The New York City subway system which is 108 years old has never faced a disaster as devastating as what was experienced last night. Atlantic City in New Jersey has become an extension of the Atlantic Ocean as water pressed into the city from three sides, flooding rail yards, subway tracks, tunnels and roads.

ReplyDeleteGod!This is Serious,I think the end time is near, this is becoming a major disaster all over the World O
ReplyDeletethe forst ,I always wait for updates of this blog because it gives me inspiration and encouragement blogging, blogging and forward greeting friends.
ReplyDeletevery nice and cool blog
ReplyDeleteAt least thank God they have the technical know-how to take proactive measures in order to minimise the damage. With the level of infrastructural decay, I wonder what would have happened if this type of natural disaster occurred in my beloved country, Nigeria?
ReplyDelete*Lips sealed*
WOW OMG..i HAVE NEVER SEEN NEWYORK LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE...this storm was crazy mehn, but im sure america has a great cleansing plan...oh boy if this kind storm hits naija, we wont even know sef cos we dont have "gbe-che" meteorologist that would be able to predict that kain storm. lol plus even if we had sef, our evacuation plan would be rubbish..billions would be dead.
ReplyDeleteLORD have mercy. Time to run to JESUS!
ReplyDeleteWe can't always have it all..even with our economy,i can still say 'God Bless Nigeria'
ReplyDeleteEnd time things
ReplyDeleteQuite sad. God be with them. The movie '2012' comes to mind; NYC seriously flooded in that movie, coincidence?
ReplyDeleteAnyway Here in Naija, 'Hurricane Bad Government' has wrecked more havoc. BH & militants killing people & bombing buildings, flood killing & destroying properties due to poor drainage, poorly founded buildings collapsing, 150million people without power in 36 states, Govt in feud with airports/airlines, aviation industry totally phucked, mass transit, schools, businesses, hospitals & FG offices only gets shut down by strike actions, corruption & graduate unemployment growing at a shocking rate, as Hurricane Bad Government sweeps through Nigeria...
Gbam!!! U 've said it all.
DeleteIfy
OGA OOOOOO
ReplyDeleteBlood of Jesus! father forgive us of our sins ooo. Nigeria is blessed and yet we take our blessings for granted.
ReplyDeleteThe world in chaos. Signs of the end time. May God console them.
ReplyDeleteDis is serious,may God see dem thru,as 4 d dead RIP
ReplyDeleteThe end is near! It is written in the bible that "when something that had not happened before starts to happen, know that the end is near". This is a clarion call on everybody.
ReplyDeleteNa wa o.... Nigeria is really a blessed country o, as we are saved from all this calamities, being it storm, earthquake, tornados and the likes.....but Nigerians are something else sha but God really love us and very soon, very very soon Boko Haram issue will be a thing of the past.
ReplyDelete*be it...
ReplyDeleteNatural disastrs are inevitable,it is well May God keep n protect each and everyone of dem.
ReplyDeleteNo matter what, Nigeria is a blessed Nation, God bless America
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for everybody in New York right now not only r d dealing sandy now some people r fighting fire too so sad
ReplyDeleteHay!! my beautiful Newyork! God please stop dis na its within your power to...it's still on my list! I still dreamt of breakfast at tiffany's lastweek!
ReplyDeleteIts a sad inciden. Lagos gets flooded like that from 1 day of rain.
ReplyDeleteFRUITJAMZ says ; Na waoh !!! God save ur pple.first to comment and first time to comment*wink*
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy... Endtime is so near.
ReplyDeleteGod please protect us all. May d good Lord go before us in all our doing and may his protect surround us all and all d people say Amen
ReplyDeleteAt least there were able to know before hand to reduce the effect of the flood. Most pple that died were the ones that did not heed to the government warning.the emergency unit,news reporters were all alert..can we say that of Nigeria...imagine or no God wnt let it happen in naija in Jesus name cuz we wnt be able to handle it
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me when these people foretells what is going to happen ahead, Oh well It's not a surprise to me anymore, some would say "I'm not moving to anywhere" after they've been admonished not to stay away from that city for the main time.. This is just the message to every Nigerian youths that no matter where you go to in the world, there is always problem in one way or the other. I told my friends living in US, that's why i love NIGERIA despite they fact that everything is no 100% ok. And those who are gone as the result of the Hurricane Sandy I pray that they rest in God's perfect peace.

Am tired of people saying end time is near and that God is punishing America for their sins, Please shut up' people seriously, do you honestly think that God would kill innocent people just cause some bad ones are around? Things like this happens its not the first time and its not gonna be the last, hopefully as technology grows we would find ways of protecting people without anyone dying when Natural disaster occurs, just cause you are somewhere safe in your house doesn't mean you have right to open your mouth and start concluding for God that the word is coming to an end that's why he is killing people, he is not wicked or heartless like Boko haram. Cheers
ReplyDeleteI'm so scared now..all my family member that live in Ny/NJ/maryland are incommunicado..bbms not delivering..calls not going in..its so scary and to think me complaining that I ought to be in america already..God delayed me for a purpose..I'm so thankful and grateful to God..I just pray he protects them and many others
ReplyDeleteAll this illuminati sins. God is angry with them. They better repent. Only Jesus gives joy and peace
ReplyDeleteThis is a sign that God is not happy with the Americans.They think they're num 1 in the world and are untouchable.for that,they can go to other people's country and start war. Once they're interested in a country's endowment& the leader of such country doesn't accept their proposal,they find a way to cause conflict within tht country& they fund, supply ammunitions to the rebels to fight whilst the sit back and watch. I am sad about this disaster but God has a way of fighting for other countries. U can imagine them shutting down two big chinese companies in USA just cos they're threatened tht china will soon catch up with thm. And I am appalled by Obama supporting gay marriage just cos of his "ambition". Why won't God be angry when tht was what made him destroy Sodom&Gomorrah. Or they think God is not real?
ReplyDeletePs: why are some people dying? Dint they get the warning? And Linda why do you take forever to upload comments or you prefer us looking at just pictures?
Lord have Mercy.....
ReplyDeleteTruly d end is near... A lyf in Christ is extremely reassuring. Lyf after earthly death is all dh matas (smiling). Go on wif ur lyf while waiting on our lord. #Jade Said#

ReplyDeleteHurricane sandy hitting the United states all of a sudden makes Nigeria a perfect country.."if i hear" All this people shouting now "God bless Nigeria", I can swear that if they give them visa to enter the US they do not even mind staying in the middle of the hurricane....... God has already seen that if he adds natural disasters to the man made disaster in that country that place would be history by now...... Come to think of it i read that 13 people died from the incident(may their souls rip)..... Oh well our God is a merciful God because if he allows for this kind of disaster to happen in Nigeria #lipssealed# God help them in the states.... Abeg make una park well.....
ReplyDeleteRuki abeg mk I hear word*tongue out- Mummyblessed kid
DeleteThanks for all your prayers from nja...
ReplyDeleteKept us all intact
i hope u fucking stupid nigerians dat hate ur government can read and underdtand dis? Y didnt u pple blame obama.
ReplyDeleteDid americans cm out to say their government did nothing? Its only in nigeria pple abuse their government.
I stil say it...if u hv ever opened ur dull brain to blame nigeria govt for d flood...u r a big fool if after reading dis u dont hide ur face in shame.
Foolish nigerians...foolosh lib readers. I hate u all for ur stupidity.
So much bile in your system. You need to take pills. Are u Abati or some other yeye govt official? The flood has been predicted years back and the govt couldn't do anything to prevent it. This hurricane was just predicted days back and see the measures they have taken to prevent casualties and all. In ur right sense would u blame or insult Obama. Infact u be real ode kmt.
DeleteHelp me Praise God O...
ReplyDeleteThanks To God...
No power outage, no flooded basement, no emergencies..
My prayers to all those who lost properties and loved ones....through Hurricane..
...wonder why only the hurricane with female name always cause drama....
@moi cos woman exist inorder 2 give man wahala
DeleteWho can question God?
ReplyDeleteHi linda I'm half nigerian its not easy here the hurricane is like really bad Everything is just a diaster it ruined my birthday car(I'm sixteen)
ReplyDeleteBUT IS IT TRUE NIGERIA HAS NO NATURAL DIASTERS?

DeleteJesu ti fe padawa......jesus is coming back again!
ReplyDeleteGod save america...Good people,Great nation
ReplyDeletedis is the sign of end time indeed,pls those of u who have not repented should do so now,before rapture take u unaware,tomorrow may be too late.JESUS LOVE U ALL
ReplyDeleteIn Nigeria, it is called flooding but in US superstorm, the diff is clear
ReplyDeletethe lord is their strength
ReplyDelete@WHY SO SERIOUS....correct analogy.....my darln nyc, feel like crying...all my familiar terrain in these pics....thank God i'm back to naija....hope nyc would be restored
ReplyDeleteBullshyt with all these end time talk abeg. . The world has been experiencing natural disasters since time memorial, all those religious mongers attributing it to signs of an end or some God being angry with humans are delusional and paranoid. Come another century, more will come, remember china and Japan's mammoth natural disaster as well.
ReplyDeleteAt least, the people of these countries are practical in their approach and do not blame the government for inevitable disasters like we do in Nigeria where people lose their girlfriends, fail in their marriages and in life and blame Jonathan for it. Disasters happen, they are normal life phenomenon that happen, they can neither be prevented nor controlled, they come when they want to come, all we as humans can do is prepare for it both before and after it has wrecked its havoc. At least, we sef don dey see as e be too abi?
its funny but we had our own flood disaster recently in some states ie Delta,Baylesa,kogi etc were lives was lost so Nigeria is not immunued from it(calling it flood Ngozi,Efe etc) only we dont make a big deal out of it cos we got so many issues to be dwelling too much on one,in a country were the government of the day is without focus.
ReplyDeleteMany people lost electricity here. But all is well. If this happened in Nigeria many people would have died. The US government evacuated the dangerous areas and put people in hotels or shelters to stay to be safe. It was the stubborn people that didn't want to leave their homes that died. America is Great
ReplyDeleteThe storm is a storm. Not a hurricane. There.have been worse in US history. Most casualties were from people not heeding the warnings. Did you all forget Katrina, Ike, this were all hurricanes. Survivors will be fine. The infrastructure, insurance policies and disaster plans in the US are.second to none. May God be.with all those.in Hiatus and the Carribean who lost loved ones..
ReplyDeleteMay d souls of d departed rest in peace. God bless 9ja.
ReplyDeletePlease people.....lets be objective and non-sentimental about our comments. We record more deaths from Boko Haram, armed robbery, accidents, ALUU type of cases, ritual killings and others that go unnoticed.
ReplyDeleteSo lets sympathise with the families of those who lost their lives. We are not any better!
God bless the world....Christ is indeed coming soon.
*linda, abeg post my comment..thanks*
Poor USA... Thankfully, Nigeria's only disaster is PDP....
ReplyDeleteLuke 21:25 There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea.
ReplyDeleteONE OF THE SIGNS THAT JESUS PREDICTED ABOUT THE NEARNESS OF HIS COMING. SEE THE REST IN LUKE 21, MATTHEW 24

ReplyDelete(Linda abeg post my comment oo)
May God Bless the People of America
ReplyDeleteWO ALL YOU END TIMES ARE COMING SCREAMERS SHUT UP! Natural disasters have been happening since the beginning of time, GO AND READ YOUR HISTORY BOOKS!
ReplyDeleteVolcano, Indonesia, 1815 - 80,000dead
Cyclone, Bombay, 1882- 100,000dead
Earthquake, China, 1556 - 830,000dead
Earthquake, Portugal, 1755 -100,000dead
Earthquake, Turkey, 1268 - 60,000dead
Flood , the Netherlands,1630 - 100,000dead
THE FREAKING BLACK DEATH THAT AFFECTED THE WORLD AND LASTED ALMOST 400 YEARS!! - 100,000,000dead!!
And these are just the recorded ones!
1000, 500, 300 years before this worse things like this has happened and oh look (looks from side to side) we are still here. Go and park your self-righteous butts somewhere, as if if Jesus comes now you will be won't still be here. Stop pointing to the wood in other people's eyes and pull the BIG FAT LOG in yours!
And all of you saying the US is paying for its sins. God help us all. So Nigeria is a saintly country? Lets not fool ourselves, we are one of the most religious countries but most of us (even me I no go lie) are hypocrites And treat our fellow citizens worse than Dogs! I believe that if God were to unleash his anger on us, hmmmmm.
Oh and honestly, if the US government offered any of you green card, flooding and all, Hm, all of you will jump on the next plane there.
Are any of you God? Are you all knowing? Can you even begin to comprehend the tiniest details behind why the Almighty lets certain things happen? God gave you a brain, think, use you God given nuggen. Ignorance is no excuse.
all i have to say is "God you are great"..you can wipe a whole country in a wink..moral of the situation : we should not take God for granted.
ReplyDeleteCorrection Linda - This is the worst storm to hit the East coast. America has seen a storm bigger than this and her name was Katrina. God help America...
ReplyDeleteare the kardashians' still in New York?? my prayers to all Americans...
ReplyDeleteDear ignorant Nigerians, hurricanes are a fact of life. They have been happening since time immemorial. Even as of when there were no Americans, probably not even Indians, there were hurricanes and snow storms. Whose sin was God punishing? The dinosaurs? Come on people stop with the knee jerk "end time" "sodom" Afghanistan" explanations and use your brains.
ReplyDeleteCan some pple jst stfu abt end time bulshit huh! Naija nd der shallow thinking.........itx called natural disaster nd this s not d 1st time itx happenin. So whatsup wv dt,all we hv 2 do s 2 pray 4 dem
ReplyDeletelinda,am a living witness as a tourist who has never witnessed such. Was almost half dead,i was saved by his grace cos i was alone in NYC in my sister house.I was indoor all through even presently and cant wait to go back to naija tomorrow. What happened here,i do not wish it for my enemy,CNN broadcst was helpful but at the same time gave one more reason to be closer to God. Infact,was actually typing to respond to your first update on the hurricane the next thing i heard was this heavy wind with a scary sound like witches flying,next thing my cables were off and couldnt post.Infact,Linda,i thank God. I pray my flight is not cancelled so that i can quickly go back as the tourist that i am here for,am done with my purpose .Chineke di involve.
ReplyDeleteDear Anon, a it's a super storm cos it came with rain, floorings from both rain and the sea, snow storms and heavy winds and gusts. So how is Thà the same as Naija flood. Note it was a hurricane that made land fall as a storm.
ReplyDeleteAunty Linda more than 13 people lost their lives.
THROUGH THE EAST COAST, NOT THE US! THE COUNTRY IS NOT FLOODED NOR IS THERE POWER OUTRAGE. QUIT EXAGGERATING LINDA.
ReplyDeletelol,@ why so serious u r soooo on point buddy.
ReplyDelete@ WHY SO SERIOUS..........YOU SAID IT ALL......Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe end time's near...people are now starting to believe the thrash in that 2012 movie
ReplyDeleteShit happens! That's why we all go to toilet..
ReplyDeleteEvry fucking human beign on this fucking planet is going to die someday..
So just live your life and make the best out of it.
Boko Haram has killed more pipu than the pipu that died in that storm..
Hornestly" wat de fuck are you pipu talkin abt!
