Oye Mi Gente,

Can you say apocalypse? Yes, you read it right; the United States of American has seen some of the most dreadful weather patterns this year. With numerous tornados appearing everywhere, floods in Iowa causing thousands to be without homes, Earthquakes in the Midwest, a place that never renders earthquakes. Now I am starting to wonder, IS THIS THE END OF THE WORLD? Now, I know things like this are generally religious or found in one of M. Night Shyamalan’s box office hits, but it does allow room for ponder. Why all of a sudden is our climate acting so strange? For those religious folks out there, they are probably saying it’s the end of the world as we know it and we should start praying to “baby Jesus” as Ricky Bobby puts it.

Of course global warming has to be a reason all of these things are occurring. But it’s sure causing a lot of damage. Half of the lands destroyed by recent flooding in the Midwest are attacking predominately farm land, which will in turn affect the prices of our produce. With gas prices as darn high as it is, causing an increase in grocery spending, can the American wallets handle any more harm. If things get too bad we will eventually see looting. Let’s just pray that doesn’t happen.
