A massive chemical spill in West Virginia has led to multiple hospitalizations and a tap water ban for hundreds of thousands of people.


More than 300,000 people have been left without running water and four have been hospitalized 
after a potentially toxic foaming agent used in the coal preparation process spilled earlier this week into the Charleston public water system.



Residents were told to not bathe, brush their teeth or wash their clothes with tap water after 4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol leaked from a storage tank into the Elk River and the water supply of the mostly rural state's largest city.


A total of 32 people sought treatment at local hospitals after coming down with symptoms of having been poisoned, four of them were admitted for further treatment, a state spokesperson said. Their conditions have not been disclosed.

'We're just not sure exactly how long it's going to take before it's acceptable to lift the do-not-drink ban, West Virgina Gov Earl Tombin told CNN Friday night.


The chemical's concentration in the local water supply was lower Friday, but not to the point officials felt safe allowing people to drink the water again - and Charleston's mayor didn't mince words in voicing his displeasure.


'It's caused us more problems than you could ever imagine,' he told CNN. 'It's a prison from which we would like to be released.'


The ban has forced schools, offices, restaurants, hotels and other businesses to shutter, but hospitals have remained busy.

FEMA: The federal government sent 75 trucks - each carrying 18,500 liters of water - as well as bottled water to help provide water for those in need

So far, nearly 700 people have called the state's poison control hotline complaining of symptoms of exposure to the chemical. Those symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headaches, skin irritation or rashes.


Federal authorities began investigating how the foaming agent escaped a chemical plant and seeped into the Elk River. Just how much of the chemical leaked into the river was not yet known.


Freedom Industries President Gary Southern has apologized for the toxic spill.
'We'd like to start by sincerely apologizing to the people in the affected counties of West Virginia,' he said. 'We are very, very sorry for the disruptions to everybody's daily life this incident has caused.'


Officials are working with Freedom Industries to determine how much can be in the water without it posing harm to residents, said West Virginia American Water president Jeff McIntyre.



'We don't know that the water's not safe. But I can't say that it is safe,' Mr McIntyre said Friday. 



For now, there is no way to treat the tainted water aside from flushing the system until it's in low-enough concentrations to be safe, a process that could take days.
'Yeah, I understand that stuff can happen,' local Jeff Bonham - who also works in the chemical industry - said. 'I don't think it's going to get him out of legal liability. OSHA is the one they're going to have to answer to.'



Officials and experts said the chemical, even in its most concentrated form, isn't deadly. 



'We have mitigated the risk, we believe, in terms of further material leaving this facility,' Mr Southern added, acknowledging he had no idea how much of the chemical had leaked out of the storage tank.



President Barack Obama issued an emergency declaration for the state on Friday, ordering federal aid as residents raced to stores to stock up on bags of ice and crates of bottled water.


FEMA is sending 75 trucks - each carrying 18,500 liters of water - were expected to start arriving Friday evening.

The accident unfolded on the Elk River in Charleston, West Virginia's capital and largest city, just upriver from the state's largest water treatment plant.


It forced Governor Earl Ray Tomblin to declare a state of emergency for nine counties as 300,000 residents were left without water.


Health officials have advised residents to use tap water only for flushing toilets and fighting fires.


'West Virginians in the affected service areas are urged not to use tap water for drinking, cooking, washing or bathing,' Gov. Earl Tomblin said in a statement. 'Right now, our priorities are our hospitals, nursing homes and schools.'

A spokesperson with West Virginia American Water told WSAZ they are carrying out water quality testing every hour to figure out the level of concentration in the water. 



But she added that the company is unsure how much of the chemical seeped into the water, and said there is no timetable for when the water will be safe to use.
Emergency workers were transporting water to distribution centers in the affected counties, according to the Charleston Gazette.

TOXIC TROUBLE: WHAT HAPPENS IF RESIDENTS USE THE WATER?



Following the chemical spill in the Elk River on Thursday, residents have been told not to use tap water for drinking, bathing or cooking, and were warned that boiling it does not remove the chemicals.



The West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources said symptoms include: severe burning in throat, severe eye irritation, non-stop vomiting, trouble breathing or severe skin irritation such as skin blistering, WSAZreported.


The company is unsure how much of the chemical - which is used in the coal preparation process - seeped into the water, and said there is no timetable for when it will be safe to use.



Local media showed pictures of residents lining up at stores for bottled water, and shelves emptied of their supplies.


At a Kroger supermarket in suburban Kanawha City, a Charleston police officer stood guard as shoppers stocked up on bottled water.


'People have been grabbing it like crazy,' Kerstin Halstead told the newspaper as she loaded two cases of water into her SUV. 'Some people were getting - well, they could have shared more.'


Dr. Rahul Gupta, health officer for the Kanawha-Charleston and the Putnam County Health Departments, ordered the closure of all restaurants and schools receiving water from the West Virginia American Water company.


Schools would be shut on Friday across many counties, including Boone, Cabell, Clay, Jackson, Kanawha, Lincoln, Pocahontas and Putnam, the West Virginia Department of Education said on its website.






Desperate: Tanaz Rahin and her mother Farri Rahin of Charleston drove across town to find water following the chemical spill on the Elk River that compromised the public water supply to eight counties on Thursday




Concern: Laura John of Charleston also drove across town to South Charleston to find water

Tomblin's spokeswoman, Amy Shuler Goodwin, said she did not know when the ban would be lifted.


The spill originated with Freedom Industries, a Charleston company, according to Laura Jordan, external affairs manager for West Virginia American Water.


It occurred above the intake of the Kanawha Valley water treatment plant in Charleston, which serves 100,000 homes and businesses, or 250,000 to 300,000 people, Ms Jordan said.


'It could be potentially harmful if swallowed and could potentially cause skin and eye irritation,' she added.

The West Virginia Department of Environment Protection got a report of a strange odor on Thursday morning and visited the Freedom Industries site, where they found a leaking storage unit, Shuler Goodwin said.


The company is working with state and federal authorities to get residents access to bottled water, and water distribution sites will be announced through local media, said Ms Jordan.



Freedom Industries' website says it is a producer of specialty chemicals for the mining, steel and cement industries.

Chilling, Undeniable Evidence: This May Be Our “Final Warning!” Mass Water Poisoning Is Coming Soon–and Proof That WE WERE WARNED! (Videos and Pics)

Quote :

And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.  Revelation 8:11

13 And the Lord saith, Because they have forsaken my law which I set before them, and have not obeyed my voice, neither walked therein;

14 But have walked after the imagination of their own heart, and after Baalim, which their fathers taught them:

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and give them water of gall to drink.

16 I will scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers have known: and I will send a sword after them, till I have consumed them.

17 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Consider ye, and call for the mourning women, that they may come; and send for cunning women, that they may come: 

18 And let them make haste, and take up a wailing for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and our eyelids gush out with waters. Jeremiah 9:13-18

Many Reports are coming in to Sentinel Command of massive fighting breaking loose in West Virginia over Bottled water as the Chemical Spill Situation continues.

As predicted, Fema Region 3 has now been activated, National Guard has also been been called out as this area in West Virginia has been declared a state of emergency. This chemical spill is now affecting 9 counties and over 100,000 residents are directly affected.

All water in the area has been contaminated with the chemical (4-Methylcyclohexane Methanol), a chemical used in the coal industry. This chemical will make a person sick but it is not deadly unless ingested in huge quantity. The incident occurred Thursday on the Elk River in Charleston, West Virginia’s capital and largest city, upriver from the eastern U.S. state’s largest water treatment plant.

I personally believe we are being given a message by very evil, underlying world powers, known as the Illuminati. If you do not know who the Illuminati are, you will not understand, and I urge you to watch all of the video footage I have included. They have ‘everything’ to do with end time events. I believe they are sending us a message that they are going to poison our water. Wormwood? The coming comet ISON event? I do not know, but it’s worth looking into! 

These are the types of ‘weird’ signs they send to us! The Illuminati are the only people who can pull off these strange, unexplainable things.

Although the woman did not have TB, the test for TB is called Lam-Elisa, which is the reversed name of the missing woman whose discovered body comes on the heels of virulent TB outbreak in Los Angeles. Again, the Illuminati is famous for this type of stuff. As you read on here, you willl see the strangely coincidental similiarities with the movie, Dark Water. Even the name of the dead girl in Dark Water was the same as the name of this hotel–Cecil!

As for the whole scenario, I beg you think about it seriously. Illuminati are famous for these oddities…and they love to put it in a movie first. I believe we are being given a message! Please, when you are done, also see HERE. This is an article by a Jew about their spread in Jerusalem. I have posted two videos at the bottom here about the Illuminati to educate you further.

EXTRA COINCIDENCES I FOUND THAT MAY/MAY NOT MEAN ANYTHING: The definition of CECIL, the name of the hotel, is, according to Wikipedia, “BLIND; SIXTH”. The telephone number for this hotel all equals sixes, including the 9′s, Illuminatis are famous for using 9′s upside down to mean six. Here is the phone number: (213) 624-4545. And finally, there are four water containers. Her body was in the largest one in the back..the fourth. Four horsemen in Revelation, the fourth being death! The pale horse!

“When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come and see!” I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine, and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.” Rev 6:7-8

Now, if you are educated in things of the Illuminati, the coincidences I’ve labeled above are not far-fetched. If you don’t know about the Illuminati, then they will seem as such. Is death coming via our water supply? Or, death by way of diseases and plagues in some other fashion? Watch! Those who know Jesus Christ need not be afraid! Just pray Psalm 91and do what Ephesians 6:10-20 tells you to do.

These are pics from inside the Cecil hotel that I found, and before you look, read below about what the eight pointed star with a circle around it means in the occult (also in the Illuminati):

CHAOS: Apparently a self-made form of occultism taught through role-playing games such as Warhammer. According to one WH fan, “Chaos is the opposite of order. Since everything changes, there is no right or no wrong — only the quest for pleasure.” The 8-pointed star represents the many different directions of chaos and the many ways you can follow it.
