The Earth is covered with all kinds of natural disasters, and all at the same time.

The Earth is packing a punch. Mother Nature is smacking the globe with all kinds of natural disasters – all at once.

The Biggest Shift In Earth History Begins

June 6, 2013 by

Our incredible Earth

Finally, we Earthlings are waking up to what’s going on right under our noses.

Finally, our global law-makers are realizing that we humans are NOT more powerful than our planet, and that we CANNOT control Nature or STOP its immense power.

Untangling Our Knots

Civilization is on the brink of one of the most astounding shifts in Earth history, but most of us think that the economy, politics, or the threat of war will be what determines the fate of our species. People don’t realize that the Earth, our planet itself, will be what changes our lives at the end of the day.

Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, violent storms, pole shifts, and climate change – these major Earth events have been relatively quiet in our lifetime, but according to the science, these are the shifts that will change history.

We can’t sit this one out.

Today, natural disasters are indisputably on the rise all over the globe, and the timing comes as no surprise. While our global communities spend time “debating” global warming, the oil crisis, interest rates, and war, we are missing the warning signs that Earth changes won’t wait for us to untangle our knots. It’s time to stop wasting time, and step up our game.

Earth Changes Are Good

As the Earth changes today, we must make the right choices to change WITH it.

Recent monster tornadoes, global flooding, increases in earthquakes, multiple volcanic eruptions, and killer tsunamis are merely “tiny” Earth movements – our planet is MASSIVE, and natural disasters that seem devastating to those living through them are insignificant to this mighty planet.

It is my aim to help you understand that by looking at the Earth in ways no one has seen the Earth before, we can move more gracefully into the future, and dismiss our confusion and fears. 

Earth changes are impacting the lives of billions of people worldwide, and big changes are undoubtedly here. We now must determine what to do about them.

Change is good. Change is inevitable. Earth changes will continue no matter what humans do, or think.

Let’s learn how to change with the Earth … this is one of the most exciting times to be alive!

EF5 Tornado In El Reno, Oklahoma Was The Widest Ever On Record

June 4, 2013 by
A picture of an EF5 tornado in Oklahoma.

The deadly EF5 tornado in El Reno, Oklahoma May 2013.

The month of May is prime time for tornadoes in Texas and Oklahoma, but less than two weeks after an EF5 tornado leveled the town of Moore, Oklahoma, a 2.6 mile wide tornado, the widest tornado on record, hit the same area in less than two weeks. This “super-rare” tornado whipped down the same path, packing winds that reached 295 mph.

… and my oldest son, his fiance, my sister, my brother-in-law, and their 2 dogs were in the middle of it.

The Twister

Sadly, 18 people died in this tornado, including three, experienced storm chasers. I am grateful that my family escaped unharmed. If this EF5 twister had remained one, large rotating vortex, the small communities in the path of this massive storm would have been leveled, similar to the devastation in Moore.

Thankfully, this twister broke into smaller, multiple vortexes, and the stretch where this twister touched down between El Reno and Union City was mostly rural farm and grazing land. Most of the destruction came toward the end of the tornado’s 16.2-mile path along Interstate 40, where several motorists were killed when their vehicles were tossed around like toy cars.

History Repeating

Severe storms plagued Oklahoma in May 2013..

Both El Reno and Moore have been hit by EF5 tornadoes before this May 2013 outbreak. In 1999, Moore was hit by a EF5 with the strongest winds ever measured on Earth: 302 mph. On May 24, 2011, a violent long-track EF5 tornado passed through the El Reno area, causing extensive damage and killing 9 people.

Sooooo, it’s time for some changes, you think?

Restructuring Our Communities

While our global lawmakers spend time “debating” what to do about global warming, natural disasters, and Earth changes, we are missing the warning signs that Earth changes won’t wait for us to untangle our knots.  It’s time to step up our game.

We can no longer rebuild in the same places in the same ways within natural disaster zones; our development designs are antiquated, and we are wasting time and money. Mankind’s urban sprawl has become cumbersome – we aren’t changing with Earth changes.

The Earth is different today, and it will never go back to the way it used to be. Our entire solar system, is changing. The galaxy is changing. Our Universe is changing. Humans are NOT keeping up with the changes because we do not like change; people do not like to lose profits.

We can’t sit this one out, people.

Let’s start making the right changes because whether we like it or not, the planet will go forward without us.

I am grateful my family safely rode this one out!A picture of Dr. Hull's son and daughter in law.
