but it's now somewhere between about 11:45 pm May 20 on the Pacific Coast, and 3:45 am May 21 on the Atlantic Coast (a half-hour later in Newfoundland and Labrador)



so there's still several hours to wait

Lots of snow still around in the Rockies, and other mountains in BC ................ it's been a record year.

In fact, they were still getting snow on the mountains across the ahrbour from Vancouver last week ......... we get rain at sea level, they get snow at 5,000'. As a result, the slopes there will be open until July 1st weekend. The longest ever opening!



Just in case you ever decide to venture out west, Janey ................. bring warm clothes right up to mid-June for the Rockies :))))

The "prophet" is saying it's 6PM in whatever time zone YOU are in. So it would be NZ first, then work it's way around the world as each place reaches it's own 6PM.

Hasn't happened here, so you're all ok lol

Just read from start to finish and have been laughing my face orf.....so funny

my real worry though is that Come Dine with Me wont have finished when the end arrives here in the UK at 6pm :O

It's not funny......I've paid for a holiday :S

Just under 3 and a half hours left for Saturday in New Zealand. But then we are Gods Own Country, so maybe we will not disappear off the face of the earth.

And if that doesnt spark howls of objection from the Ausies, I dont know what will?

Huia.

Hummmph!!!

Emmax

:D oh good...you are all still here then.

Ahem Scottish actually, CC tea coming up. lolx

Emmax ;-)

Well it is 20 past seven pm here and it looks like I've hosted a complete failure of a thread.

No whoosh! no bang! not even a whimper! And to make matters worse no bad weather predicted for today, although I do believe there were strong winds in some of the country areas of the state.

However just so you all know this is not the first catastrophic event to go awry here is the last word in stupidity, no not from America, from Australia no less....


from WWW

On a windy January Monday in 1976, 2000 people went to Glenelg a beachside suburb of Adelaide..

We faced the sea and waited to be swamped, indeed obliterated, by a tidal wave.

We knew, of course, that nothing would happen.

But Melbourne housepainter John Nash predicted the catastrophe after he had a dream that much of Adelaide would be wiped out by an earthquake and tidal wave at noon on January 19, 1976.

His prediction became rumour which swept the city. The rumour became an inevitable fact.

People sold beachfront properties for bargain prices. Occupancy at foreshore hotels and motels dropped to 25 per cent. Staff absenteeism doubled.

Hundreds of people, particularly of Greek and Italian backgrounds, fled inland as far as the Riverland, their cars loaded with personal possessions, to avoid the ocean-generated holocaust.

One couple arrived in the Renmark with a goldfish in a bowl.

At Barmera, the caravan park had the "full'' sign out and turned dozens of people away.

The BBC sent a television crew to Glenelg from London to record the predicted catastrophe.
Media from across Australia were there. A Sydney radio station did its regular morning show from Adelaide to record the Big Wave.

At Glenelg, the mood of the crowd was somewhere between hysteria and hilarity.

No one seriously believed there would be a tidal wave, but it was sort of fun to be there just in case.

On the beach, a brisk sea breeze whipped up flopping waves big enough to topple a toddler but too small to tempt even a novice surfer.

The Premier, Don Dunstan, mingled with the crowd, assuring people nothing would happen.
Some of the true believers wore flippers and goggles. A few carried surfboards.

One man came in a dinner suit, saying he wanted to die in style.

As midday approached, Mr Dunstan appeared on the balcony of the Pier Hotel and told the crowd
we had nothing to fear. There would be no disaster.

He drew a great cheer when he said Mr Nash, who made the prediction, would not be welcome in Adelaide again.

But we were ready to cheer anything.

At midday there was a bit of a count down, 4000 eyes looked to sea and as history didn't need to record, nothing happened.

We knew there would be no tidal wave.

But we went, nevertheless.

Within minutes, laughing toddlers were again scampering from the flopping waves. The crowd filtered into restaurants and bars.

The following morning ,The Advertiser in an admonishing editorial said: "Hopefully, the lesson we should all have learnt from yesterday's pathetic anticlimax is to rely more on our common sense and less on the silly and unscientific speculation of self-appointed soothsayers.''

What an interesting admonishment, sort of fits 2011 doesn't it.

:D :D :D

Emma remember this....Theres only one T in Scotland...Coopers Tea

Sue..you look like the advert for dogs dente bites/sticks lol

Well, it's the 22nd of May here in NZ, no crash, bang or wallop, I'm off to bed lol

Has it not occurred to anyone here ... the rapture takes only the GOOD people. The rest are ... now, you have read the books, surely ... LEFT BEHIND.

So think carefully.

What does this tell us?

Is anyone missing at all? Roll call!

2011 AD—On May 21st, Judgment Day will begin and the rapture (the taking up into heaven of God’s elect people) will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. On October 21st, the world will be destroyed by fire (7000 years from the flood; 13,023 years from creation).



I'm thinking it's Oct 21 we need to be worrying about now.

AuntyS, will you put a BF on this file?

For those who just haven't figured out what has happened to them
