This thread takes on a different light since the mid-Atlantic storm.

Millions Still Without Power, But Why? - Forbes
It would be much easier to simply take a vitamin or add minerals to the garden than to go up and paint a gutter.
Some use copper roofs -- although too much of a good mineral isn't good either.

My wife had TWO dreams like this, earlier this year. The city she dreamed of was LONDON. She said in her dream that she must hurry to visit b/c she would not be able to travel like this again.
An earlier thread had that theme.
The safety aspect of guardrails would normally be my first inclination. This time I felt the constraint of them, as the cars were tightly packed on the highway. That also led me to conclude that the curve in the road characterized a difficult retreat. But maybe the difficult aspect is correct, and the rails were there to protect rather than limit. I'm not sure.
Notice how your dream seems fairly literal. If the guard rails are God's protection, see if there are other parts of the dream in that plane of reality. IRL guard rails are civic projects -- the states or towns put up and maintain them.
BTW, with this heat wave, the grid is down to 105V, which is a reduction of 12.5%. That is a major hit, and points to an aging infrastructure not equipped to supply modern demand. Something has to give.

Be careful that it's a plastic that doesn't decompose quickly -- a (volatile) vinyl will probably leave molecules/minute particles of plastic in the water.

Good point about the vinyl pool.. It's easy to convert a trash can to a rain barrel. Ya just need a spicket from the hardware store and some sealant. I can pass along my husband's work if anyone needs to know how to make one.. he did them in one afternoon.

cities are known for riots and violence when there is a crisis. that'd be a good reason to stay out.

When I listen to TruNews' podcasts, numerous times they have told of people's dreams. The general consensus seems to be that God is telling people to get out of the cities because something may happen around the end of July, another lady in Texas who knows nothing of financial matters was told there was going to be a bank run in September/early Oct (she had never even heard of a bank run and had to ask what it was, believe it or not; and that something is going down this fall/election/Thanksgiving time.

I came across this from a commercial supplier. I have an inquiry in to Intex.

Please Note: Only Potable Vinyl should be used to make liners for drinking water consumption, ponds, hydroponics & aquaculture, or other applications where a human or animal would be subject to ingestion or prolonged contact with the water. Normal pool liner vinyl is not suitable for drinking water storage or fish-ponds. The standard pool liner vinyls are heavily laden with anti-baterial and anti-fungicidal agents which is manufactured right into the vinyl itself. It acts on a "time release" basis to help keep swimming pools free from bacterial growth, algae growth, etc.

As a footnote here, I received a reply back from intexcorp.com.hk, regarding using their vinyl pools:

Hi, Would it be ok to use an Intex pool as storage for garden water? I've heard the vinyl is not safe for that purpose. Thank you.

Agent response:
Yes, this is something that can be done. If you have any further questions or concerns please contact us directly at 1-800-234-6839​

But then, is this reliable, or just the opinion of a sales clerk (the question went in through the sales channel) who doesn't know better? I tend to think the latter.

maybe this is the dark cloud....
I heard today on KSBJ that there was some malware that has been going around that will basically disable your internet on Monday if your computer is infected. The government has set up a site where you can go and check your computer to make sure it is clean. The site is www.dns-ok.us. If the symbol you see when you go to that site is green, then your computer is ok. If it is red, it will give you directions on what to do from there.

Here’s the link on SNOPES verifying that it is a true risk. snopes.com: DNSChanger Virus

Bumping this up. Was reminded of this thread when seeing the BBC news about Storm Sandy. :prayer:

Do you guys think this could be linked in terms of the aftermath of the storm?
Thank you for your prayers!
I dont think its a coincidence that that storm went dead straight through the heart of our nation (Washington DC). God's trying to tell us something.
Keeping everyone on the east coast in prayers and for repentance of our nation. :prayer:

It may be about the Storm Sandy. Hmm.

What made me also think, that Paul, you felt, that when you saw the dark cloud twice, that it was a confirmation.... It can be. When I had a dream not long ago of a nuclear explosion (I kow it's off topic), seeing it happening twice, i felt it was a confirmation too.
Praying for you all in America my dear Brothers and Sisters. I hope you are all well.
God bless and protect you.

Thanks guys, I'm glad I checked this thread out again. And thanks for the PMs.

I don’t know what to make of this yet. I'm several hundred feet above sea level here, so there was no problem that way. But the wind was impressive. Lots of trees downed, and a few people died under them. Our weary grid went down, but only for eight hours, surprisingly.

I'm trying to draw an application to the political realm, but can't quite pull it off, at least yet. Maybe it's not to be, but I sense there is a connection, and I know that the physical realm often parallels what's going on spiritually.

Now that I'm writing, it just occurred to me that maybe the ominous clouds represent the dangers of where we're headed as a nation unless we make a serious change in direction. And maybe those people driving out of the city indicate that many are finally seeing the signs of the times and are beginning to opt for meaningful change.

I'm in a curious place where the peace of God has prevented me from pursuing dreams and visions so much lately. It seems He wants me to work on simple trust that He is working everything out the right way.

I have had glimpses of the Lord's hand active in the nation's doings over the past two or three months, rewarding the just and shaping outcomes. I've seen order start to come out of chaos, the beginnings of hope rise out of despair. Please continue to hold this nation up prayerfully, because so much is riding on our making good choices for a change.

We have very little strength, but as long as we focus on the Lord, force multiplication transforms our prayers into invincible weapons against darkness. This nation has been called to great things, but we are in need of the spiritual support of others if we are to carry out our destiny in God. We are in this together, in Him.

I am standing with you in prayer, Paul. The election season is a wonderful time to stand against the enemy. God hears our voices and will influence the people's choices in the USA in this critical time, and then when it is finished....may we all have peace about the outcome (no matter how it turns out), knowing that our prayers have been said, and that God heard them and that He had answered them His own wiser way. Blessed be the Lord. Amen
