First Hawaii, then Nepal and Tibet in the Himalayas, and now Utah is swelling, and Arizona's Grand Canyon is getting wiped out as torrential floods sweep through in a symphony of destruction over the weekend, as wildfires burn in California and Texas.

Grand Canyon secrets exposed*

On Saturday, August 29, 2026, at approximately 2:30 pm (MST), a major flash flood surged through Bright Angel Creek inside Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona.

The flood killed at least 1, while about 15 are reported missing, and 62 have been rescued.

In 2025, the Dragon Bravo Fire destroyed vegetation on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon and had dried the land into an impermeable, clay-like surface incapable of absorbing water.

The flood occurred during a convergence of various environmental conditions, including the Arizona monsoon, Super El Niño, a marine heatwave, Tropical Storm Iselle, and a heat dome pulling storms eastward, resulting in atmospheric moisture levels being 5-15% higher than average.

How will evidence of giants in U.S. survive?

Hours before the flood, two smaller storm systems and several rounds of rain moved into the North Rim, with rains of up to 1 inch per hour being observed [1]. At the time of the flood, the downpour had intensified to two-thirds of an inch in a quarter of an hour [2].

The heavy rainfall combined with the steep, rocky canyon terrain caused water to funnel down into the narrow Bright Angel Creek [3], water levels rising to over 5 feet in within 10 minutes [2].

Tourists in the area variously described witnessing heavy rainfall, the creek rapidly overflowing, cascading waterfalls, 15-foot-tall floodwaters, and buildings and vehicles being washed away.

The flood also incited several secondary hazards including rockfalls, landslides, and mudslides [3, 4, 5]. More

Forbidden History Revealed (GenSix Prods)

*For the first time in history, here is an eyewitness account to the fact that Egyptian-style artifacts and giant skeletons were pulled out of the Grand Canyon in Arizona and stored in secret, underground Smithsonian warehouses. This investigative documentary by Steve Quayle (no relation to VP Dan Quayle) explores the following:

• Why are the landforms in the Grand Canyon named after Egyptian deities?
• Why are DNA samples from giant mummies and skeletons being extracted by the militaries of the world?
• Was a live 21-foot giant captured in 1877 with the most unusual features ever noted?
• Will the giants of yesteryear become the "super soldiers" of tomorrow?

This is yet another great Smithsonian cover up. Forbidden History Revealed, Ep. 1 (DVD)

Rains Retreat: Sunday Dharma talks, LA

The Mexican monk of NoHo, LA

The Vas or Buddhist Rains Retreat period ("Lent") for monastics has begun. In Southern California, although the weather is good and anything but rainy, Theravada monastics remain on a Southeast Asian seasonal calendar. This is the time when it is frequently raining due to the annual monsoon. The roads are muddy. The fields are flooded.

The Buddha planned for this in ancient Proto-India. Wandering ascetics would be blamed for walking around on alms or on journeys without considering the massive number of frogs, insects, fishes, bugs, crawlies, snakes, and others writhing on the renourished ground as water finally starts coming down after a dry spell.

• Is it possible to learn Buddhism in English translation? Yes.
• The Buddha spoke Pali (Magadhi, Prakrit, his Scythian/Gandharan language, and understood Sanskrit, an exclusively Brahmin liturgical language at that time), but Buddhism has spread in many other Asian languages over the centuries, into English and European languages due to British imperial scholarship. Now it is available in many tongues all around cosmopolitan LA.
• ‘Buddhism in Spanish is here’: the Latino monks building unique community | Los Angeles | The Guardian

Fully ordained American Theravada Buddhist nuns in Los Angeles. The tradition lives.

What would the Buddha do?

The Buddha called for wanderers to choose a lodging, a vihara if available or some suitable natural residence like a cave or shelter, and stay there until the rains pass. That might be four months. This, then, becomes the ideal time for intensive meditation practice, study of the sacred texts, and helping lay practitioners to understand and apply the Dharma (Dhamma).

Monks read the Pali canon, present sutras, sermons, and question and answer periods. They chant to distribute blessings, engage in the development of loving-kindness, and attend to the needs of the abbey, monastery, convent, nunnery, temple, pagoda, or monastic center.

The tradition lives on in the megalopolis that is Los Angeles and around the country in Theravada temples from all countries.

COMMENTS

(WQ) I somehow feel that witch is involved, lesbian witch and star of her own show, warlord, warmonger, failed presidential candidate, killer secretary of state, and all around liar. She has her own little-known TV show to keep her quiet. Chelsea was on it recently. She's still a monster. She tweets out then blocks replies. Is she conjuring storms with witchcraft with her Hollywood pack? Wouldn't doubt it.

(@davidlarson2534) In the summer of 1978 there was a hurricane that moved north up the Gulf of California. I almost took my usual path of I-8 from San Diego to Phoenix but went to I-10 at Banning, CA, to catch some friends. Had I gone via I-8, I would have been part of the catastrophic destruction of that freeway on the eastern slope of the mountains. I traveled over the Colorado River near Blythe, CA. I was the last car to cross before they closed the freeway bridge because of potential destruction from the tropical storm.

(@catherinewilliams9680) Let's hope there are enough reservoirs in the path of this tropical storm to be able to hold some of this rain.

(@pepsiholic4084) Praying for you guys from Daytona Beach, Florida. Know exactly what you are going thru. Went thru 2 of them last year. Murdered our beach.

Extreme heat strains California power grid as wildfires threaten state

(CBS News) Sept. 7, 2022. California's electric power grid is being pushed to its limits by a major heat wave that won't let up for at least a few more days. Firefighters are dealing with the high temperatures and dry (prolonged drought) conditions that are fueling wildfires across the state. CBS News correspondent Carter Evans reports from Los Angeles.

California's extreme heat exacerbates wildfires, electricity shortage

(CBS News) Sept. 7, 2022. Extreme heat is wreaking havoc on California.
