1. Saint Michael is in the book of Revelation.
2. About a year before Pope Leo XIII's vision is the enormous volcanic explosion of August 26-27, 1883 of Krakatoa (volcano).
Krakatoa resulted also in a huge TSUNAMI.
I have the opinion that the fire at the Nuclear Reactor at Chernobyl is indicating events in the book of Revelation.
So is Krakatoa.
Rev 8:8-11[reference to event Krakatoa]
8 The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,
9 a third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed.
[Start of reference to Wormwood or Chernobyl]
10 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--
11 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.
(NIV)
Krakatoa would be a reference to a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. Volcanoes tend to be all ABLAZE when they are erupting.
World War I, World II, and events like the sinking of the Titanic resulted in large numbers of ships being sunk.
In World War II, thousands of ships/boats were sunk.

The 1/3 of all living creatures in the sea would have been killed by depth charging of submarines, explosions from Naval Battles, nuclear bomb testing, as well as Nuclear powered submarines and non-nuclear powered submarines sinking.
Some ships have DEVICES that harm sea creatures. Though I am not worried about President Putin in Russia, I am concerned about UNCLE SAM.
The KGB and Militia tried to stop people from going. But it is reported that 500,000 people saw (the light) at Hrushiv.
A humorous event that happened was that the MILITIA tried to block the road to Hrushiv. They were in the process of chopping down a tree and the wind shifted (ACT OF GOD), and instead of blocking the access to Hrushiv, it landed on the Militia's car/vehicle.
When this happened, one of the militia members threw down and his hat, and proceeded to the apparition site...
This is from the book Witness by Josyp Terelya.
I once spoke to Josyp on the phone. It was about visiting Hrushiv...
