Prophecies Tecumseh Strange World’s Most Amazing Prophet

Posted by admin on November 21st, 2009 and filed under tippecanoe county | 8 Comments »

Tecumseh was a Native American leader, who tried to unite the Native Americans to withstand the Europeans that were taking their land and changing it.

He and his brother by 1808 set up a new town to become the capitol of a great Indian confederacy, equivalent of Washington, D.C., but in a territory greater than that of the United States of the 1810s.

Video shows birthplace in Ohio, the Galloway cabin in Ohio, where he learned to read and write, and the area in Indiana, where the brothers set up their nation. They were founders of Tippecanoe County, Indiana.

Tecumseh (”Panther Across the Sky”), an Indian messiah named after his birth sign–a great light which lit the skies above the Colonies in 1768–and his brother Tenskwatawa (”Open Door”) formed what became known as Prophet’s Town by the Wabash River in what became Indiana in 1808.

Tecumseh is considered one of the founders of Tippecanoe County, Indiana.

He made many several predictions that may have been the most amazing ever made. One prophecy was that a sign would appear to indicate that the Great Spirit was guiding him.

He predicted that, when he went to Detroit, he would stomp and the earth would shudder. On November 16, 1811, a great searing flash lit the continent. Then, on December 16, 1811, Tecumseh arrived at Detroit. Suddenly a deep, terrifying rumble covered an immense area.One of the world’s most powerful earthquakes occurred at the time he predicted (New Madrid). He also predictied the death of several American presidents.

At the top of the cliff, where Tecumseh and his brother spoke to his followers, we heard a strange sound. Was this an animal sound, or the lingering spirit of a Native American?

More information about Tecumseh, the history of Tippecanoe County, and John Purdue is given in the new book, Uncle: My Journey With John Purdue. http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:-cSvoc1J_FEJ:www.amazon.com/Uncle-Journey-John-Purdue-Founders/dp/1557534586+%22Uncle:+My+Journey+with+John+Purdue%22&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us

This is an audio recording of the Tippecanoe County siren test for April of ‘09. This was recorded from my bedroom window. You can hear many 2001 AC’s and a Thunderbolt 1000T. You should be able to hear a Thunderbeam, but it failed to activate.

This is the 2001-DC that was heard in my last video. It’s located at Hwy 52 and Morehouse Rd. in West Lafayette. This was filmed during the monthly test of the Tippecanoe County Outdoor Warning System which is done on the first Saturday of each month at 11am (haven’t changed the camcorder clock from daylight savings time).

Posted by admin on September 22nd, 2009 and filed under tippecanoe county | No Comments »

A Juvenile Intake and Assessment Center could be created in Tippecanoe County. After plans for the Juvenile Justice Center were put on hold, County leaders hope to move forward with some parts of what was originally proposed. That includes the creation of an intake and assessment center. County Councilman Roland Winger said a committee is discussing possible locations, including the Tippecanoe County Jail off Duncan Road.

2T22 in Clarks Hill, IN (Tippecanoe County)

Posted by admin on September 21st, 2009 and filed under tippecanoe county | 21 Comments »

This siren is the southwestern-most unit inside the TEMA system. I was kind of surprised by this siren’s location. It isn’t near any of the municipal buildings in town, (like most sirens in small towns) in fact, it is on the southern edge of town in a neighborhood. I have reason to believe that this siren might be on a phase converter. You can’t hear it in the video, but about 5 or so seconds before this siren starts making noise, I heard what sounded like some kind of electric motor/electric noises start. Also, there is an impressive array of boxes for this siren, more than the usual 2 or 3. I have a feeling this siren was originally in the laf/west laf area and was moved to South County when TEMA “annexed” everyones EMO’s. (The city itself has a Model 2 on top of the VFD for fire calls.)

This is most certainly not my best video, so please excuse the poor quality and the chatterbox friend I took along for the ride.
