Officials issue warning after a woman in Canton was nipped by a bear.

Canton police are issuing a warning to residents after a woman who was out gardening Friday afternoon was nipped by a black bear.

Officers said the woman was in her yard on Atwater road around 3:30 p.m. Friday when the bear approached her.

The victim told police she had been tending to her garden when she looked up to see the bear. The bear then nipped her before the woman was able to scare it off.

The Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection was notified and responded to the scene.

DEEP officials immediately began attempting to locate the bear and have set up traps for the animal.

Coastal tornado was rare 'landspout' with unusual rotation in Bogue, North Carolina

Tornado damage at Bogue

A man suffered a cut hand and several large items were picked up and tossed around — including a boat on a trailer — in a tornado at the North Carolina coast Saturday afternoon.

Weather officials now say that the tornado at Bogue was very rare — the twister rotated clockwise, which is seen in only about 1 to 2 percent of all tornadoes in the northern hemisphere.

Most that have a clockwise rotation are generally waterspouts or weak tornadoes that do not have rotating updrafts like many "classic" tornadoes.

The EF-0 tornado hit in Carteret County, but the radar signature wasn't typical, weather forecasters said.

Comment: Last month another rare anticyclonic(clockwise) tornado was discovered in Oklahoma.

Hailstones the size of tennis balls caused millions of euros worth of damage to cars and other property in the south of the country on Thursday evening. The giant hailstones hit the area east of Eindhoven running from Helmond to Venray and Venlo after the development of a supercell storm.

'It was like a war zone in Luyksgestel,' said one Twitter user. Such big hailstones are extremely rare in the Netherlands. 'They were not hailstones, they were balls of ice,' a spokesman for the Dutch insurers' organisation told news agency ANP. 'Cars have been covered with dents and lots of roofs and skylights have been damaged.'

The previous evening, some €20m worth of damage was caused by flash flooding in the Randstad central urban belt.

The highly secretive arm of the U.S. Department of Agriculture known as Wildlife Services killed more than 3.2 million animals during fiscal year 2015, according to new data released by the agency.

The total number of wolves, coyotes, bears, mountain lions, beavers, foxes, eagles and other animals killed largely at the behest of the livestock industry and other agribusinesses represents a half-million-animal increase more than the 2.7 million animals the agency killed in 2014.

Despite increasing calls for reform a century after the federal wildlife-killing program began in 1915, the latest kill report indicates that the program's reckless slaughter continues, including 385 gray wolves, 68,905 coyotes (plus an unknown number of pups in 492 destroyed dens), 480 black bears, 284 mountain lions, 731 bobcats, 492 river otters (all but 83 killed "unintentionally"), 3,437 foxes, two bald eagles and 21,559 beavers. The program also killed 20,777 prairie dogs outright, plus an unknown number killed in more than 59,000 burrows that were destroyed or fumigated.

West Virginia State Trooper C.S. Hartman uses a boat to navigate the flooded streets of Rainelle, W. Va., on Saturday, June 25, 2016.

A state of emergency has been declared in 44 of 55 counties in West Virginia in the wake of storms and floods that hit the state on Thursday night. Nearly two dozen people have died, while hundreds were trapped inside a shopping mall cut off by the flooding.

The death toll from the floods has climbed to 23, a spokesperson for West Virginia's Homeland Security and Emergency Management said Friday night, noting that the hardest hit area is in Greenbrier County in the southeastern part of the state, where at least 15 people have died.

About 500 people became stranded inside a shopping mall in the town of Elkview, some 12 miles (19km) from the state's capital, Charleston, on Thursday. Employees and customers became trapped inside Crossings Mall after a bridge that connected the center to a main road collapsed.

A dead humpback whale was found just outside the Shinnecock Inlet in Southampton.

A dead humpback whale was spotted floating in the water on Friday about a half mile outside of the Shinnecock Inlet in Southampton.

The cause of death for the whale was not immediately clear, as the Riverhead Foundation for Marine Research and Preservation did not send out a team to investigate as of Friday afternoon, according to Rachel Bosworth, a spokesperson for the foundation.

Ms. Bosworth also did not know the gender or size of the whale.

Southampton Town officials and marine patrol were also notified of the dead whale.

At the request of town officials, Ms. Bosworth said the foundation will likely be waiting to access the whale until it washes up on the shore instead of towing it in.
