1 Thessalonians 4:15-18

   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.  For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:  Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.     

​​​​​​​2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .

Oklahoma quake stirs up bird or bug swarm seen on radar.

*

For weather watchers in Oklahoma — the heart of Tornado Alley — the weekend's record-breaking earthquake created a curious blip on their radar screens.

Weather radars at the National Weather Service in Norman, Okla., spotted what looked like bugs, bats or birds (or all three) swarming in the air just after the 5.6-magnitude earthquake struck the state. The quake hit on Saturday and was the largest in the state's history. The damage was minimal, but the quake was felt as far away as Chicago. Earlier in the day, a magnitude-4.8 foreshock rumbled in central Oklahoma.

The magnitude-5.6 quake struck about 44 miles (71 kilometers) east-northeast of Oklahoma City, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

Earthquakes are not unusual in Oklahoma, according to the USGS. Most are too small to be felt. From 1972 to 2008, the state had two to six quakes per year, scattered across its east-central part. In 2009, the rumbling grew, with 50 earthquakes in the state, many large enough to feel, which has started a debate over the possible link to natural gas drilling.

But flying critters on the weather radar? That's actually not an oddity. Weather radars pick up all kinds of things: birds, dust, rain, wind turbines. In Harmon County, in southwest Oklahoma, every day during the summer the weather radar picks up bats scattering from a big cave there, said Ty Judd, a meteorologist with the NWS in Norman.

"I'd say it's pretty much a certainty that that was bugs and birds that were scattering," Judd told OurAmazingPlanet.

The radar images after the quake looked like what meteorologists typically see when birds take flight, but "this was on a little bit bigger scale," Judd said.

Incidents of animals acting strangely during earthquakes have been in the news lately, and this may just be the latest.

Judd was at home when the earthquake hit. He said it shook his house for about 25 seconds and that it was "very surreal."

"The trees were shaking and I guess the birds just didn't want to sit up there," Judd said.
