GENESIS 7:6-12
6 And Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons’ wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
8 Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth,
9 There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah.
10 And it came to pass after seven days, that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

More heavy rain and flooding forecast along parts off waterlogged East Coast-The Canadian PressBy Bruce Smith And Tom Foreman Jr., The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 3,15-YAHOONEWS
CHARLESTON, S.C. - While spared the full fury of Hurricane Joaquin, parts of the East Coast still saw record-setting rain Saturday that shut down roads, waterlogged crops and showed little sign of letting up.Much of the drenching was centred in the Carolinas, but coastal communities as far away as New Jersey were feeling the effects of unrelenting rainfall. Rain and flood warnings remained in effect for many parts of the East Coast through Sunday.President Barack Obama declared a state of emergency in South Carolina and ordered federal aid to help state and local efforts.Three people died in three separate weather-related traffic incidents in South Carolina since the heavy rains began, the state's highway patrol said, including two motorists who lost control of their cars and a woman hit by a car while walking alongside a highway. Downtown Charleston was closed to incoming traffic Saturday as rain flooded roads and left some motorists stranded as flood waters engulfed their cars. At least two bridges were washed out in other parts of the state."Where we normally are dealing with flooding for a few hours, we're dealing with it in days here," Charleston Police Chief Greg Mullen told The Associated Press. "We're seeing areas flood today that did not traditionally flood."Several shelters were opened in coastal counties while health officials warned people not to swim or play in the flood waters. The South Carolina Emergency Management Division said its command centre was open and running 24 hours a day for as long as the flood threat remains.Inland areas of South Carolina also were battered by rain. In Columbia, which is in the middle of the state, business owners spent Saturday caulking and duct-taping windows and readying sandbags."I know it's going to be a sleepless night," said Kelly Tabor, owner of Good for the Sole shoe store.The Greenville-Spartanburg Airport in South Carolina recorded 2.3 inches of rain Saturday, smashing the previous record of 0.77 inches set in 1961, according to John Tomko, National Weather Service meteorologist at Greenville-Spartanburg."This one is extraordinary in that it's such a prolonged event," he said.In North Carolina, Agriculture Commissioner Steve Troxler says farmers are starting to see the impact of the continuous rain on their crops. Apples in Henderson County are starting to split open because they're waterlogged and farmers can't get into the fields to harvest other crops."I had one farmer tell me this is like getting all of your cash assets, put them on a clothesline, waiting for the wind to blow them away," he said.Flooded roads were closed throughout the mid-Atlantic region and power companies reported scattered outages in several states.In New Jersey, storms dislodged an entire house from its pilings in a low-lying area of Middle Township in southern Jersey. No one was in the residence.The National Weather Service in Greenville, South Carolina, said that "bursts of heavy rain are likely" in the Carolinas and parts of northern Georgia that could cause some rivers and streams to flood significantly.The rain levels had the potential to be "life threatening and historic," the service said on its website.Once the rain ends, the threat of flooding persists because the ground is too saturated to absorb water, meteorologists say. And high winds could bring down trees like the one that hit a vehicle near Fayetteville, North Carolina, killing a passenger.The storm also has been linked to a drowning in Spartanburg, South Carolina.Flood watches and warnings also are in effect in Delaware and parts of New Jersey, Maryland and Virginia.The weather service issued a warning for residents living along the coast to be alert for rising water. A combination of high water and high waves could result in beach erosion and damage to docks and piers.Still, the Atlantic Seaboard was spared what could have been much worse damage had Hurricane Joaquin not continued on a path well off the U.S. coast. And some people found ways to enjoy the wet weather Saturday.Steven Capito spent the day surfing by the Ocean View Fishing Pier in Norfolk, Virginia, where two- to three-foot waves crashed ashore. Ordinarily, he said waves from the Chesapeake Bay would barely lap his ankles."It's kind of a fun novelty to be out here in the bay," said Capito, who lives in Virginia Beach.

Search finds life ring but no other sign of US ship lost off Bahamas in Hurricane Joaquin-The Canadian Press By Ben Fox And Danica Coto, The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 3,15-YAHOONEWS
NASSAU, Bahamas - An intensive, dawn-to-dark search Saturday turned up a life ring but no other sign of a cargo ship with 33 people on board that lost power and communications off the southeastern Bahamas during Hurricane Joaquin.U.S. Coast Guard and Navy aircraft covered a large expanse of the Atlantic Ocean near Crooked Island for the El Faro, which was taking on water as it was battered by massive waves at the height of the hurricane. The search was halted at nightfall and was expected to resume Sunday. Authorities don't know yet what happened to the ship or whether the discovery of the life ring means that the crew were forced to abandon the ship, said Chief Petty Officer Ryan Doss, a Coast Guard spokesman in Miami."There are plenty of instances where things get torn off a ship in heavy winds," Doss said. "It even happens to Coast Guard cutters."The life ring was spotted 120 miles (193 kilometres) northeast of Crooked Island, about 70 miles (113 kilometres) from the last known position of the El Faro before authorities lost contact with it on Thursday as Joaquin raged through that section of the Bahamas as a powerful Category 4 hurricane.TOTE Maritime Puerto Rico, the operator of the ship, said in a statement that it told family members of the crew, who gathered at a union hall in Jacksonville, Florida, that they should not be discouraged by the discovery of the life ring and that it will help the Coast Guard with the search."While this reflects that the ship was caught in rough seas and extreme weather, it is in no way indicative of the ship's fate," the company said. "Small items such as life rings and life jackets are lost at sea frequently, particularly in rough weather."The El Faro was heading to San Juan, Puerto Rico from Jacksonville, Florida when it ran into trouble. It was being battered by winds of more than 130 mph and waves of up to 30 feet (9 metres). The crew reported it had taken on water and was listing 15 degrees but said it was "manageable," according to the company. That was the last it was heard from.The El Faro departed Sept. 29, when Joaquin was still a tropical storm, with 28 crew members from the United States and five from Poland. The company described them as experienced and "more than equipped to handle situations such as changing weather."The weather has improved now that Hurricane Joaquin has moved to the northeast, away from the Bahamas on a path toward Bermuda, but high seas and heavy winds were still making it difficult to search.The vessel carried 685 containers and had on board an EPIRB, which transmits distress signals. An initial ping was received Thursday morning, but no new ones have followed as Coast Guard helicopters and C-130 planes and Navy P-8 scan from the skies.As the threat of the storm receded on a path that would take it away from the U.S. mainland, people in the southeastern Bahamas were in cleanup mode. Joaquin destroyed houses, uprooted trees and unleashed heavy flooding as it hurled torrents of rain. Officials said it would take time to come up with a complete assessment of the damage to private property and infrastructure.An elderly man died on Long Island during the hurricane but it has not yet been determined if the storm caused his death, said Capt. Stephen Russell, the director of the Bahamas National Emergency Management Agency.Late Saturday, the storm was centred about 455 miles (730 kilometres) southwest of Bermuda and was moving northeast at 17 mph (28 kph). It strengthened again into a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph (235 kph), according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. The storm is expected to lose strength in upcoming days, but a tropical storm warning and a hurricane watch were issued for Bermuda.The eye of Joaquin was expected to pass west of Bermuda on Sunday, but the storm still might veer closer to the island, forecasters warned.___Coto reported from San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Workers dig up more bodies as mudslide death toll reaches 56; 350 believed missing-The Canadian PressBy Sonia Perez D., The Associated Press | The Canadian Press – OCT 3,15-YAHOONEWS
SANTA CATARINA PINULA, Guatemala - Rescue workers using shovels and pickaxes recovered more bodies from the rubble of a collapsed hillside on the outskirts of Guatemala City Saturday as officials said the death toll had risen to 56 with another 350 people believed missing.Julio Sanchez, spokesman for Guatemala's volunteer firefighters, told a news conference that the death toll will likely continue to rise as emergency crews dig through tons of earth that buried an estimated 125 homes Thursday night. The previous number of confirmed dead had been 30 with up to 600 people believed missing."We still have hope of finding people alive if we keep searching," said emergency services co-ordinator, Sergio Cabanas.At the search site, workers with dogs laboured without rest, halting only when a long whistle sounded, testing if anyone was still alive under the mud and debris."We're from the rescue unit," one worker announced. "If there is someone there, please make some noise or yell."When no response was heard, two more long whistles sounded, a sign that the workers should continue digging.Cabanas said he had been contacted by several people who reported receiving messages on their cellphones from family members trapped under the rubble. He said authorities had not seen the reported text messages, but had asked local telephone companies to try to map out the places where the messages were sent from.Among those mourning the loss of their relatives on Saturday was Nehemias Gonzalez, who seemed to have run out of tears. He lost his 21-year-old wife, Masiel Alexandra, and their 2-year-old child, Angel Efrain.Gonzalez said he was working at his job at a McDonald's restaurant when the landslide occurred. He said he usually left work at 11 p.m., but that day he was given extra chores and didn't leave until 4 a.m. Friday. It wasn't until then that he learned about the disaster."The last thing she said when I called her on the telephone in the afternoon was that she loved me," Gonzalez said, looking down at the ground. "I love her, too."Also at the site on Saturday was Haroldo Perez, who travelled with four other relatives from San Marcos, about 177 miles (285 kilometres) west of the capital. Armed with shovels, they were searching for his 36-year-old sister Mary Perez, a secretary they had not heard from since the mudslide.The dead were being brought to an improvised morgue where weeping relatives identified the bodies. The dead included Quani Bonilla, 18, who played on the national squash team.Also among the bodies, rescuers found a mother embracing her two girls, said Carlos Turcios, a doctor who saw them when he came to help the rescue.The hill that towers over Cambray, a neighbourhood in the suburb of Santa Catarina Pinula, about 10 miles (15 kilometres) east of Guatemala City, partly collapsed onto a 200-foot (60-meter) stretch of the hamlet just before midnight, burying an estimated 125 homes.Raul Rodas, an assistant village mayor, said about 150 families had lived in the area where the mudslide occurred.Some of the untouched homes in Cambray, which sits on the edge of a small river, were abandoned by their owners for fear of further mudslides.Homemaker Dulce del Carmen Lavarenzo Pu said she had just returned from church Thursday evening when the ground shook and she heard a terrible noise. A wave of mud slid from the nearby mountainside and buried everything just 150 feet (50 metres) from her house."Everything went black, because the lights went out," the 28-year-old said. "Ash and dust were falling, so we left the house. You couldn't see anything."Her cousin was among those killed when the rain-sodden hillside about 300 feet (100 metres) high had collapsed onto her neighbourhood. Marleni Pu, 25, stood Friday at the edge of the mudslide, her face swollen with weeping."My uncles, my cousins, my nieces and nephews are all there," she said, looking across the field of debris where about two dozen relatives had lived. "Six houses where my relatives lived are all under the hillside now." Searchers dug out her relative, Rony Ramos, 23, who was rescued from a home near the edge of mudflow. But at its centre, the landslide buried houses under a layer of rocks and earth as much as 50 feet (15 metres) deep. He had apparently been trapped in an air pocket, face down and unable to move."When our personnel were searching through the rubble, they heard a voice," said rescue worker Cecilio Chacaj. "They located the man, who was buried about two meters (six feet) under rubble." He said rescuers worked frantically for five hours with jackhammers and saws to free Ramos.
