"The hitting of the winds of the black death."

How I wish we knew what that means!

I've been looking into that aspect of this thread Letitring, and I thinkI have found a possible answer to that question.

In Islamic eschatology, the "Black Wind of Death" is a prophesized event, coupled with an earthquake, that is believed to be a precursor to the appearance of the Imam Mahdi.

Although I dont believe they are referring to a totally religious event, it helps me to understand what context they are talking about when I read it in their posts.

Oh wow, thank you so much. That begins to make sense, sort of, for them anyway. :)
