Editor’s Note: Prophet Rick Joyner warns that when you see strange and extreme weather (record breaking highs, lows, floods, droughts, tornadoes, storms), it is a prophetic sign that the Revelation Days are upon us.
The drought in the Midwest is taking a toll on more than just farmers as rivers are drying up & water temperatures have risen to levels as high as 100 degrees.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources reported that about 40,000 shovelnose sturgeon were killed last week in water as hot at 97 degrees. Illinois biologists are reporting tens of thousands largemouth and smallmouth bass died due to the torrid conditions.
Iowa officials estimated the economic loss due to the deaths of the sturgeon at nearly $10 million. The high cost is due to the value of the fish eggs for caviar. The fish are normally valued at more than $110 a pound.
“These last two years are the hottest we’ve ever seen,” Doug Nygren of the Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism. He stated that in Kansas the lower water levels pull younger and smaller game fish away from the vegetation at the shoreline and makes them easier prey for predators.
Other fish populations have been found to have significant bacterial infections due to the water conditions.
