Saturn does have the tendency to attract natural calamities. Throughout the Khara year there will be continued incidence of tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes, rain and flooding, accidents, fire and explosions. Perhaps last year when I relayed this prediction, it was hard to imagine what a "greater incidence of natural disasters" could mean in actual reality; at this point we can understand what we're up against here. This is an influence continuing from the previous period. I do not feel this influence poses a threat greater than what we experienced last year.
