A new report and video out from NASA about the upcoming "solar minimum", they phrased it so that there is no mention of the "grand solar minimum" which will send Earth's weather patterns out of sync, so I tried my best to fill in the missing pieces of the cosmic ray increases, strength of the next solar cycle, weather changes and electrical changes in our atmosphere, the electric universe and the cause - effect relation ship of it all. Mostly the crop loss aspect which is encountered by every society during a grand solar minimum.

Heavy rain brings flash floods and havoc to Mexico City

Mexico City floods


Transportation infrastructure hard hit as up to 70 millimeters recorded in Mexico City

The rainy season is in full swing once again in Mexico City where a deluge caused havoc yesterday. Heavy rains lashed the city beginning in the late afternoon, causing flash flooding that stranded motorists in their submerged vehicles, forced the closure of key transportation infrastructure and flooded people's homes. Up to 70 millimeters of rain fell on some parts of the city.

The boroughs of Miguel Hidalgo and Azcapotzalco were the worst hit although the deluge also affected other boroughs and the wider metropolitan area. There have been no reports of fatalities.

Last night Mexico City Mayor Miguel Ángel Mancera stated that 2,000 government workers on 20 teams were working to restore affected roads in the capital. Flooding was particularly severe on the city's most famous boulevard Paseo de la Reforma and important ring road Circuito Interior, with some vehicles completely submerged by the rapidly accumulating waters.

A car drives along Yorkstrasse in Berlin.

Berlin has been bashed by an extreme downpour which has left many of its streets flooded. Despite this major hurdle, people are still finding a way to travel around the German capital.

Houses have been evacuated and the Berlin fire brigade had been called to nearly 800 incidents as the city's infrastructure struggles to deal with the widespread floods, Die Welt reports.

Firefighters have declared a state of emergency in the German capital.

Traffic has been hugely affected as many roads have become impassable because of flood water or fallen trees. Sections of the city's A100 motorway have also been temporarily shut.

Public transport has been severely restricted with some subway stations forced to close because of the deluge.

A man who scored what he thought was a prime parking spot in downtown St. Louis said he returned from a Thursday morning trip to the gym with his fiancee to find his car swallowed by a sinkhole.

Jordan Westerberg told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that when the couple came back to his Toyota Camry shortly before 7 a.m. and didn't see the car, they figured it had been towed.

Street workers were gathered at the parking space, a tipoff that something was amiss. That's when Westerberg, 25, found the vehicle in the gaping hole — about 20 feet (6 meters) deep and 8 to 10 feet (2.5 to 3 meters) across — that took up the entire southbound lane of the street, next to a vacant building expected to feature apartments, office space and retail.

Comment: These sinkholes are not an isolated event. See: Sinkholes: The groundbreaking truth

Increased great white shark sightings off Cape Cod

Great white shark
An influx of great white shark sightings has residents and tourists worried about potential encounters in the water, especially during the heart of summer.

Senior Fisheries Biologist Dr. Greg Skomal told ABC News the increase in the great white shark population off the Massachusetts coastline is correlated to the gray seal population and that numbers are expected to rise even further.

"We've been studying sharks off the coast of Massachusetts for 30 years and our work with white sharks off Cape Cod is relatively recent," Dr. Skomal said on "Good Morning America." "The numbers we're seeing on a relative scale are increasing, in 2014 we counted 80 individuals over the course of the summer and just last summer that went up to about 147. So there is a general increasing trend as more and more sharks recruit to the area."

This season at least six great white shark sightings have already been reported, including a recent sighting off Wellfleet on May 9.
