The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid. Psalm 18 : 4

Severe weather swept across Kentucky and the Louisville area Sunday night, causing damage and power outages. A tornado watch was in place until 1 a.m. Monday with strong winds passing through, leaving approximately 20,000 Kentuckians without power Sunday night.
As the storm approaches, a large class who have professed faith in the third message, but have not been sanctified through it, abandon their position, and take refuge under the banner of the powers of darkness. By uniting with the world and partaking of its spirit, they come to view matters in nearly the same light; and when the test is brought, they are prepared to choose the easy, popular side. Men of talent and pleasing address, who once rejoiced in the truth, employ their powers to deceive and mislead souls. They become the most bitter enemies of their former brethren. When Sabbath-keepers are brought before the courts to answer for their faith, these apostates are the most efficient agents of Satan to misrepresent and accuse them, and by false reports and insinuations to stir up the rulers against them. 4SP 426.1
One person in Nelson County was found dead Sunday night after being located in a submerged vehicle in a pond. It’s unclear if the incident is weather-related.
Here’s what we know about damages and the impact of Sunday’s storm system.
The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.
The Sunday movement is now making its way in darkness. The leaders are concealing the true issue, and many who unite in the movement do not themselves see whither the undercurrent is tending. Its professions are mild and apparently Christian, but when it shall speak it will reveal the spirit of the dragon. 5T 452.1
Person dies in Nelson County
An individual is dead after being located in their vehicle in a pond in the 300 block of Chaplin Road in Bloomfield Sunday night.

A social media post from the Northeast Nelson Fire Protection District says first responders located the vehicle partially submerged at around 11:30 p.m. after receiving calls that tail lights were visible from the pond. When they arrived, the car was about 65 feet from the bank of the pond.
At first, firefighters used a boat to reach the vehicle, but couldn’t tell if anyone was inside, so they contacted the Taylorsville-Spencer County Fire Protection District for assistance. A dive team was sent and entered the pond, locating an individual inside. The person has not been identified.

Spencer County holds off on tornado siren activation
Spencer County Emergency Management posted to Facebook Sunday night saying they planned to hold off on siren activation until storms neared the area due to six of nine sirens being battery power only.

The agency said the electric power sirens are located in Taylorsville and that at the time of the warning, only a portion of southwest Spencer County was included as the storm entered the Bullitt County area.
“If the Sirens had been activated at the initial warning, they would have been dead and not operating when the larger warning was issued and sirens activated,” the post said. “The sirens were still activated well in advance of the storm.”
The lack of sirens sparked hundreds of comments and concerns by area residents, which prompted a response from Spencer County Emergency Management.

The Courier Journal previously reported Sunday night that about 20,000 customers were without power. An outage map from LG&E and KU shows just more than 2,750 without power at 8:15 a.m. Monday morning, indicating a huge drop from previous numbers. Impacted areas include several Louisville neighborhoods and broader Louisville communities.
As the controversy extends into new fields, and the minds of the people are called to God’s down-trodden law, Satan is astir. The power attending the message only maddens those who oppose it. The clergy put forth almost superhuman efforts to shut away the light, lest it should shine upon their flocks. By every means at their command they endeavor to suppress the discussion of these vital questions. The church appeals to the strong arm of civil power, and in this work, papists are solicited to come to the help of Protestants. The movement for Sunday enforcement becomes more bold and decided. The law is invoked against commandment-keepers. They are threatened with fines and imprisonment, and some are offered positions of influence, and other rewards and advantages, as inducements to renounce their faith. But their steadfast answer is, “Show us from the word of God our error,”—the same plea that was made by Luther under similar circumstances. Those who are arraigned before the courts make a strong vindication of the truth, and some who hear them are led to take their stand to keep all the commandments of God. Thus light is brought before thousands who otherwise would know nothing of these truths. 4SP 425.1
