Death toll now at 8 as choppers search for hundreds missing after Colorado floods


Days of heavy rainfall flooded Colorado mountain towns, obliterating roads and leaving many people stranded. Chris Schneider / AP.


    Floods, earthquakes, terribly hurricanes, climate changing and weather changing drasticly. This is becoming the norm for the world today. It sad that the people that live in Colorado had to experience this. I think the government need to now prepare people not just for hurricanes, but for serious flooding, such as building houses higher off the ground. We all should take into consideration these measures when building our house. Let continue to pray for those in Colorado and around the world.

     A former petty officer who apparently had a grudge against the Navy sprayed an office building with bullets at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday, killing 12 people in a rampage that paralyzed part of the nation's capital. Is this former policeman serious what he has done? Who hold grudges against Navy, then go and shot up the Navy Yard and expect to come out alive. Now he has killed incident people, just because of a grudge he hold against the Navy.

  After a year, since this cruise ship has been capsized, they have decided to finally lift the Costa Concordia cruise ship from its side on a Tuscan reef. After lifting they didn't see no sign of the other two bodies that was not recover from the incidence took place, where over 32 people died due to this disaster. Do you think they took too long to lift this cruise ship? Think about the life of the water this ship might have damage or even the life they could have saved?

They been to the cruise ships companies, they target Florida and now they going to the Florida's airports. We Bahamian may see this as nothing serious, but when this affect us by not being able to travel to Florida, tourists has decreases, no money coming in the country and then the United States of America stop all connections with us, what will we as Bahamian do then.
