead birds fall out of the sky for no apparent reason. The sky itself may not be falling, but previously live animals are clearly falling out of it. If that's not enough reason to wonder what the heck is happening to our planet, then what is?
These are clear signs that something is wrong. Red flags from nature, if you will. Here's the timeline of recent deaths that have been reported:

On the initial day it was reported, Rush's buddy the weather expert sent him an email telling him about the powerful front that went thru that area and he said it was very likely they got caught in it and then "thrown" out of it.....
Regards the LA bird deaths, the USGS guy said there had been 16 such incidents reported just in the last 30 years.
This type of thing does, quite literally, happen all the time.
It’s just like the supposed “surge” in school shootings when the reality is they have dropped. These days when I listen to the news I sometimes wonder if all these people were born yesterday. It’s as if nothing ever happened before...or if it did, surely it wasn’t this bad. We have a real problem nowadays in that there seems to be not just a rewritten history, but a complete disregard for it.
And regards the Chesapeake Bay Spot fish,
“Large winter kills of spot have been documented at least twice before, the MDE(Maryland Dept. of the Environment) spokeswoman said, with about 15 million dying in early 1976 and a smaller number in 1980. “
Heavy rains along the east coat of Queensland for several weeks have filled dams, rivers have broken their banks, numerous towns are flooded, there are some 40 suburbs of Brisbane under water, a freak flash-flood caused by heavy torrential rain tore through the centre of a regional city, Toowoomba, and headed down the range to the small towns below, destroying the town of Grantham in its path, where lives were lost and many - up to 40 - people are still missing.
GRANTHAM FLASH FLOOD SOURCE THERE HAS BEEN NO TSUNAMI IN BRISBANE.

Tsunami makes a better headline. What we have is the result of weeks of heavy torrential rain, dams at capacity, rivers breaking their banks, high tides preventing run-off into the ocean.
Of it does, and it is very descriptive of a vast body of moving water, which is what you’re experiencing.
You’re experiencing great floods...of water.
Now we should all feel better.
Right. Obviously NOT caused by a long period of heavy torrential rain over a wide area of LAND.
A friend and I were talking about this subject this morning. She said her husband wondered if this polar shift-thing has anything to do with it.
I don't understand why you would say that...I lived in Brisbane during the 1974 floods and lost home and business. All I am trying to do is make clear where the water comes from. It's NOT a tsumani - it's the result of heavy rainfall over a long period.
Evirowacko: “We don’t know whats causing it, but we do know we need to take money from rich people to find a solution.”
Well, yes, those in a downstream of displaced water caused by a huge disturbance in waterflow are subject to the effects of a tsunami.
It doesn’t matter if the disturbance is over land or sea...it is about the flow of displaced water. Flooding can be a LOT of displaced water that voila! Fell out of the sky instead of pushed up by movement of the ocean floor.
You want it to be a tsunami, be my guest:
The floods were a result of heavy precipitation caused by Tropical Cyclone Tasha that combined with a trough during the peak of a La Niña event. The 2010 La Niña weather pattern, which brings wetter conditions to eastern Australia, was the strongest since 1973.[7] Isolated flooding started across parts of the state in early December. On 24 December a monsoonal trough crossed the coast from the Coral Sea, bringing torrential rain that fell in a broad swath from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the Gold Coast. The conditions also led to a large influx of snakes, as well as some crocodiles.[8]
By 30 December, vast areas of Southern and Central Queensland, an area the size of Germany and France combined,[9][10] were affected by the flood. About 300 roads were closed, including nine major highways.[11] Coal railway lines were closed and numerous mine sites flooded....

WHERE I LIVE WE CALL IT FLOODING.
LOL! So...FRED NERKS, do you reckon you’re experiencing a tsunami then?
Just too funny not to reply.
Rowdy: you are outclassed & outmatched on the Australia flood. Fred Nerks is THERE! has been THERE for awhile! has been through previous floods THERE!
Look up the erudite posts of FRED NERKS and assume, in at least THIS instance, FRED NERKS speaks from a position of knowledge, wisdom, and restraint!
You know...I just HATE to take a good disaster/catastrophe/End Times Scenario what-ever-you-call-it calamity away from anyone...
but it’s a FLOOD.
And what the people experienced in Grantham at the foot of the Range was a freak flash-flood caused by incredibly heavy torrential rain over a region of the Darling Downs which includes the city of Toowoomba, a region which was already inundated.
Grantham residents have described the freak flash-flood as ‘tsunami-like’ in an effort to describe the SPEED with which the water hit their little town. Poor little Grantham sat in the path of the water which came down several thousand feet through a number of creeks - houses were simply swept away.
To name the widespread flooding in the Brisbane region - of which the residents had been warned was to come over several days, a TSUNAMI is simply headline stuff and totally misleading.
Brisbane is flooded because it is built on a flood plain, there are five major rivers in the region, there are high tides, the water cannot flow to the ocean, a huge dam named WIVENHOE is filled to capacity and water needs to be discharged, flowing into the Brisbane River, which runs through the city centre...
Almost all the towns along the east coast of Queensland have experienced flooding for several weeks.
I think it might have something to do with heavy rain...
