Did anyone else have a similar experience?

I left in 2005 as that same "storm" finally reached us in Ohio.
Seeing the "weather reports" for several years, the Lord led me to read about the Plymouth Brethren, our spiritual forbears. The parallels were often striking especially reading about that first Brethren split in Plymouth. Despite time and space, human nature has never changed, and that's why history is so important.
