Experts Warn The US Is Now Coming Into The Worst Energy Crisis We Have Seen In Decades - Could 'Harvey-Irma One-Two Punch' Deliver The 'Knockout Blow' To America Long Warned Of?

'When You See These Things, You'll Know It Has Begun' 

As this new story from the LA Times reports, Hurricane Harvey has quickly reset the focus of the national media from the failed 'Russia narrative' and their failing 'race war agenda' to the very real tragedy taking place in Texas. And while CNN recently got deservedly ripped to shreds by a distraught mother upset with their attempts to interview those in their darkest moments, as we warned would happen on ANP back on August 28th, the focus of America has quickly shifted to the economic damage being caused to our nation due to the devastation upon our 'energy infrastructure' in Houston. 

And while at this moment in time, so-called 'weather experts' have no idea where the 'next' threat, Hurricane 'Irma', will arrive to deliver its deadly winds and rain or if it's even going to strike the United States, the devastation from Hurricane Harvey is already having a ripple effect across the nation. With Colonial Pipeline recently forced to close its largest pipelines carrying gas, heating oil and aviation fuel from Texas up the entire East coast to New York as seen in the image above, we learn that these events have already prompted immediate gas price hikes and speculation of massive shortages ahead. 

According to this new Daily Mail story, what we'll soon be witnessing in America will be the "worst energy crisis the US has seen in decades". As Steve Quayle stated in an SQnote he left while linking to this story announcing the pipeline closing, "when the food is no longer available, that's when the big time riots, including armed conflict, will start!"  

As preppers and those paying attention know, food and basic necessities don't just 'magically appear' on store shelves as they must be delivered and as any trucker knows, our 'just in the nick of time' delivery system is extremely fragile and can break down in no time at all should the 'perfect storm' strike. Were Harvey and 'Irma-to-come' the perfect storms being warned of? Possibly leaving some areas of Texas uninhabitable for months or even years as we hear in the 2nd video below, we find this story from Z3News calling Harvey 'prophetic' to be eye-opening: "When you see these things, it has begun". 



With some experts arguing that Harvey will be the most costly 'natural disaster' in US history when all of the carnage is said and done at a price tag of over $190 billion when all of the damage is added up, we see that we're just witnessing the tip of the iceberg with much more potential damage still ahead. With America's biggest oil refinery possibly shut down for up to two weeks if not longer, the US has just released a half a million barrels of oil from the strategic oil reserves, proving to us just how dependent the US still is upon gas and oil while showing us just how damaging Harvey has been to the energy sector in America.

Imagine if these disruptions were to go on much longer! 

And while Harvey, like other disasters, has brought out the very worst in some people as some businesses are caught price gauging while individuals and gangs are caught attempting to loot homes that had been evacuated, as we've also seen in story after story, 'heroes' have emerged from seemingly nowhere such as this ex-SWAT deputy who has gone viral after promising to protect his neighborhood from thugs and looters as also seen in the 1st video below.

With the mainstream media's 'race narrative' being shattered by images coming out of Texas of humanity of different races and skin colors helping each other, actually triggering some on the left because it helps to prove that America as a whole isn't racist despite the narrative they want to push, Texas governor Greg Abbott reminds Texans that the worst isn't over yet. With curfews being imposed to help prevent looting while warnings have gone out that some gas stations in Texas may be out of gas by Labor Day, Harvey and Texas should be another warning sign to America. 



With the shortages now happening in Texas giving us a small look at what might be coming to the rest of America should this very bad situation be compounded by Irma and the system further break down, as we read in the new SQAlert republished below, each day we're getting more and more indications that 'the system' is failing and if we haven't prepared yet, we best do so. And while the alert below isn't directly tied to Harvey or Irma, as this story over at Zero Hedge warns, "we'd much rather be a year early in prepping than just a day too late."

BEGINNING PROBLEMS WITH WITHDRAWALS AND TRANSFERS WITH SOME FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS IS UNDERWAY -  THIS IS FROM A WOMAN BEING STONE WALLED - IF YOU USE SAME INSTITUTION YOU'D BETTER CONSIDER

I wanted to share a problem I am experiencing that I think your readers should know. It is about getting money out of financial insititutions. I have CDs with Vanguard in IRAs. I had one mature in March of this year and wanted to move it and my other CDs to another brokerage house. The mature CD is sitting there and should be easy to move. Vanguard received the fax from the other firm Aug. 14th....to move the funds. It has been three weeks -- with five calls from me to Vanguard...who has told me two weeks in a row that they have cut the check and the other firm should expect it.......funds have still not been moved and I am on hold yet again with Vanguard going on 30 minutes...where they say they cant get anyone to answer the phone in their department that cuts checks.......thus no knowledge of my money.

This is a full THREE WEEKS THEY ARE NOT RELEASING FUNDS that were to be in cash and moved easily. Imagine what it will be like with Vanguard if we have a down economy.......this is scary stuff and it is obvious they dont want my call as they put me on hold for 30-45 minutes every time I call...then they lie to me the check has been cut and another week and we find out it hasnt. I am wondering how many other people are having this problem getting their funds.

And as we see in the gif taken from the Earth Null School winds website, 'Irma' is churning onwards many miles off of the west coast of Africa, and while still many miles and days away from potentially causing any damage to the United States, it's now officially been listed as a category 2 at this moment and expected to grow into at least a category 4 storm according to the latest reports.  

As this new story over at Zero Hedge reports, while the spaghetti chart forecast models for Irma vary widely as seen in two screenshots below, many of them show Irma crashing directly into the US East coast someplace between Florida and North Carolina while others show what could be a doomsday scenario compounded with Irma going into the Gulf of Mexico and possibly putting Texas in the bullseye once again.



As we see in the next model below, even the Washington DC area is currently in the 20% to 30% range of hurricane risk between now and the 14th of September. Might Irma spare Texas and take out its wrath elsewhere?  


As we see above, things don't look too good for Florida right now but things can change in moments with hurricanes and this could easily miss all of the US and head back into the Northern Atlantic Ocean before it is all said and done. 



In closing, considering ANP has recently been asked if we know any reputable charities that we'd recommend donations be sent to, especially considering all of the abuse of donations by various agencies from previous disasters, we'll link here to a story from Dave Daubenmire over at News With Views called "Rescue The Perishing" within which we learn that Coach Dave and his team will be getting involved in the relief efforts personally as detailed in this excerpt from his story below. 

Once our logistics are in place we will be rotating teams in to the area to help with the efforts. We are not big but we are effective. The funds we raise go to small churches to help them build relationships within their community.

No one gets paid. There is very little overhead. Our housing is free and we provide the volunteers food. Your donations are placed in the hands of those on the ground who best know how to meet the needs of the people.

FEMA, and The Red Cross are quasi government agencies. They lack the personal touch and do not share the Gospel. We do. As the Scriptures teach, the storm has put many in the valley of decision. Our volunteers go to share the Bread of Life and offer hope to a lost and dying world.

To donate visit www.CoachDaveLive.com/donate or by mail to Pass The Salt, Box 744, Hebron, Ohio 43025. Your donations are tax-deductible. Would you help us? No donation is too small. There are lives hanging in the balance.

In the final video below, videographer "The Prepared Mind" takes a look at some of the consequences of Hurricane Harvey, both today and in the future, as many Texans now know, just because the rain is gone doesn't mean the headaches are, too. Language warning on this first video below.
