NEW ORLEANS BP says a fire believed caused by lightning has shut down a system capturing oil from a gushing well in the Gulf of Mexico.
Hoo-boy! ... :-)

If they are admitting this much, then odds are it’s much, much worse.

Bad News: God is real and really ticked right now.
Good News: He still forgives those who repent.
We just have to admit our sins and repent. Maybe overturning Roe V. Wade would be a good place to start.

I’m reading on THE OIL DRUM the possibility of a bleed out. A minimum of 1.5 BILLION barrels. It stops when it’s empty. And the fact that BP no longer talks about stopping the leak and talks about capturing says a lot.
Rev.16;3 And the second angel poured out his vial on the sea; and it became as blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.
To: TaraP
Something that I find puzzling is just this: the drilling rig operated in water as deep as 2,400m, and could drill into the rock below the water some 9,100m. While that is certainly deep, there is an amazing amount of pressure pushing the oil out of that hole.
Offshore drilling has been going on in earnest since about 1947. So why hasn’t this happened before? What is unique about this place that puts that oil under so much pressure?
You would think that either with past oil rigs, or even naturally, such undersea oil plumes should be common.

Yes, it is getting harder to ignore the biblical prophecies by the day. Holy smokes, this oil leak is like something from a horror movie. Hey, at least we have a Hopefull Changey president in charge, so we can all feel good about this. Man, if it were a GOP President, the press would be doom and gloom about this eco disaster.
To: TaraP
Lightning strikes on oil platforms and other tall structures out at sea such as large ships are not uncommon. They're made out of highly conductive materials and stick up higher then other objects in the vicinity. It's bound to happen. They're very well grounded as a result.
Not everything is a conspiracy.

WE KNOW SHORTLY WHO IS TAKING OVER AND I SAY *THANK GOD*
After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;
10And cried with a loud voice, saying, Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb.
11And all the angels stood round about the throne, and about the elders and the four beasts, and fell before the throne on their faces, and worshipped God,
12Saying, Amen: Blessing, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, and honour, and power, and might, be unto our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Not everything is a conspiracy. NO But it is Biblically Prophetic..... With how my retirement funds have been doing I'd be pretty happy if the end times were sometime in the next 25 years so I didn't have to worry about retirement. All kidding aside, a lightning strike at sea isn't really sign of anything other then there was lightning. It has to go somewhere and will find the tallest conductive point it can. That's usually a ship if there's one around.
