Nostradamus Predictions That Actually Came True

“The sky will burn at forty-five degrees, fire approaches the great new city.” Some readers see this as Nostradamus’s vision of the German bombing campaigns over London in World War II.

The image of fire raining from the skies resonates strongly with the nightly terror of the Blitz, a turning point in Britain’s fight for survival.
