Watching the changes on, earth, weather etc. Sometimes I wonder if we are not already living in the time of the apocalypse only we are not "aware" of it

I think we have been in the process for some time, but it is becoming more evident every day and will soon surprise many.

We see the suffering in the world and I think that as humanity it will take its toll on us.

Are Mother Earth and the Cosmos keeping score? It's like the Earth puts in a bullet at a time with every earthquake, every hurricane, every flood, every volcano, every wildfire. Something is going to pop and we are not going to like it.​

I resonate completely with what you said. Following the news on Cs I am flabbergasted by the amount of hits, but those hits are so few talked over the Tv news and never for long. Sensationalism, that is what is reported more often and then it dies out...

Heavy rains leave one missing and more than 1,000 displaced in Dominican Republic

One person is missing, at least 1,522 were displaced from their homes and a bridge collapsed due to heavy rains in the Dominican Republic, which have led authorities to decree an alert in 30 of the country's 32 provinces, 13 at red level.

Heavy downpours, thunderstorms and wind gusts continue to occur in several provinces of the country since the early hours of the day, phenomena associated with a tropical disturbance over the eastern portion of Cuba, linked to a trough at various levels of the atmosphere.

One of the provinces most affected by the rainfall is San José de Ocoa, where the 16 de Agosto bridge in the municipality of Sabana Larga collapsed, leaving one person missing, reported the Emergency Operations Center (COE).

Other provinces especially affected by the rains are Azua, where floods have forced the displacement of hundreds of people, as well as in Sanchez Ramirez, while in Duarte and Monte Plata there are several communities cut off by the flooding of rivers.

Every country in turmoil seems to be getting that response. With the USA being hammered quite a bit lately.
